Police to push for forfeiture of cars used in illegal races

[UncleAtas]

Are they gonna forfeit the bicycles that were caught for illegal racing too?

Actually Forfeiture of Cars/Motocycles went back from to late 70's & early 80's,where there are alot of "Hell Riders Gang",at that time,the Motocycles are impounded at Maxwell TP HQ...at that time,it is known as Section 116..if i not wrong.

Hey if you drive a Mazda 3, 5 or 6 can put M3, M5 or M6 badge.

What about the chinaman-driven vans and buses, bangla-driven lorries ferrying fellow banglas? I see them travelling at speeds of more than 80kmh on expressways and certain stretches (for eg. woodlands ave. 12)

True that... Don't forget the M2 for Mz2!

[Vratenza]

That's not racing. That's just reckless.

Police to push for forfeiture of cars used in illegal races

For those that do naughty stuff.

 

The definition of race is important. Must have start and finish point.

 

Else cannot be classified as race

A Lamborghini Murcielago SV and a Nissan GT-R were involved in a race in Seletar Link in 2015.

The cars - with the Lamborghini costing around $1.6 million and the Nissan GT-R $600,000 when new - will soon be auctioned off, and the money will go to state coffers.

While forfeiture of vehicles used in illegal races is mandatory under the law, actual confiscation is rare because there is a strict definition of racing. For instance, there has to be a defined start and end point.

Hence, there were only five cases of illegal racing from 2014 to September this year. Others were classified under "dangerous driving", of which there were 232 cases in the same period.

Right now, illegal racing cases pertaining to four other vehicles - two BMWs and two Volkswagens - are pending, the police told The Straits Times yesterday during a visit to their vehicle pound off Airport Road.

 

The BMWs were found racing along Lim Chu Kang Road in July this year, clocking up to 177kmh, while the VWs were caught doing so along the same road last December.

"We will press for forfeitures," said Commander of Traffic Police Sam Tee. "Let this be a warning to errant motorists who wilfully disregard the safety of other road users.

"There must be a sense of law and order on the road."

Mr Tee said culprits are usually caught during regular enforcement operations. "We are also supported by the community. Many people have provided us with information and video footage."

Besides vehicle forfeiture, those found guilty of illegal racing face a fine of up to $2,000 and six months behind bars. For dangerous driving, the penalty is a fine of up to $3,000 and jail of up to 12 months.

Both groups of offenders also face suspension of their driving licences.

The law does not provide for forfeiture for cases of dangerous driving, but the vehicles are often seized and kept in the Traffic Police pound during the course of investigation and prosecution. This can last two years or more.

The Traffic Police said there are more than 800 vehicles at its pound, including buses, heavy trucks, several taxis, motorcycles and even bicycles.

Bohua leh. 177kmph is not very fast nor shiok. Easily achieved in ns highway. At lin chu kang already so near boleh land.

Set a mutual end point only the racers can understand...
