While most were enjoying the Christmas festivities over the weekend, our trusty enforcement officers continue to be on the lookout for errant drivers.
At around 2am on Christmas, three Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officers got into a high-speed chase after several vehicles were seen speeding down Orchard Road.
Video footage of the incident was shared on Facebook and has since gone viral, garnering over 1,300 shares.
In a video shared by SG Road Vigilante, traffic appeared sparse along Orchard Road at 1.49am on Christmas day.
When the traffic light near Orchard Gateway turned green, a black vehicle in the second lane took off speedily.

In general, if speed limit signs are absent, the speed of all vehicles must be capped at 50km/h.
For exceeding the road speed limit by 20km/h and below, drivers can be fined up to S$150. They will also accumulate up to four demerit points.
Meanwhile, exceeding the road speed limit between 21 to 50km/h can result in fines of up to S$300, depending on how much the speed limit was exceeded.
Those who exceed the road speed limit beyond that could face prosecution in court.
First-time offenders could be jailed for up to three months, fined a maximum of S$1,000, or both.
