Youths ride PMDs on road and vape openly along Boon Lay Way
A group of youths were caught on video riding personal mobility devices (PMDs) on the road and vaping in full view of motorists.
Stompers Lee and Anonymous alerted Stomp to a video posted on Beh Chia Lor - Singapore Road's Facebook page, showing four young men on PMDs waiting behind a vehicle at Boon Lay Way on July 2.
None of them is wearing a helmet.
In the clip, one of the riders is seen sneaking his e-vaporiser out of his hoodie's pocket to take a puff.
The caption reads: "Please remember both riding PMDs on the road and vaping are illegal."
Under the Active Mobility Act, PMDs are not allowed on the road and should only be used on cycling and shared paths. Offenders can be fined up to $2,000 and get up to three months' jail.
Those found guilty of possessing, using or buying e-vaporisers can be fined up to $2,000.
