"Man caught illegally riding e-scooter along PIE
SINGAPORE: A man was stopped by officers while riding his electric scooter along the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) on Sunday morning (Nov 26).
In a Facebook post, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said that LTA officers and traffic police officers "nabbed an e-scooter rider who was riding illegally on the roads" at around "9am to 9.30am" on Sunday.
"The rider was caught along the PIE before Eng Neo exit," LTA said, adding that his "non-compliant Personal Mobility Device" was seized.
"It is illegal to ride PMDs on the road and doing so endangers both the rider and other road users. We will continue to conduct regular enforcement operations against errant PMD users to keep our roads safe for all users.
The man is currently assisting LTA with their investigations."
Kudos to the Traffics Police for nabbing this crazy rider who just committed a very STUPID and dangerous offence!
While I try NOT to add insult to this 'rider' now that he is in a bit of a bother with the laws, I could not help but to ask the TP and LTA to be very strict with this person. He has lost his e-scooter. Good for him so he is safe from himself and other road users. It will be tragic if some drivers knock him down killing or permanently disabled him.
Is the rider mentally sound? if he is not, mental psychiatric help must be rendered to him. If he is legal sane, his STUPID act must make him pay a price that he will NEVER even dare think it, let alone do it!
Next the LTA MUST find out WHERE did he modify his e-scooter to reach that kind of speed? The outfit or 'business' that do this type of modification MUST be brought under the laws too. The punishment must be VERY VERY STRICT TOO.
One may go to the extreme of closing down this 'business' as it is illegal and dangerous. Of course, if the owner(s) has/(have) young family and old parents to maintain and they are the only bread earners, give them a chance after making them pay for this mistake.
Wonderful to see rider taking bold step to push his limit. Yet this enthusiasm and daring do is SO MISPLACED!!
Glad that the rider lives. Was pretty worry for his safety when I 1st saw the whatsapp video clip!
