Drink Driving & Road Traffic

Drink driving and road traffic offences in Singapore — drink-driving, dangerous and careless driving, penalties, disqualification and defences.

Road traffic offences range from drink driving and driving under the influence of drugs to dangerous, careless and inconsiderate driving. In Singapore these charges are taken seriously, and a conviction can affect not only your record but your ability to drive.

These guides explain the common road traffic charges: what the prosecution must establish, how disqualification and other consequences are approached, the defences that may apply, and how the process works from the roadside to court. If you are facing an allegation arising from driving, acting early — and before making any admission — can matter a great deal. Speak to a criminal lawyer to understand your position and the options open to you.
