The traffic police made three arrests and issued 159 summonses in a five-day blitz across the island.
The enforcement action, which ran from Nov 13 to 17, targeted various traffic violations, the police said in a statement on Nov 25. The offences ranged from speeding and running red lights to not wearing seatbelts, using mobile devices while driving and issues relating to the use of helmets.
Two motorists were arrested for driving without a valid licence and/or insurance coverage. The third motorist arrested had been wanted for failing to attend court for outstanding traffic offences, including ignoring a red light, careless driving, not wearing a seatbelt, allowing an unlicensed person to drive and failing to stop after an accident.
The police reminded vehicle owners to ensure that drivers using their vehicles hold valid licences, which can be verified on the Singapore Police Forceâs website.
Permitting an unlicensed individual to drive can result in a fine of up to $10,000, a jail term of up to three years, or both. Repeat offenders may face stiffer penalties, including a fine of up to $20,000 and a jail term of up to six years.
Motorists can also check for outstanding traffic summonses online. Ignoring these summonses can lead to an arrest warrant being issued.

A petrol kiosk in Tampines that provided the backdrop for the popular 90s local sitcom Donât Worry Be Happy shuttered on Tuesday.
The Television Corporation of Singapore series, which was the first Singapore-produced Mandarin sitcom, revolved around a family who runs an Esso petrol station.
The Tampines Avenue 7 kioskâs closure sparked pleas from Singaporeans and Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng for a tiger statue outside the station â an icon for ExxonMobilâs Esso â to be retained as a memento.
Mr Baey told The Straits Times that the idea to keep the statue, which holds a special place in the hearts of those living there as well as fans of the sitcom released in 1996, came from a resident who lamented the loss of the station.
âResidents do talk about how proud they are of their estate being featured in the sitcom⌠So we would like to see if ExxonMobil is open to gifting the statue, which has become more than a commercial mascot,â he added. âIâve definitely watched the long-running series. At the time, we didnât have much Internet so the main pastime was watching TV.â
Mr Baey said a proposal for the upcoming Neighbourhood Renewal Programme to revamp the area also features a marker for Tampines North Zone 7 with the phrase âDonât Worry Be Happyâ as an homage to the show.
He added that when the marker is completed in one to two years, he plans to invite the seriesâ lead actor Chew Chor Meng, whom many residents still remember, to a ceremony to unveil the sign.
Engineer Ronnie Teo, 39, who lived near the petrol kiosk for about 30 years, recalled how having the neighbourhood featured was an emblem of pride for Tampines residents, just like how a Housing Board estate in Bishan became known as the setting for the first locally produced sitcom Under One Roof.
âEvery time the show featured the petrol kiosk, there would be a short video of its exterior. Back then, it was special to say hey, this one is my house area,â he said.
The tiger statue also served as a landmark for Mr Teo when meeting friends.
âDuring my secondary school days, I would always say look for the tiger statue when I met my friend near the bus stop⌠I think it will be good to keep the statue with the new marker, after all the tiger has been there for a very long time.â
Responding to queries from ST, ExxonMobil Asia-Pacific retail fuels sales manager Tan Wei Ling said on Friday that the company is evaluating options to find the statue a new home.
âWe are touched by the deep attachment that the community has for the station and our Esso Tiger,â she said.
The lease for the service station, which has served customers for more than 30 years, has expired and another company will be taking over, Ms Tan said, adding that customers can go to the nearby Esso service station in Tampines Avenue 9.
Donât Worry Be Happy, which ran for six seasons, had a light touch into serious issues that the average Singaporean could relate to, such as the high cost of car ownership, the dilemmas faced by a working mother and marital problems.
Performing scenes of the show before a live audience at every recording was also a first for the Channel 8 cast.

Illegal wheel modifications on smaller motorcycles are âaccidents waiting to happenâ
quoted
Modifications made to motorcycle tyres and swingarms may look cool and unique but could be risky for road use.
It is now a trend for small motorcycles below 200cc to have an extended swingarm â a part that attaches the rear wheel axle to the motorbikeâs lower frame. Some even argue that a lighter, narrow rear tyre combined with a long swingarm may boost acceleration.
But motorcycle road safety and racing experts have told The Straits Times that such changes are illegal, risky and untested for road use.
Mr Joseph Lee from SBR Trackdays said on Monday: âThese are dangerous modifications (for road use). They have become popular only in the past few years, when Malaysia started doing Thai-style drag racing.â
Mr Lee, who organises motorcycle track days for superbikes at the Sepang International Circuit in Selangor, said he witnessed in 2022 two long swingarms break on road-going motorcycles.
âThe problem is the (long motorcycle) swingarms are made of soft aluminium,â said Mr Lee. âIf a heavy pillion rider sits on the motorcycle, the swingarm may break.â
Mr Aman Aljunied, an assistant manager at the Singapore Safety Driving Centre, said that using non-standard thin tyres may be dangerous as a result of reduced traction on wet surfaces.
âAn extended swingarm is a modification of a (motorcycle) frameâs structure which may cause unstable handling in cornering and straight-line riding,â said Mr Aman. âMotorcycle manufacturers have researched and tested their motorcyclesâ handling before production, therefore it is best to ride a motorcycle âstandardâ as sold in the showroom for transportation use.â
The narrow tyres seen on illegally modified motorcycles are slightly wider than mountain bike tyres. Like the long swingarms, narrow tyres can be bought on e-commerce platforms and through Facebook groups.
Mr Norman Lee, owner of motorcycle workshop Race Werks Motor Sports, said such modifications will alter a motorcycleâs handling.
âWorkshops should discourage motorcycle owners from doing such modifications because other than a cosmetic upgrade, there is no long-term benefit for the rider,â said Mr Lee.
âThese are accidents waiting to happen, when the motorcycle performs poorly over bumps or crashes when going into turns.â
The extended swingarms can be easily bought and installed at late-night motorcycle workshops in Johor Bahru. ST understands that some workshops in Singapore also provide the service.
A motorcycle mechanic at Jalan Tebrau in Johor said he is seeing more young Singaporean customers wanting longer swingarms.
âFor under RM600 (S$185), your newly modified motorcycle with a longer swingarm can be ready in a few hours,â said the mechanic, who did not want to be named.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said last Friday that it takes a serious view of illegal vehicle modifications, as they could pose safety risks to drivers, riders and other road users.
An LTA spokesman said: âModifying the rear swingarm of a motorcycle is not allowed as it can affect the manoeuvrability and safety of the vehicle. When replacing the rims of a motorcycle, the size (width and diameter) of the installed rims must conform to the manufacturerâs recommendations.â
The most common types of illegal modifications for motorcycles involve exhaust and lighting systems, said LTA. In 2021, LTA issued 2,740 summonses for these types of modifications, with 1,927 summonses issued in 2022.
LTA also issued 757 and 755 summonses to motorcyclists in 2021 and 2022 respectively for improper or unsuitable tyres. In that same two-year period, 19 and 39 summonses were issued to motorcyclists for rear swingarm modifications.
Some motorcycles with swingarm and tyre modifications can be spotted at Housing Board multi-storey carparks, near late-night eateries and at motorcycle workshops in Jalan Besar.
A food delivery motorcyclist, whose motorcycle has an illegal swingarm modification, said he is currently the only one in his group with the unique swingarm.
âI look at where Iâm going and I know how to take bends safely⌠I do it slowly,â said the rider, who gave his name only as Jasni.
But Jasni would also have to look out for the law as anyone who illegally modifies vehicles can be fined up to $5,000, imprisoned for up to three months, or both.
Penalties for repeat offenders are doubled. Repeat offenders convicted in court may also have their vehicles detained for up to three months, said LTA.
