Do you think that penalties for traffic offences should be raised? Especially those that cause death, serious injuries, racing, drink driving etc..

Seems like 2-3 people died from this accident!!! WTF!!!

As above, please vote. I've seen on Facebook so many accidents caused by speeding etc... what's going on?! This is outrageous! Like this morning, 2 cars were racing at 7am towards tampines from bedok Reservoir. One of the cars ended up beating the red light and colliding into several vehicles, including a school mini van. That area is a silver zone and a school zone, so what's gonna happen to the driver? Fine? A few months jail?!

And then you have errant cyclists thinking they own the road.

And you have motorcyclist from JB riding like hell riders.

Eh seriously lah, just up the penalty by 2, 3 times, and include harsher jail sentences.

not sure, one of the case happened to sumwan my fam know, the victim died knocked by a car, but cos of the victim age (elderly), the driver only got light sentence and little compensation to the victim fam.

all those ppl operating anything that can caused injury or death to other, should bear a heavy consequences in the event of negligence, being reckless, or just simply ignorance.

and when they are in the state of unable to think properly (drunken, drowsy, mentally unstable), they are banned from driving or operating any such machineries, should they ignore that and got into accident or harm or death of other, they should get heavier sentences.

indeed this country laws on traffic offences are too light.

indirectly or directly causes traffic accident (but no third party injuries) = ban from driving for 5 years and $500,000 fine. Because of the fecking inconvenience like traffic jams and delays you caused us.

indirectly or directly causes traffic accident (and third party injuries) = ban from driving for 10 years and jail term and $1,000,000 fine.

indirectly or directly causes traffic accident (and third party deaths) = death sentence.

Singapore will become a safer place.

Impose a minimum of 5 year jail + canning and you will see the street lesser of such vermin

Not targeting the root cause

You up the fine, but no fine is ever enforced on cyclists, no difference.

Fine people for actions, not result. Drunk driving is a good example. Catch them before they kill people. Jaywalking schoolchildren? Fine them. Cyclists? Fine them.

How drink driving doesn't have the same severity or more severe punishment as drug trafficking is beyond me.

Nicoll Highway anniversary just recently, total cost is direct damages, plus waste of the adjacent site which is still empty on top now.

But anybody fined for causing the accident? No, it got classified under honest mistake let's move on.

 

[hardwater]

confiscate the vehicle AND the COE.

This is actually an awesome suggestion. Impound the vehicle, sell it, go to the state and COE to go back to the pool.

 

[RinoaX]

I also feel the barrier of entry should be raised, on the licensing side of things. Maybe, way stricter examiners.

 

[deathan9el]

please see your MP & raise this issue in the next MTP session in your nbr'hd

 

[Irenicus91]

Ya too light liao, really become a joke

$500,000 fine??? too much already

 

[SaintPeachie]

Should 诛九族

 

[Jamestan80]

our COE cost more than a peasant life here.

So how harsh the penalty mostly depend how rich the driver is.

 

[invigo79]

yes should give lifetime ban to those involved in traffic accident especially DUI cases.

2-10 years driving ban is a waste of time. should be Pban.
