SINGAPORE - Illegal racers and those who get others to assume responsibility for their traffic violations will face harsher penalties from Wednesday (June 30), as a slew of previously amended traffic laws takes effect. With the changes, electric bicycle riders must also start registering for an online theory test from Wednesday. Companies whose drivers are involved in an offence while driving a company vehicle will be required to quickly identify their driver to the traffic police. The harsher penalties for wide-ranging offences are a result of changes to the Road Traffic Act passed by Parliament in May. The provisions on illegal races, in particular, were made after 26 people were caught taking part in illegal street races last year, up from 17 people in total charged with this offence from 2015 to 2019. The Tanjong Pagar crash during Chinese New Year in February that killed five people was also believed to be in part caused by the driver speeding. From Wednesday, those who promote or take part in illegal speed races can be fined up to $5,000, up from the previous fine range of between $1,000 and $2,000. They can also be jailed for up to a year, double the previous maximum of six ...
