Under regulation 9(2)(a) of Cap. 374Q, a motor vehicle may stop or remain at rest on the carriageway of an expressway due to lack of fuel, oil or water required for the vehicle. EVs are propelled by electric motors with electricity stored in their batteries and electricity is not classified as fuel used by a motor vehicle. It is therefore proposed to amend regulation 9(2)(a) to cater for a situation where EVs may be forced to stop or remain at rest on an expressway by reason of lack of electricity.
Offenders are liable on first conviction to a fine of $5000 and imprisonment for 3 months and on second or subsequent conviction to a fine of $10000 and imprisonment for 6 months.
Nice that they noticed it and plan to change the law...
