SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Singapore Police Force (SPF) impounded 91 deregistered vehicles during a joint islandwide enforcement operation in September.
The vehicles were being used without valid Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) or road tax, the authorities said in a joint statement on Monday (Oct 5).
“The use of deregistered vehicles poses a serious road safety risk as they are neither roadworthy nor have valid insurance,” they added.
In response to CNA's queries, LTA said on Monday that of the 91 deregistered vehicles impounded, 76 were found to be kept and 15 were found to be used.
