The Traffic Police in Singapore issued over 150 summonses to commercial vehicle drivers during a three-day enforcement operation from July 20 to 22, according to a report in the Straits Times on August 3. The operation, which involved stopping 276 commercial vehicles for checks, resulted in summonses for various offences, including speeding, failing to wear seatbelts, and improper use of left lanes.
Additionally, three individuals aged between 34 and 47 were caught driving without valid licences and without insurance. The Traffic Police also detected at least 99 Land Transport Authority (LTA) related violations, such as improper licence plates. Those found guilty of these offences may face jail terms and fines. The report emphasized the importance of heavy vehicles being fitted with speed limiters and displaying corresponding labels on windscreens, with non-compliant lorries facing legal repercussions, including prohibition from road use and denial of road tax renewal.
