On the road, adhering to traffic safety rules is important to reduce the risk of accidents and injury.
To enforce this, the National Environment Agency (NEA) carried out a joint operation with the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) near Woodlands Checkpoint.
They issued 66 fines to errant motorcyclists for committing vehicular offences.

Authorities also found 13 of them driving without a valid riding licence and using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage.
In light of the excessive number of offenders, NEA has once again urged motorists to adhere to Singapore’s regulations.
All vehicles, including foreign-registered ones, must comply with safety and emission requirements. This includes Singapore’s exhaust and noise emission standards.
The licence plates on each of these vehicles must also be on display properly.
Those who violate these regulations can face penalties. Officers may also deny them entry into Singapore at the land checkpoints.
Members of the public can assist in this regard by reporting errant motorists on the following platforms:
NEA – for feedback regarding exhaust emissions:
SPF – for feedback pertaining to road safety:
LTA – for feedback about technical and regulatory requirements:
