CNA938 Rewind - Lowering the threshold for demerit points – is this the "big gun" that drivers are most responsive to? #SGToday
Singapore will lower the demerit point threshold for a first licence suspension from 24 to 18 points within two years, alongside longer driving bans under changes to the Driver Improvement Points System. The move has raised questions about whether lowering the threshold will be an effective deterrent, how it could affect motorists, and whether it is enough to improve road safety. Daniel Martin spoke with Kelvin Foo, Group Managing Director of TTS Group, about the changes and whether they are likely to influence driver behaviour.
