Daring PMD riders go 80km/h in MCE, drivers enraged at lack of action

If PMD can travel at 80km/h, why is my grab order so slow to travel?

What happened?

The footage shows the PMDs going much faster than the camcar while Chinese music blares in the background.

While the MCE is fairly empty at the time of recording, it does not change the fact that using a PMD on the expressway is illegal and unsafe in the event of an accident. If caught, first-time offenders face a fine of up to S$2,000 or up to three months in jail, or both. Repeat offenders face a fine up to S$5,000 or up to six months behind bars, or both.

With road users in cars and motorcycles needing to pay road tax, COE and other fees to be allowed to use their vehicles on the road, it's no surprise that incidents sich as this frustrate them, especially with how few of them go unpunished.

Online chatter 

Some wondered if LTA had working hours, as in this incident they were nowhere to be seen.

Others just complained about how such cases are now commonplace, despite the danger they represent to other road users.

  • Clubbers watch out, your taxi driver might be as drunk as you

    Taxi drivers are our saviours when we’ve had one too many drinks too late in the night, especially when public transport has ended. But I think no matter how many drinks they've had, even this passenger can tell something has gone horribly wrong. What happened? A cyclist in Anchorvale was having a cool, relaxing ride at the PCN (Park Connector Network) when they saw a taxi that definitely was not supposed to be there. The exclamation of “Yo, what the f*** boi??” sums up

    PAB rider gets run over after ignoring stop line at a junction, demands over $5000 in compensation

    The brakes on the car must be good, rider was wearing no protection and still escaped unscathed. What happened? On 11 September 2023, at Yishun Industrial Street 1 (because OF COURSE it was at Yishun), a food delivery rider on a PAB (Power Assisted Bicycle) ignored a stop line at a junction and was subsequently hit by a car. The car was going at around 30km/h and unable to avoid the rider, who was already onto the road and stopped moving like a deer in headlights. U
