Punishment for Drink Driving in Singapore

Singapore Laws

Drink Driving

A serious offence in Singapore.
The law states that if you have more than 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 milliliters in your breath, or more than 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters in your blood, you would have broken the law.
And that if you do not have proper control of the vehicle, even if your alcohol level is under this limit, you are still convictable (obvious, isn’t it?).
Recently the court sentenced a man for aggravated drink-driving despite the fact that the vehicle he was “driving” was a Segway.)

A first-time offender will be fined between S$1000 and S$5000 or six months imprisonment.
A second-time offender will be fined between $3000 and $10,000 and imprisonment for a term of up to one year.
A repeated offender will face up to 3 times the penalty, a maximum of $30,000 fine and three years’ imprisonment.
All those convicted will be disqualified from driving for at least 1 year.

Offenders causing death or serious injuries may be caned up to 6 strokes.
