A multi-agency enforcement operation conducted near Woodlands Checkpoint on Feb 25 has caught several errant motorcyclists.<\/p>\n

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on March 7 that the traffic police worked with the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) for the operation, stopping more than 160 motorcyclists for checks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They detected 18 people driving without a valid licence. Under Section 35(1) Road Traffic Act 1961, the offence carries a fine of up to $10,000 and\/or a jail term of up to three years. Repeat offenders may be fined up to $20,000, incur a jail term of up to six years, or both.<\/p>\n

They may also have to forfeit their vehicles.<\/p>\n

Eight of the 18 motorcyclists were also liable for using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage under Section 3(1) of the Motor Vehicles (Third-Party Risks and Compensation) Act 1960.<\/p>\n

This may result in a fine of up to $1,000 and\/or a jail term of up to three months.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The NEA issued 24 summonses for offences related to vehicular smoke and excessive noise emissions.<\/p>\n

Under the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations, they could be fined up to $2,000 for the first conviction and up to $5,000 subsequently.<\/p>\n

In addition, 35 summonses were issued by the LTA for motorcyclists displaying improper licence plates, an offence that is liable for a fine of up to $1,000, a jail term of up to three months, or both. Subsequent convictions can incur a fine of up to $2,000 and\/or a jail term up to six months.<\/p>\n

The police added that all motorists, including those operating foreign-registered vehicles, must comply with Singapore traffic laws and vehicle regulations. Non-compliance may result in penalties and the denial of entry for foreign-registered vehicles into Singapore.<\/p>\n
