LTA absent as PMDs endanger others by speeding on an expressway

PMDs may be somewhat affordable, but if you're not careful they can cost you your life. Like these guys may find out soon enough. 

What happened?

A camcar was travelling on East Coast Parkway (ECP) at 2am in the morning yesterday when it cam across a gang of PMD riders speeding on the expressway. 

There was at first only one rider in view on the cam car’s left before a second zoomed past into the footage.

A third soon zoomed from the camcar’s right.

Speeding in a PMD on an expressway is two crimes in one as a PMD is not authorised for use on roads. The punishments for which are being fined up to $2,000 and/or jail time of up to 3 months.

Online chatter. 

Plenty of people were criticising the PMD drivers, but they also criticised the government for not catching these riders as they endanger others as well.

While dark, others told traffic police to get blue tents ready for the riders.

As someone with a dark sense of humour I laughed.

Kinda true, enforcement officers have office hours too. Work life balance.
 

So I guess it’s time for laser beam satellite AI enforcements. Lol

To be honest, there is really no way the law or enforcement can catch such reckless PMDs at anytime. Really no way. 

These riders only have their own responsibility to account for their own safety.

If it just involves these irresponsible riders themselves,we need not care the least. Let them be self-eliminated. Unfortunately, it involves all other road users!

AMAP/LTA/BYK PLease take note,!

Maybe we should relook n rethink of PMD as the way to reduce the burden on public transportation. I am even thinking having LTA trial run or have some petrolling done by men in blue using pmd

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    The approach of the year-end holidays often also means the annual pilgrimage Singaporeans take to Japan to soothe their souls after a long year will soon kick into high season.

    The best covers are the ones you don't expect

    I'm not a fan of Christmas.  Let's first set aside the unclear and potentially contentious origins of this particular 'holiday', and my general apathy towards religiosity. (Christians celebrate it as the day of Jesus' birth, though some evidence suggests his actual birth was in the spring. Some historians also note that the Christian traditions of Christmas can be traced back to Pagan roots and the Saturnalia festival, and the chosen 25 December date was an attempt by church leaders to appr
