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

In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Forget the Future - Embrace the Past

    Ah, the future. That shiny, chrome-plated paradise we're all supposed to be chasing. Well, I say bollocks to that. Let's take a cheeky detour down memory lane instead, shall we? Imagine you're lounging in a velvet smoking jacket, sipping brandy from a crystal snifter, surrounded by dusty tomes and antique globes. Sounds rather spiffing, no? That's because old is gold, methinks. While everyone else is frantically scrolling through their social media feeds, we'll be gleefully embracing t

    Singapore weather: Rainy or sunny, what’s healthier for you?

    Singapore can be that predictably unpredictable equatorial city, where the skies shift from radiant sunshine to torrential downpour in mere moments. Given how things have been the past few weeks, I’ve subconsciously found myself pondering the impact of this mercurial weather on our health. What does the internet say: Is it the sun-drenched days that truly invigorate us, or do the rhythmic rains offer a more profound rejuvenation? In a city where the climate dances between these two ext
