A 34-year-old man will be charged in court on 7 November 2025 for multiple traffic-related offences.

On 4 November 2025 at about 8.30am, Police officers were patrolling along Telok Blangah Drive when they came across a car that had mounted a kerb. Officers proceeded to check on the car driver, who drove off suddenly. The officers gave chase and during the pursuit, the car driver collided with two other cars, a van, and a bus. The car driver then abandoned his car and fled on foot along Telok Blangah Hill. As a result of the collisions, a 48-year-old male car driver was injured and conveyed conscious to the hospital.  An e-vaporiser was also found in the abandoned car, which will be referred to the Health Sciences Authority.

Through extensive ground inquiries and with the aid of images from CCTV cameras, officers from the Traffic Police (TP) and Clementi Police Division established the identity of the car driver, a 34-year-old man. The Police subsequently arrested him on 5 November 2025 at an industrial building in the vicinity of Kaki Bukit. Preliminary investigations revealed that the man was disqualified from driving following a prior conviction in 2024 for failing to comply with provisional driving licence conditions.

The man will be charged in court on 7 November 2025 for the following offences under the Road Traffic Act 1961:

1. Dangerous driving under Section 64(1)(a);
   
   
2. Driving without due care and attention causing hurt under Section 65(4);
   
   
3. Driving whilst under disqualification under Section 43(4);
   
   
4. Leaving vehicle in a position likely to cause danger under Section 122;
   
   
5. Failing to stop after an accident under Section 84(1);
   
   
6. Failing to report the accident under Section 84(2); and
   
   
7. Failing to render assistance under Section 84(3).

The offence of dangerous driving under Section 64(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1961 carries a fine of up to $5,000, or an imprisonment for a term of up to one year, or both. In the case of a second or subsequent conviction, offenders are liable to a fine of up to $10,000, or an imprisonment for a term of up to two years, or both. Offenders may also face disqualification from driving all classes of vehicles. 

The offence of driving without due care or attention causing hurt under Section 65(4) of the Road Traffic Act 1961 carries a fine of up to $2,500, or an imprisonment for a term of up to one year, or both. In the case of a second or subsequent conviction, offenders are liable to a fine of up to $5,000, or an imprisonment for a term of up to two years, or both. Offenders may also face disqualification from driving all classes of vehicles.

The offence of driving whilst under disqualification under Section 43(4) of the Road Traffic Act 1961 carries a fine of up to $10,000, or an imprisonment for a term of up to three years, or both. Repeat offenders are liable to a fine of up to $20,000, or an imprisonment for a term of up to six years, or both.

The offence of leaving vehicle in a position likely to cause danger under Section 122 of the Road Traffic Act 1961 carries a fine of up to $2,000, an imprisonment for a term of up to three months, or both. In the case of a second or subsequent conviction, offenders are liable to a fine of up to $5,000, or an imprisonment for a term of up to six months, or both.

The offences of failing to stop after an accident under Section 84(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1961, failing to report the accident under Section 84(2) of the Road Traffic Act 1961, and failing to render assistance under Section 84(3) of the Road Traffic Act 1961 each carry a fine of up to $3,000, an imprisonment for a term of up to 12 months, or both. In the case of a second or subsequent conviction, motorists are liable to a fine of up to $5,000, an imprisonment for a term of up to two years, or both. Offenders may be disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles for at least 12 months.

TP would like to remind motorists that driving whilst under disqualification is a serious offence that puts all road users at risk. When involved in accidents, drivers have a legal obligation to stop, render assistance to injured parties, and report the incident to Police within 24 hours. Fleeing from the Police and abandoning accident scenes without rendering assistance to injured victims are also criminal offences that will be subjected to the full force of the law. TP will not hesitate to take firm action against motorists who flout traffic laws and endanger the safety of other road users.
