High Coe wasn’t purposely made high all these PMDs would have taken the proper license and get a motorcycle instead…. Look at the effect of this dumb tax …..

discretionary right turn banned because 1 person died

will e-bikes be banned?

 

[crawler]

For the life of me, I still cannot comprehend how we allowed e-bikes when we don’t even allow chewing gum. The latter is unlikely to kill.

how many more ppl need to uplorry b4 clamp down on pmd

RIP. Won't be the last case. Saw at least 2 e-bikes zoomed pass on narrow pedestrian walk when I walked home yesterday evening. Don't think this only happen to old folks. Can be anyone.

SINGAPORE – An 88-year-old female pedestrian died on Sept 30 after an accident involving a power-assisted bicycle (PAB) in Hougang the day earlier.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call for assistance at about 7.55am on Sept 29 at Hougang Street 51. The police added that this was in the direction of Hougang Street 91.

The police said the pedestrian was unconscious when she was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital by the SCDF. They added that she later died at the hospital on Sept 30.

A 49-year-old male PAB rider is assisting with investigations, the police said.

A post on Facebook page Singapore roads accident.com on Oct 1 appealed for witnesses. It has garnered more than 40 shares.

Another case. Wat will authorities do now?

Either ban 88 yo or ban pab.

We continue to ban the wrong ppl, 1 day all die

This 49 yr old piece of thrash should have just die in jail

What do think the useless party will do ?

 

[ShuttleDots]

If this is caused by a regular road vehicle, the driver will likely be punished with jail term + fine + driving ban.

Will be interesting to see what's the punishment be like for PAB or just a slap on the wrist.

I tot got similar case tio jail also?

Burning down homes and banging down people on the roads.

These electric powered bicycles and devices are one of the worst things to have ever arrived on our shores....

 

[GRAVESEED]

Throw the book and jail the rider

 

[articland05]

murder a person will get death penalty
kill a person with PMA/PMD get what? 2wk jail?

having intention to murder or not is still a loss of life.
but the penalty vastly different
so if someone pretend to cause an accident with the intention to murder how?

They may not have the intention to murder per se.

But neither do they have the intention to ride safely and prevent harm to others. Until the laws are revised their pattern won't change as what's the worst that the law can do to them?
