The Traffic Police (TP) conducted an island-wide enforcement operation against errant motorcyclists from 15 to 17 September 2025.

During the enforcement operation, 211 motorcyclists were stopped for checks and three persons, aged between 24 and 40, were arrested for driving without a valid driving licence under Section 35(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1961 and using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage under Section 3(1) of the Motor Vehicles (Third-Party Risks and Compensation) Act 1960.

Please refer to Annex A for the penalties of the traffic offences and Annex B for photographs from the enforcement operation.

TP takes a serious view of errant road users who blatantly flout traffic laws and endanger the safety of other road users, and will continue our enforcement efforts. 

All motorcyclists must abide by the traffic laws and practise safe riding habits as motorcyclists and pillion riders can be vulnerable on the roads. TP urges all road users to play their part by practising good RoadSense and looking out for one another.
