The Government has introduced amendments to the Road Traffic Act, removing mandatory minimum sentences for certain dangerous driving offences.

The changes, which take effect from June 12, aim to give courts greater discretion, particularly in cases involving first-time offenders, while maintaining firm penalties for repeat offenders.

This move comes amid rising road traffic fatalities and forms part of a broader effort to promote responsible driving through stronger enforcement and ongoing legal review.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Muhammad Hasif, Associate Director, A.W. Law LLC, to unpack the amendments and what they mean for sentencing, enforcement, and road safety in Singapore.
