    Eyewitness Needed – Motorcyclist Died In Early Morning Accident, Helmet With Camera Missing

    Hi, would like to plead for witnesses or with car cameras footage of a fatal accident involving my late friend’s, bike FBG9912Z along KJE (Towards BKE) before sungei tengah/brickland rd exit (Lamp post #272) on the 8th December 2016 in between 4.15am to 4.52am.

    It was believed that Police received a call from member of public informing of the accident at 4.52am and upon police arrival, his body was found on the ground. His helmet was nowhere to be found and I suspected that someone might have removed the Caberg duke flip up helmet (black) since it’s attached with a camera to run away with the evidence as there are only minor scratches found on the face. Police are still investigating the case and so far it’s being classified as a self skidded which my friends and myself refused to accept as he is a very safe rider and always cautious when riding his bike. He was on the way home from work and just few turns away from his destination.

    He left behind a wife and a 7 month’s old son. I will be grateful if any eyewitness who may have pass by during that time to step out to assist with investigation.

    I’ve attached a picture and the cut off area is where the body is found.

    For the culprit who stole his helmet, do believe in karma and I hope you will be caught and justice be served!!!

    Thanks guys!

  • Motorcyclist To Be Charged For Dangerous Riding In Yishun

    Motorcyclist To Be Charged For Dangerous Riding In Yishun

    A motorcyclist will be charged in court for riding dangerously after he went against the flow of traffic and exceeded the speed limit by more than three times, the Singapore Police Force said on Thursday (Sep 15).

    During a Traffic Police operation along Yishun Avenue 1 on Jul 6 at 2.45am, the 23-year-old motorcyclist was spotted riding against the flow of traffic. When approached by officers, he made a U-turn and sped off at about 167kmh, exceeding the road’s speed limit of 50kmh.

    He was arrested at 3.20am at the junction of Yishun Avenue 1 and Seletar West Link.

    If convicted of dangerous driving, the motorcyclist faces a fine of up to S$3,000 or up to 12 months in jail for a first offence. For a second or subsequent conviction, he faces a fine of up to S$5,000, up to two years’ jail, or both.

    He also faces separate charges for failing to obey road signs and riding without headlamps.

    “Traffic Police takes a serious view of such dangerous road behaviour and will continue with our enforcement efforts to take such errant motorists to task,” the police said.

  • ‘Stealth Bikers’ Clamping Down On Traffic Offenders

    ‘Stealth Bikers’ Clamping Down On Traffic Offenders

    Motorists using mobile phones while driving, lorry drivers breaking speed limits and failing to keep left, and motorcyclists weaving across lanes recklessly – the Traffic Police’s (TP) latest enforcers have been catching them all.

    A video posted on the Use Your RoadSense Facebook page on Monday shows the TP’s Special Operations Team (SOT) on black “stealth bikes” as they clamped down on errant drivers, like a speeding motorcyclist going against the traffic flow.

    The two-minute clip has drawn over 300,000 views and more than 7,200 shares.

    “These ‘men in black’ look out for common traffic offences, such as driving while using the mobile phone, and ensure that motorists are ever-alert on the roads – a timely reminder not to #PokemonGo and drive,” the post said, referring to the popular Pokemon Go mobile game in which players catch virtual creatures using mobile devices.

    The Singapore Police Force, which shared the video on its Facebook page, said the traffic situation continues to show improvements in various areas, but a minority of road users endanger the lives of others.

    It added: “The TP will continue to take strict enforcement against such errant motorists even as we focus on education and enforcement efforts, reminding them that all road users have a role to play in keeping our roads safe.”

    Also called covert officers, the TP’s stealth bikers have been on the roads since June. Clad in black jackets, the officers ride black 900cc motorcycles that are more manoeuvrable and have proven effective in curbing errant motorcyclists.

    TP commander Sam Tee told The Straits Times that it was not easy for officers to go after motorcyclists in unmarked cars as they can lose sight of them in heavy traffic. In contrast, the “stealth bikes” are much more manoeuvrable.

    TP statistics show that last year, 4,875 motorcyclists and pillion riders were injured, a 5 per cent rise from 2014. This group also accounted for almost half of all road deaths last year – 72 out of a total of 152.

    In their first month of operations, TP’s stealth officers detected more than 700 violations.

    The SOT’s officer commanding, Assistant Superintendent Firdous Haniff, 30, said the unmarked motorbikes have proven effective and that foreign police forces, such as those in Australia, employ similar tactics.
