Experienced driver riao. No accident. Better than those drivers who bang others

 

[iosnewbie]

Ban him for life from getting any class of driving license including forklift and motorcycle.

 

[matey1982]

Only 15months probation? Like tat for wat f get license? Im sure before 15months he will drive again but this time will not speed

if he choose to drive during the probation (still w/o licence)
will just add on more new charges of driving w/o licence + no 3rd party insurance coverage lor

each charge minimum is sure get 12mth DQ
if he drive and cause grievous hurt, let court go impose longer ban lor

Experienced driver riao. No accident. Better than those drivers who bang others

but not this kind of accumulated experience by driving with no licence

I know why its done , but banning someone from driving who already drive no license makes ne laugh everytime


App Time!!!

Ban from driving also mean you can't officially go for driving lesson and take TP sexam/driving test.

Ya all he needs is a driving license to legalize and learn all the practical driving knowledge. He's been using common sense so far until he sped. I'm comparing him to those licensed drivers that killed people despite being certified qualified to drive.

Keyword is if he gets caught...normally tp wont just check u randomly unless u break the rules..so if he drives within speed limit he will never get caught...i mean the law should be more harsh when dealing with such cases...should impose big fines and disqualify for 10years or jail term

SINGAPORE: A man who did not have a driving licence used his friend's account with car-sharing platform GetGo to drive 45 times over seven months until he was caught by a traffic police officer for speeding on an expressway.

Jamus Tan Le Xuan, 22, was sentenced on Thursday (Nov 30) to 15 months' probation. He was ordered to perform 80 hours of community service and banned from driving while under probation.

Tan pleaded guilty to three charges – cheating GetGo, driving without a licence and driving without insurance. Another two charges, including driving at a speed of 123kmh, were taken into consideration.

The court heard that Tan did not have a driving licence. In early May 2022, Tan's friend, a 19-year-old man, used Tan's mobile phone to access his own GetGo account as his own phone battery was running flat.

The friend forgot to log out of his account before returning Tan's phone to him. The GetGo mobile application on Tan's phone continued to have access to the account belonging to Tan's friend.

Tan began using his friend's GetGo account, linking it to his own debit card for the rides he took.

Between May 15 and Dec 25, 2022, he used his friend's account to book vehicles on 45 occasions.

Tan paid between S$16 and S$154.80 for each ride, with the priciest booking for a trip from 6.15pm on May 20, 2022 to 5.50am the next morning.

He often booked vehicles at night and returned them in the early mornings.

At about 10pm on Dec 25 last year, Tan rented another GetGo vehicle in Ang Mo Kio, using his friend's account.

He drove to Jalan Sultan before heading to Bukit Gombak. At about 4.10am the next day, he was speeding along the Pan Island Expressway at 123kmh when a traffic police officer spotted him.

The officer stopped Tan, and arrested him after realising Tan did not have a valid driving licence.

A probation suitability report found Tan suitable for probation. Tan's father furnished a bond of S$5,000 (US$3,755) to ensure his son's good behaviour during his probation.

New driver a bit also can kena chop license. Yet this one outright danger only 5k fine kns
