Motorists caught driving above the speed limit, driving a vehicle with a tampered speed limiter and/or driving without the use of a seat belt, face a fine of up to $1,000 or a jail term of up to three months, or both, for each offence.

Repeat offenders may be punished with a fine of up to $2,000 or imprisonment of up to six months, or both, for each offence.

The Traffic Police said it will be stepping up enforcement actions to deter and detect motorists who tamper with speed limiters, The Straits Times reported.
