About 13,400 accounts suspected of bot activity were suspended by the three driving schools in Singapore last year, said Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam on Wednesday (May 6).
The schools are: Singapore Safety Driving Centre in Woodlands, ComfortDelGro Driving Centre in Ubi, and Bukit Batok Driving Centre
He was responding to a parliamentary question by MP Gabriel Lam (Sembawang GRC), who asked whether the Government has data on how widespread the use of bots or third-party services is in securing driving lesson slots.
Lam, a first-term MP, also asked whether a centralised or queue-based booking system will be considered to ensure fair access for learners.
The issue of bots being used by learners to reserve and book lesson slots is not new.
