✦AI Summary
Singapore is tightening its demerit point system for motorists starting January 1, 2027, by lowering the threshold for license suspension. The move aims to curb rising road fatalities and injuries by imposing stricter penalties and longer suspension periods for traffic violations.
Under this new regime, a non-probationary motorist who beats a red light (12 points) while speeding (six points) will be suspended immediately.
