Driving and riding simulator training is mandatory for learner motorists who wish to obtain Class 2B, 2A, 2, 3, or 3A driving licences.

Learner motorists may book the modules and find out information on the payable fees and availability of slots from the respective driving centres in Singapore:

Simulator training provides learner motorists with a realistic, experiential and immersive driving and riding experience, without being physically on the road. Learner motorists will also have the opportunity to practise defensive driving and riding in a safe and controlled environment.

Learner motorists will go through various on-road scenarios to allow them to learn how to better navigate and react to various road conditions and risks. The scenarios for the course are based on the top 10 causes of traffic accidents resulting in injuries, such as high-speed cornering on expressways, cyclists in blind spots, as well as driving and riding in wet weather conditions.

Learner motorists will only be allowed to take the practical driving or riding test¹ upon successful completion of the simulator training.

¹The practical driving or riding test must be taken within 2 years of completion of the course.

Eligibility Criteria

Please refer below for the eligibility criteria for the simulation training.

Type of Learner Motorist	Requirement	Additional Requirement
Class 2B Learner Motorists	Completed at least 5 practical riding lessons.	The learner motorist must not be liable for suspension; or be liable for revocation of driving licence as a new driving licence holder; or be under Court disqualification.
Class 2A / 2 Learner Motorists	Nil
Class 3 Learner Motorists (who are existing Class 3C licence holders) (who are not existing Class 3C licence holders)	Nil Completed at least 5 practical driving lessons.
Class 3A Learner Motorists (who are existing Class 3CA licence holders) (who are not existing Class 3CA licence holders)	Nil Completed at least 5 practical driving lessons.

Simulator Training

The simulator training consists of 3 modules. All 3 modules must be completed before learner motorists can attempt their practical driving or riding tests.

Upon completion of each module, learner motorists are able to view the report on the simulator’s side panel. Physical copies of the reports are available upon request.

Module	Summary	Duration
Module 1	Familiarisation of the simulators. 5 out of 10 top causes of road traffic accidents.	15 – 20 minutes
Module 2	For learner motorists who have completed Module 1. Remaining 5 top causes of road traffic accidents.	15 – 20 minutes
Module 3	For learner motorists who have completed Module 2. Hazardous and dangerous situations leading to road traffic accidents.	15 – 20 minutes

Learner Motorists with Medical Conditions

All learner motorists who do not require any modifications to operate a vehicle are required to attempt the simulation training.

Learner motorists who experience adverse symptoms during the simulator module will need to consult a Singapore registered medical practitioner or specialist and seek their assessment if they wish to be exempted from the simulation training. The doctor would also be required to certify if the learner motorist is fit to drive.

The learner motorist is required to submit the relevant and supporting documents from the doctor to the Chief Tester of the respective test centre for assessment.

The Expressway Familiarisation Ride is a compulsory course for Class 2B learner riders. The course will expose learner riders to riding on expressways where the vehicular speed is faster and the volume of traffic is generally higher, allowing them to be familiar with the expressway traffic conditions and provide them the knowledge and riding experience of interacting with other motorists. The course will prepare them to be ready and confident in handling different road situations that may arise along the expressways.

The Driver Improvement Points System (DIPS) is a demerit point regime for valid Singapore Driving Licence holders. It is designed to identify and rehabilitate errant drivers through a system of rewards and punishments.

Depending on the severity of the traffic offence, the licence holder may accumulate anywhere from 3 to 12 demerit points, and offered a composition fine. If the traffic offence is more severe, the licence holder may accumulate more than 12 demerit points and/or be prosecuted in court and face harsher penalties such as heavier fines, imprisonment and/or disqualification of the driving licence.

Suspension of Driving Licence

New or Probationary Licence Holders

New licence holders will be under a one-year probation from the issued date of their driving licence. During this period, the driving licence will be revoked and invalid if the new licence holder accumulates 13 or more demerit points.
