## How this works
Fines and points are from the Singapore Police Force's list of offences with demerit points and composition fines (page updated 23 July 2026). Light vehicles are Class 2B, 2A, 2, 3C, 3, 3CA and 3A (cars, motorcycles, light vans); heavy vehicles are Class 4, 4A, 4P, 4AP, 5 and 5P (lorries, buses, tractors, trailers). Speeding up to 20 km/h over the limit is 6 points and S$200 (S$250 heavy), 21 to 30 km/h over is 8 points and S$300 (S$400), 31 to 40 km/h over is 12 points and S$400 (S$500). Above 40 km/h over, the case goes to court.

Offences marked as endangering pedestrians carry 2 extra demerit points and S$100 more when committed in a School Zone, Silver Zone or Friendly Streets, with the fine capped at S$500. A composition fine is an offer: Traffic Police can still prosecute in court, where the full penalties apply.

Under the Driver Improvement Points System in force until 31 December 2026, an experienced driver is suspended at 24 points within 24 months (12 weeks for a first suspension), at 12 points within 12 months after a previous suspension (24 weeks), and a new driver's licence is revoked at 13 points within the one-year probation. Points are cleared after 12 months without an offence.

From 1 January 2027, the threshold drops to 18 points within 24 months and the first suspension lengthens to four months; probationary licences are revoked at 12 points; 24-point offences become 18 points. On that date, up to 6 points (1 point for probationary drivers) are deducted once from existing balances. The tracker lets you switch between the two sets of rules.

## FAQs
### What is the fine for speeding in Singapore?
For a car, speeding up to 20 km/h over the limit is S$200 and 6 demerit points; 21 to 30 km/h over is S$300 and 8 points; 31 to 40 km/h over is S$400 and 12 points. Heavy vehicles pay S$250, S$400 and S$500. More than 40 km/h over means prosecution in court and 18 or 24 points.

### How many demerit points before suspension in Singapore?
24 points within 24 months for an experienced driver until 31 December 2026, dropping to 18 points from 1 January 2027. A driver who has been suspended before is suspended again at 12 points within 12 months. New drivers on probation lose their licence at 13 points (12 points from 2027).

### What is the fine for using a phone while driving?
S$400 and 12 demerit points for a car (S$500 for a heavy vehicle). The same applies to running a red light. In a School Zone or Silver Zone it is 14 points and S$500.

### What is the drink-driving limit in Singapore?
35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 ml of breath, or 80 mg per 100 ml of blood. Drink driving is not compounded: a first offender faces up to 1 year in jail and/or a fine of S$2,000 to S$10,000, and disqualification for at least 2 years.

### When do demerit points expire?
Demerit points are removed if you commit no traffic offence for 12 months from your last offence. Past suspensions are removed from your record after 24 months without an offence.
