We often see errant cyclist or PMD riders on the road but a motorised wheelchair going at high speeds is something we don’t see everyday
According to SG Road Vigilante, a Grabfood motorised wheelchair was seen going highspeed at 50km/hour along Senkang East way on April 10 2205 HRS.
Netizens say wheelchair no COE
Netizens were poking fun at the recent $99,999 COE prices saying:
- This one cheaper no need pay road tax, insurance etc
- No wonder this appear.
- They see me rollin’…… they hatin’…….
- When a wheelchair go faster than a bus lol!
- He uses a wheelchair with a motor attachment to the front of the wheelchair. That is definitely not legal.
