Darryl David on Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
Beyond making calls or replying to messages, motorists can now watch videos, browse social media or participate in online meetings while travelling at speed. The distraction is no longer occasional. It is continuous, immersive and far more dangerous. If the risk has evolved, then Singapore’s enforcement methods must evolve as well. MP Darryl David made this call in parliament on Tuesday (Aug 4) and stressed the need for stronger measures to deter distracted driving, such as wider deployment of automated detection systems at high-risk locations or along major expressways. He wanted to know how the government would leverage technology to strengthen enforcement against distracted driving, as well as other unsafe behaviour.
