Number of Personal Mobility Aids Users Prosecuted from 2020 to 2022 and Punishments Imposed

Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Transport (a) from 2020 to 2022, how many Personal Mobility Aids (PMA) users have been prosecuted annually for the use of PMAs on roads; and (b) what is the range of punishments imposed.

From January 2020 to November 2022, two notices have been issued for the use of Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs) on roads and in both cases, the offenders were fined. PMA users convicted of riding on roads may face a fine of up to $2,000 and/or jailed up to three months for first-time offenders. Where the offence is egregious, for example, where the offender has committed multiple offences, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will investigate and where appropriate, prosecute the offenders in Court.
