There are some things we just can’t run away from, like writing stories from 2017 in 2018 and running away from Land Transport Authority (LTA) officers.
What happened?
The runaway adventure by e-scooter rider was caught on camera and posted to a Facebook public group – SG Road Vigilante – on 28 December 2017.
Escooter rider riding on the road try to run away after stop by LTA officer!
Posted by Sam Junior on Thursday, 28 December 2017
From 00:40, we can see a man decked in fluorescent green top signalling to the e-scooter rider who appeared to have been travelling illegally on the road to stop.
And being the good e-scooter rider he is, he obeyed but only for a short while. For after he made a turn, he decided that maybe it’s better to flight than fight.
And as per article title, we know that he failed, and the story ends.
To give you a little context, these fluorescent-green-top officers are LTA’s Active Mobility Enforcement Officers (AMEOs) who have conducted over 2400 enforcement operations as of 19 December 2017.
Job scope: Seize Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) whose users are found to be riding on the roads. And here’s what LTA has to say:
“Riding your PMDs on the roads is illegal, and such reckless behavior endangers both the rider and other road users. Our AMEOs will continue to conduct enforcement operations and take firm action against any rider found breaking the law.”
Those e-scooter riders who have siam-ed the law so far, don’t rejoice just yet. According to LTA who said in a press release on 2 January, users caught riding on roads will face tougher enforcement action from 15 January.
Instead of your PMDs being confiscated, 1st-time offenders who ride on expressways will be charged in court. They will also face a fine of S$300 or S$500 (depending on whether they were riding on local / major roads).
Nah, see this graphic:
For serious cases, one might have to sit behind bars.
“In the event of a conviction in court, offenders convicted for the first time face a fine of up to S$2,000 and/or imprisonment of up to three months, while offenders convicted for the second or subsequent time face a fine of up to S$5,000 and/or imprisonment of up to six months,” LTA said.
Know of someone who rides like he owns the road? Share it with them. The year just started only leh, don’t 白白 donate your money to the government can or not?
