18 Feb 2025|4,465 views
Errant drivers have been warned: Speeding offences will soon carry harsher penalties, with both demerit points and payable fines set to increase from 1 January 2026.
The news was announced by Home Affairs and Law Minister, K. Shanmugam, during the nation's first-ever Road Safety Day, organised by the Traffic Police (TP) and the Singapore Road Safety Council (SRSC).
The new measures come in the wake of a significant rise in speed-related fatal incidents and detected speeding violations.
46 people lost their lives to speed-related incidents in 2024 - a nearly 44% rise from the 33 cases in 2023. Meanwhile, the 192,000 speeding violations detected last year also marked the highest figure over the past decade.
The announcement of the impending bump in demerit points and composition sums also comes less than a year after the TP started activating speed enforcement functions in Red Light Cameras (RLCs) at accident- or violation-prone locations.
The authorities have stated that more details about the new measures will be revealed in time, with existing penalties to still apply for offenders caught in 2025.
