      Thing is I saw all those food panda, grab and normal pmd users just ride past them without saying anything also, if they spoke up instead of keeping quiet, then there might be less accidents and the ban might not come, at least not so soon.

    Maybe special license for food delivery thru the company they deliver for, but not the rest and license only applicable only when they use the escooter for delivery. This way authority know who are the authorised escooter users vs errant riders. Of course if the authorised user break the rule by speeding and riding irresponsibly or dangerously, normal ban and punishments will apply on them. This is to ensure the ssfety of the majority of the population (99% ?)

      JulzCentral you see the thing is, when people are given something nice, majority of it take advantage of it. Don’t get me wrong, not everybody is speeding, but almost 80% of all the foodpanda/grabfood are speeding. And some of them even stare at us, like it’s not our road to walk. And I’m not saying 1-2 I’m saying more than 30 riders I’ve seen staring at us. I understand some people follow the rules, but look at ofo, we get something good but because of the few rotten Apples, we lost everything that’s good.

    When the delivery guy earns more money with their PMD, they don't complain, but then complain when it's back to the supposed normal earning rate.
    Just get a bicycle and then it also promotes exercise lol good for everyone and not as bulky blocking most of the path
    If only from the start youngsters don't be so reckless and all and for the sake of trill, and attitude problem say on foot paths they horn you then ask you make way for them where they should be the ones making way for pedestrians.
    So many warnings have been given previously but apparently PMD riders didn't care, which is why the number of accidents have been increasing as well as unhappiness that arise from pedestrians.
    But I understand that some people need it for the job, so maybe for food delivery companies, all their PMD riders have to get a special licence just like normal car/motorbike licence that only when one meet the age and health criteria can they take the theory and practical test only then will they be allowed to ride their PMDs on foot paths. ONLY FOR FOOD DELIVERY RIDERS.
    The normal PMD riders should just stay on their park connectors or bicycle path lol since they don't need it and should not be so lazy and bring additional inconvenience to others.

      I doubt many would continue this job if require to ride bicycle. Not many want to or can. Remember the time when there is no escooter, not many took up this delivery job with their bicycle? I think maybe there will be a special licence given to delivery rider and they need take stringent test get insurance etc so that they have job but at the same time prevent irresponsible riders.

    A guy who looked like the guy who aired frustrations about Tpt minister. He jam break bicycle almost hit me couple of days ago and even shouted at me to call the police saying he never hit me so what. This was under 5 foot way. If I have weak heart sure die from shock. These guys turn into overnight gangsters esp targeting weak elderly like myself. In the past I did send photo to delivery company but they said they have many riders so it’s hard to know which rider even though timing and location is provided. So where is the corporate social responsibility?

  • @vpeace9628

    I am not a rider but I feel sorry for those who need this for their work. I think the introduction of eScooters into Singapore could be better handled. If more thoughts were given to this, perhaps the introduction could have been delayed till infrastructure is ready and people may not have then bought an eScooter. I was curious and looked at the UL2272 compliance, given the limited testing is not a sure-proved way to Ensure an eScooter in used will not catch fire.

    • @jun5836
      @jun5836 4 года назад

      Well there are errant and irresponsible riders that endanger pedestrians, therefore this ban was implemented, but I have to admit it was a bit sudden and harsh. Unfortunately you can only speak for yourself in terms of how you ride but you cannot speak for all the PMD riders who ride irresponsibly, the ones that caused the ban in the first place.

    • @jun5836
      @jun5836 4 года назад

      I believe ban was implemented due to complaints from citizens as well, as the government would not have taken such an action if there was no reason to do so in the first place. I think they could only either restrict accessibility of buying PMDs or ban them on footpaths, but banning them would require less manpower and work

      @KhairulAnwar-pk9rw 4 года назад

      Tan Jun Siang what happen to all the police who like to go around screening ah peks and people hanging out in groups . We have more than enough manpower if you include aetos and cisco to go out and monitor those errant driver instead of sitting down at the police post . When it’s time for those who like to go out and do checks to step up they went missing . First you have to catch this errant driver and punish them . If it doesn’t work , then you can justify the ban despite it will hurt people’s rice bowl . To catch errant rider and punish them only after an accident happen is not catching . It’s a reaction not an action by the enforcement . Its a lazy decision by the government . The easy way out .

    This ban will be effective and beneficial.Not only there will be fewer accidents on pathways but also lesser fires due to PMDs.Therw are other forms of transport like bicycle or other jobs that are easy.The government is just thinking what's best for the whole country. Majority supports this ban and obviously there will be people who will not support. This ban is an eye opener for people because due to PMDs there have been many fatal accidents. Hope this ban would reduce all the accidents.

    • @easycook9422
      @easycook9422 4 года назад

      And most of the affected riders who don't agree are with food delivery services. It's nice to see startups making disruptions and bringing new services into our community. However, safety for everyone is still tantamount and it's nice to see a government that works and creating new regulations to keep up.

  • @ttakashii8273

    the thing is UL2272 e scooters cannot speed because the max speed is already KEPT at 25km/h,most of the accidents are caused by non ul2272...if you want ban you should ban non ul2272 scooters instead..

  • @bt2925
    @bt2925 4 года назад

    T&C for e scooter in 🇸🇬. 1. Pass basic theory Highway code 2. Test on pedestrian path driving safety course. 3. E scooter premium insurance mandatory when register an e scooter. 4. Demerit point - max 12 points allow per annual. 5. Fine amount equivalent to motorcycle class. 6. Head gear and all safety gears are compulsory. Once you've achieved this level, pedestrians have confidence that e scooter rider understand how to engag safety in sharing pathways. Dude, there is a price to get a class 2 driving license, therefore, for the sake of others, don't complain, just seek the LTA to help and comply to what is required by law, I believe they can add one division in class 2 catergory, eg: 2e class, not more than.......... It is just a suggestion to PMD riders, if there are reasonable propose terms you may write to LTA. It might be rejected in the beginning, just keep trying harder instead of complaining in the media about losing your income.

    Perhaps they should control PMDs like cars. Visible plates (so you can take foto), compulsory individual license tied to their NRIC and mandatory lessons and exam. Restrict licenses only to immobile and delivery workers (for everyone else, really no need). Revoke licenses if there is any breach of the law. That way people who need it for work can still work, and will be careful about risking their rice bowl.

    Food delivery companies rely of food delivered as quick as possible, so the riders have need and incentive to ride as fast as possible, which presents a danger to an unsuspecting public. A complete bans seems over the top, so how to reduce the speed and stop riding dangerously? Or is it required to wait for a serious accident to occur before something is done? I hope a safe compromise can be found as the those riders need the money that it brings to them.

    It agree with dayy logg. Before E scooters existed, deliveries were by motorcycles or vans and it worked. So it might make sense to return to those means of transport, so everyone is happy. I witnessed once a e-scooter coming in the direction of the traffic. Think the problem is those on e-scooter feels the scooter is not big, hence they can 'squeeze' between traffic and did not realise that this can be just as dangerous to them as it would to the other road users.

    They should ban racing cyclist instead.
    Really nuisance to road user.early morning where many vehicle headed to work.where they busy convoi use one or even two lane on road.with highlight beam on which really annoying to on road driver user.
    As i understand this rider racing cyclis thier profession some businessman,doctors,even lawyers and some even gansters.
    can b allowed on road.....
    Previously news talk about all this sport cyclist....act like gansters on road bully.
    After that.....news gone....
    If pmds cannot allowed on walk pavement which can b share,so where can we pmds rider can ride.? On air????or inside te dry drain...?this padestrian even don care when pmds rider alerted them.they just ignore with thier hp,busy with games.while many walk on paveway,they just purposely taking space....goverment urge us to share paveway,but just because incident happen by this stupid ah beng,ah lian,Ali,or samy,most of us rider become affected.our goverment should apply age limit eg.only above 21yrs or can b holder of motor vehicle licence.And officers frm LTA.they can easily stop them if suspect pmds modification,speeding at one point.
    This pmds worth hundred to thousand of dollars.and some..not even finish with thier instalment plan....
    Our goverment want us to use bicycle,yes...its true,even bicycle is allowed to use on road.
    Today we buy bicycle,te next few days park with a big lock chain also can gone..
    Pls goverment,pls reconsider with te ban here ban there...too many laws,make us more stresssss to stay in own country.
    Who does not want our red dot to be always safe....
    Pls all riders,ride with safe,always b alert to our old generation,passerby,with respect,and don feel hasitate to say sorry or tkn u for giving us way.
    May our goverment listen to our appeal and pls reconsider and for everyone fairness.
