Since 2018, LTA has been testing the new distance-based satellite ERP system which will replace the existing gantry systems which charges a flat rate. The new system will track and charge motorists based on distance.

LTA should seriously reduce the number of heavy and commercial vehicles and also stop the growth of these vehicles until majority of them are due for de-registration! Stop making us car and bike owners suffer! We need a car or bike because its too time consuming to travel around Singapore!

I am very pissed with the LTA's move to make car growth to 0% with effect from next year! Have they ever thought of why are people buying cars?

3 cars were damaged in a fire this morning at a Toa Payoh carpark as a man was trying to charge his car batteries with jumper cables. Thankfully, nobody was injured.

Two double decker bus sandwiched a car in an accident that occurred at Dunearn Road on Monday morning, in what was a multi vehicle pile up, in which two buses and three cars were involved. SCDF was alerted to the accident at 8:40 am, and reported that a 64 year old male driver was taken to hospital conscious.

The Marsiling-Yew Tee Town Council said they were alerted to the incident at 5:55 am and immediately sent their horticulture team to ascertain the damage. It was reiterated that no one was injured, as there was no one in any of the vehicles. The Town Council reported that the tree is more than 30 years old, but the last inspection done this month had shown it was healthy.

I began driving for uber as a partner in August last year in hopes of earning a side income to pay for my university fees. I'm not currently an uber partner anymore. As with most uber partners, I rented a car from a company called LCR. Unfortunately, I was involved in an accident along Upper Bukit Timah road on 11 July (see attached pictures for reference). It was involving my car and a Comfort taxi.

I have been commuting regularly by Grab and Uber cars for the past 11/2 years and have found that some of these vehicles, especially the older rented ones, tend to emit a musty smell from the air-conditioners. When I brought up the issue with some of the drivers, I was informed that the filters in the air-conditioners have gone mouldy as a result of poor maintenance. Some of the drivers resorted to using air fresheners, but this does not get to the root of the problem. As a safety precaution, I can only wind down the windows. The inhalation of mould particles is bad for health, regardless of whether the driver or passenger is asthmatic. In fact, it will be worse for an asthmatic person. Having also commuted by taxis for many years, I must say that taxi companies here do a good job in maintaining the overall condition of their fleets. It is time private-hire car companies strove to do better in terms of the overall cleanliness - particularly the air quality - of their cars.

I came across this Malaysian taking photos of Singaporean vehicles driving along the emergency lane of Malaysian North South highway.

According to observant netizens, who checked on the model of this overturned vehicle at Newton Road, the vehicle Chassis number RU11116999 is one of the affected models in the Honda Vezel recall in Japan!
