3 traffic cops under investigation after footage showing them riding in unsafe manner

Dashcam footage shows TP officers on motorcycles allegedly riding without due care along Ubi Avenue 3.

Three Traffic Police officers are currently under investigation after a video surfaced online showing them riding their motorcycles in an unsafe manner. The incident, which occurred at 3am on September 4 along Ubi Avenue 3, was captured on dashcam footage and shared on a Facebook page by the SGRV ADMIN. According to the footage, two officers changed lanes after exiting a turn, cutting in front of the dashcam car and turning again shortly afterwards.

A third officer then approached from the left, changing lanes, overtaking the car, and turning into its path, causing the driver to brake suddenly. The police have confirmed that they are aware of the incident and that the officers' actions are being investigated. Under the Road Traffic Act, it is an offence to drive a motor vehicle without due care and attention, and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) takes a serious view of road safety, expecting all officers to adhere to traffic rules and exercise due care and attention.
