Authorities impound 91 deregistered vehicles in islandwide operation

The Land Transport Authority and Singapore Police Force conducted a joint islandwide operation in September, impounding 91 vehicles that were not properly deregistered. These vehicles were being operated without valid Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) or road tax, posing serious safety risks due to their unroadworthy condition and lack of insurance.

Penalties for keeping or using unregistered or deregistered vehicles were increased in February, with first-time offenders facing fines up to S$20,000, imprisonment for up to two years, or both. Repeat offenders have doubled penalties. Owners must ensure all administrative procedures are completed, including transferring ownership before deregistration and verifying the sale on LTA's OneMotoring website.
