Heavier fines and severe demerit points should be enforced on recalcitrant reckless vehicle drivers/riders

Although Singapore is a tiny cosmopolitan city, it is like the saying: “A sparrow may be small, but it has all its vital organs.”

Singapore’s road transportation infrastructure is well-constructed and well-connected in all directions. For example, it has thousands of roads, seven MRT lines and few LRT lines. This means that Singapore’s daily traffic flow is quite congested and heavy, especially during the morning and evening peak periods.

Various vehicles are on every road almost daily, travelling at high speeds. Therefore, traffic police will have certain difficulties and risks when patrolling, supervising and enforcing the law as and when necessary. For example, the sad and unfortunate traffic incident of an LTA enforcement officer died in a bike chase along SLE on 5 June. Occasionally, I have observed motorists and riders with bad habits speeding and swerving on various expressways.To deter and curb such rash and irresponsible drivers/riders, I suggest installing more speed cameras and more traffic enforcement officers deployed on the roads, especially on those black-listed roads or accident-prone areas.
