Two men, aged 22 and 50, will be charged in court on 29 July 2026 for driving without a valid driving licence and other traffic offences.

The details of the cases are as follows:

1. On 14 April 2026 at about 5.20am, the 50-year-old man was stopped by a Traffic Police (TP) officer along Jurong West Street 73 and was found to be driving a motor vehicle without a valid driving licence. He will be charged with the offence of 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.
   
   
2. On 14 June 2026 at about 12.50am, the 22-year-old man was stopped by a TP officer along Bedok Reservoir Road and was found to be driving a deregistered car without a valid driving licence. In a separate incident, on 18 June 2026 at about 10.20pm, the man was found to be driving another deregistered car without a valid driving licence along Edgedale Plains. He will be charged with the offence of driving without a valid driving licence under Section 35(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1961, using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage under Section 3(1) of the Motor Vehicles (Third-Party Risks and Compensation) Act 1960, and using a deregistered vehicle under Section 10(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1961.

TP takes a serious view of individuals who drive without a valid driving licence or operate deregistered vehicles. Such reckless and irresponsible acts endanger the safety of the driver and other road users. TP will continue its enforcement efforts and take firm action against those who disregard the law. Members of the public are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspected instances of deregistered vehicles or unlicensed drivers. Road safety is a collective responsibility, and public cooperation is essential in keeping Singapore’s roads safe for all users.
