TL;DR – A Toyota Wish with p-plates dangerously cuts in front of a cam car, beats the red light and almost gets t-boned by another car There’s a reason why car insurance companies charge a premium for new drivers. This 62-second video is one of the reasons: What happened? The video starts off by highlighting the exciting bits (think that’s the format SGRV is going for these days). A Toyota Wish dangerously cuts in front of the cam car and it looks like it’s a very tight pocket of space too. But, that’s not all, the Wish then blatantly beats the red light too! Which then also results in another car almost t-boning it. The heck is wrong with this driver? How many demerit points? Let’s count the number of demerit points this new driver racked up shall we? Failing to conform to traffic signals – 12 points Reckless or dangerous driving (where no hurt is caused) – 24 points Stats taken from: https://sso.agc.gov.sg/ - it's legit That’s a whopping 36 points! There are some people who commented that new drivers now only have 12 points to lose instead of the 13 I had in my time (I’m old dammit). But, even so, 36 is way past 12 or 13! Online Chatter Important to note that whether hurt or no hurt was caused, it’s a straight 24-point deduction. With hurt could include a higher fine or possibly jail time. This driver needs to get a call from Singapore Traffic Police and think about his/her actions for the next two years before being allowed to retake a new license. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Recently, I received 12 demerit points for beating a red light. Subsequently received a letter from TP to take up safe driving course which can cancel off 4 demerit points upon course completion. Has anyone tried taking the course before? Is there a test at the end of the session? Tried looking online for more info but it only says 3.5hr theory session and 50 min practical session. More info on those who are curious on this course: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/safe-driving-course-revises-rules-to-help-drivers-cut-4-demerit-9360268

Someone, seemingly in desperate need for money, has listed their "unused" traffic points for sale on an online marketplace platform. You can find the screenshot of the listing on All Singapore Stuff's Facebook page. Or, for convenience sake, here's the image. Looking for someone who need 12 points For some who might be confused, this means that the seller is willing to take the blame for you (the buyer) if you have any 12 demerit point traffic offence, which in this case, would be beating the red light. There are other 12 point offences though. 12 demerit point offences? There are 3 in total Image taken from motorist.sg However, I think only the first two are applicable because you'll have to attend court for the last one (opportunists can charge a higher fee for this, I suppose). Is this legal? You say leh? Of course not! If you get caught abetting a "criminal", under section 204A of the Penal Code you’ll be charged with But that doesn't seem to stop some dumb F@#s from trying to get some extra cash with their traffic points. If only there wasn't this dumb doxxing law now. We could expose their identities but, oh well. What the people say Apparently, there's like a black market rate for points. What in the world. Wait a minute, doesn't that mean that the person selling for $250 is giving a mad discount? Yeah the listing is a little confusing right?

1) Anyone made an online report regarding Traffic Offence before? what happens after submitting online? does the Traffic Police call you - and after how long? what they require and what was the outcome? 2) In what situations will you bother to make a report to the Traffic Police? or will you close one eye for everything?

Hi everyone, I have read some threads that they say you will be fined and get demerit points when you got into an accident. So I was curious whether how will it work for my case. I have met 2 accident on the same day. One of the accident is the bike hit the rear of my car on the highway, while the other accident is I was going straight on the green light and hit a right turning vehicle. I made a police report and went to consult a doctor and got two days of MC. So for this case, will I get 6 demerit points and $200 fine two times (total 12 points and $400 dollars fine) since its two accident on the same day? Thanks for the help *I am still on P-plate...

Repost due to Outage SINGAPORE : From June 7, drivers can go online to find out how many traffic demerit points they have chalked up or if they have any outstanding traffic summons. The new online service, the Electronic Driver Data Information and Enquiry System, also allows applicants to find out the status on new driving licences. An Identity Card number, vehicle number and driver's licence serial number are needed for verification. For foreign vehicles, access to the site can be done by using a vehicle number. Once logged on, the website will provide a summary of traffic offences that have been paid up. The website includes information about non-demerit offences as well - like parking summons. Drivers can log on to www.ecitizen.gov.sg or http://www.spf.gov.sg/epc/index.html to access the information
