He Ting Ru on Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
How will new road safety laws address drivers who interact extensively with a mounted phone or entertainment system, or an in-vehicle display? What evidence is there that the current system of enforcement cameras effectively tackles speeding and dangerous driving, given official statistics showing that motorists adapt their behaviour at such locations to ensure they are not caught? These were some questions asked by MP He Ting Ru in parliament on Tuesday (Aug 4). She also called for bringing down offending in the first place by rethinking road infrastructure, rolling out traffic calming measures more quickly, especially on new roads, and studying the root causes of driver behaviour, such as the impact on road safety of increased stress, population density and crowding.
