To further strengthen controls over the disposal of deregistered vehicles so they do not end up on Singapore’s roads, the Bill would implement an authorised exporter scheme, which requires deregistered vehicles to be exported through LTA-authorised exporters.<\/p>\n
It would also shorten the grace period for owners of deregistered vehicles to fulfil disposal requirements from one month to 14 days.<\/p>\n
The Bill would also ensure that offenders remain liable for prosecution for as long as they fail to fulfil the respective disposal requirements.<\/p>\n
The proposed law would also empower the government to prevent new or used vehicles from being registered by or transferred to high-risk individuals who are at risk of failing to dispose of the vehicles when they are deregistered.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, it would criminalise the sale or supply of deregistered vehicles with the knowledge that, or reckless as to whether, the vehicle will be kept or used on Singapore’s roads.<\/p>\n
“The government takes a strong stance against any persons using, keeping, buying or selling of deregistered vehicles for unlawful purposes,” MOT said.<\/p>\n
“Vehicle owners must ensure that deregistered vehicles are disposed of promptly and in accordance with LTA\u2019s requirements. Firm enforcement action will be taken against offenders who fail to comply with the respective requirements.”<\/p>\n
For EV charging, the Bill proposes to remove the mandatory two-yearly periodic inspection requirement for landed home EV chargers, reducing the compliance burden.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a safeguard, LTA retains the power to require ad hoc inspections where safety concerns arise,\u201d MOT said.<\/p>\n
The proposed law also allows LTA to presume that an EV charger is in use when it is connected to an EV or EV battery, facilitating enforcement against suspected unlawful or improper charging.<\/p>\n
As for AVs, the Bill would extend the existing regulatory sandbox under the Road Traffic Act for AV deployments on roads to Dec 31, 2028.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is to ensure that ongoing AV deployments can continue undisrupted until a more holistic legislation is implemented,\u201d MOT said.<\/p>\n
Modelled after this existing sandbox, the Bill further introduces a regulatory sandbox under the Active Mobility Act to facilitate AV deployments on public paths, for an initial five-year period, until Sep 30, 2031.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new sandbox will allow for the controlled testing and deployment of autonomous mobility solutions such as robosweepers, enabling the industry to gain operational experience and the government to refine the regulatory framework to support the safe and progressive scaling-up of such deployments,\u201d MOT added.<\/p>\n
The Bill also introduced strengthened enforcement powers to deal with illegal point-to-point transport services.<\/p>\n
These enhanced powers would enable authorities to act more decisively against operators and people who offer unlicensed ride-hailing or taxi services.<\/p>\n
“Even as we clamp down on the provision of illegal point-to-point services, we will ensure there are viable alternatives for commuters,” said MOT.<\/p>\n
Under the enhanced Cross-Border Taxi Scheme, the quota was increased from 200 taxis to 300 taxis since May 4. Authorities are looking to further increase the quota to 500 taxis from each country.<\/p>\n
“While enforcement is currently focused on illegal operators and drivers, commuters should note that they may also be penalised for using such illegal services in future,” said MOT.<\/p>\n
“More immediately, commuters should be aware that unlicensed vehicles lack valid insurance coverage, which can have serious consequences for commuters in the event of an accident.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
