New law proposed to ensure deregistered vehicles are kept off Singapore’s roads

Singapore has proposed a new law aimed at preventing deregistered vehicles from being driven on its roads. The Land Transport and Related Matters (No. 2) Bill, introduced by Minister of State for Transport Baey Yam Keng, outlines measures such as wheel-clamping seized vehicles, stricter export regulations through authorized exporters, and penalties for selling deregistered vehicles. Authorities claim these vehicles pose road safety risks due to lack of insurance and roadworthiness, and some have been linked to criminal activities. Statistics show a significant rise in reported cases of deregistered vehicles being used on roads, prompting increased enforcement efforts. The bill also reduces the time owners have to fulfill disposal requirements from one month to 14 days.
