An e-scooter that was used on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) has been impounded, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said yesterday. In a video that was shared online by Facebook page Beh Chia Lor, a man seated on the Personal Mobility Device (PMD) was seen riding on the second lane of the expressway.

At around 9:00am to 9:30am, LTA enforcement officers and Traffic Police officers caught the rider along the PIE, before the Eng Neo Avenue exit, the LTA said in a Facebook statement. The e-scooter has been impounded and the rider is assisting in investigations, the statement added.

This is not the first time the authorities have impounded a PMD for illegal use on the roads. In January, Active Mobility Enforcement Officers stopped a woman who was riding a PMD with her child on a road in Punggol. The LTA added in its latest statement that it will continue to conduct regular enforcement operations against errant PMD users.
