Dr Intan Azura Mokhtar asked the Minister for Transport whether motorcyclists, cyclists or riders of personal mobility devices who ride recklessly or dangerously in void decks of HDB blocks or on pedestrian footpaths can be issued with a summon by LTA once they are captured on camera or video by residents or town council personnel who thereafter submit these as proof of reckless or dangerous riding.
Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan:
1. We welcome the submission of photographs and videos to enhance LTA's enforcement efforts against reckless riding. When the Active Mobility Act comes into force at the end of this year, reckless riders will be liable for fines up to $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both.
2. At the same time, LTA has embarked on a nation-wide communications campaign, and is working with volunteers and stakeholders such as interest groups and retailers of personal mobility devices to raise awareness of the new active mobility rules.
