Works to get the Marina Bay Street Circuit ready for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix are in the final stretch, and one personal mobility device (PMD) user decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n
A TikTok video reposted by social media page Sgfollowsall shows a male PMD user travelling down Esplanade Drive without a helmet.<\/p>\n
He appears to be riding at a speed in excess of 25kmh, based on the time he took to travel past two consecutive lamp posts.<\/p>\n
He is also seen overtaking a multi-purpose vehicle on his heavily modified PMD.<\/p>\n
\n\n @asiaone<\/a> Oversized, modified, dangerous. The PMD user is even seen overtaking a car along Esplanade Drive. #sgnews<\/a> #Singapore<\/a> #PMD<\/a> #Road<\/a> #Safety<\/a> \u266c original sound – AsiaOne<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Although the original TikTok video has since been taken down, checks by AsiaOne show that the account features at least two videos of two individuals riding modified PMDs down park connectors.<\/p>\n
A photo showing a speedometer reading in excess of 150kmh is also seen in one of the five posts.<\/p>\n
This is the latest case in over the past few months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Aug 13, the Land Transport Authority said its active mobility enforcement officers had seized a personal mobility device<\/a> seen speeding down the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway tunnel. It was travelling so fast, it triggered a speed camera.<\/p>\n
Earlier on June 9, a male teenager who was seen speeding and riding his PMD dangerously along Keppel Road<\/a> was also nabbed.<\/p>\n
Those who ride recklessly or dangerously and endangering others, may be liable for the offence of rash act under Section 337 of the Penal Code 1871.<\/p>\n
PMDs such as e-scooters are capped at a maximum speed of 25kmh. They are only allowed on cycling paths \u2014 not on roads or footpaths.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those found guilty of using PMDs illegally on the roads may face fines of up to $2,000, a jail term of up to three months, or both. Their non-compliant devices will also be impounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Members of the public who encounter errant active mobility users can report them online via LTA’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
