Darthrevan Supercharged January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 Traffic police arrested 17 motorists for drink-driving in an island-wide operation in the early hours on Saturday. In a statement, it said 54 motorists were stopped and tested for alcohol consumption during the operation. Seventeen motorists aged between 25 and 59, including 16 men and one woman, failed the test and were arrested. The highest Breath Evidential Analyser (BEA) test result was 81 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. That is more than twice the prescribed legal limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. Traffic police warned that those found guilty of drink-driving will be disqualified from driving for at least 12 months. They will lose their driving licences and have to retake and pass the theory and practical driving tests to get their driving licences again. In addition, first-time offenders can be fined between S$1,000 and S$5,000. Repeat offenders may be fined up to S$30,000 and given a mandatory jail term of up to three years. They may also be caned up to six strokes if death or serious injury is caused.

Daniellica 2nd Gear January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 I will repeat again, I'm all for go in changi chalet 2weeks first then talk about 12mths min gantung plus fine... i think the best is Changi chalet for 2 weeks, gantong min 24mths,after 24mths, tagged 'pager' upon release for 1 year, all entertainment outlets to install devices to detect those wearing the 'pagers' and will trigger alarms and entertainment outlets have to take down particulars and do a breathalyser test on those buggers... sounds too xtreme. but nothing is impossible for our miw. if they can enforce smoking zones in entertainment outlets, this is childs play to them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged January 26, 2014 Share January 26, 2014 (edited) U have some very good ideas.....But who is going to bear the costs? Maybe detuct CPF money from the offenders to pay for these things, on top of the usual fines? No more CPF for detuctions? Then send them to do road work, sweep the roads, bin centres, clean public toilets, FOC? Edited January 26, 2014 by Super7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezfaun 3rd Gear January 26, 2014 Share January 26, 2014 I recall in ozzie, it's against social etiquette to drive after drinking. They absolutely insist on getting a cab home after downing some booze. Not the bogans though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually pretty ingenious I must say... scully after they see ur post, u get invited to join grass roots or RC Heard in lalio previously, they say in some ...was it belgium? Some Car parks at night spots use gantry system. Key thing is, for the barrier to lift, there is a breathlyser gadget with a pouch of hygeine wrap overs beside it. So driver must take the test & pass b4 barrier lifts. So if there is a queue....1 chap fail in front..... Wonder what will happen if implemented here at prominant leading spots. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
