SINGAPORE – A van driver did not have his driving licence validated after he turned 65 and continued driving for the next three years till he hit a cyclist in a fatal accident in 2021.

He also admitted to two other charges of driving without a valid licence and driving without valid insurance. As a result, the van hit Mr Suruj, who had cycled onto the zebra crossing. The impact caused Mr Suruj to fly off the bicycle and land a short distance away.Court documents revealed that as early as 10 weeks before Binwani’s 65th birthday, Traffic Police sent a letter to his registered address informing him to undergo a compulsory medical examination to validate his driving licence.

One day after his birthday, TP sent him a letter by registered mail stating no medical examination report had been submitted, and his driving licence was now invalid.
