Gabriel Lam on Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
Tighter road safety laws will result in more drivers being caught, including not just those who are genuinely reckless, but those that may be first-time offenders “who crossed a line that has simply moved”. A graduated approach should be taken towards them, pairing a shorter suspension with mandatory retraining. MP Gabriel Lam made this suggestion in parliament on Tuesday (Aug 4). On a new automated system to assess violations, he called for prescribing a maximum 30-day period from detection to issuing notice, to give vehicle owners a fair and practical ability to verify or contest the findings.
