I saw one such pma got stuck by the bus railing. The driver havze to carry it

This big type usually fitted with 4 loudspeakers and can play o-bid Chinese pop songs very loudly while moving on the walkways. I saw once on train playing the Chinese songs and the driver tapping his toes to the tune of the irritating sound.

I have no beef with PMAs.  But I draw the line at cyclists zooming up sidewalks and walkways with wild abandon.

They can been seen cycling fast at walkways near the heartland wet markets, blithely ignoring stares from the old folks plodding along.  Even with signs that say “No cycling” in images and words.

Very poor enforcement by the authorities, as usual. Around the vicinities of Toa Payoh Blk 62 wet market is one such area.

Need to wait for one accident involving colliding with boomer or child then they will wake up.

A matter of time it gets exploded and burns down the house. Why that stomper so impatient?

Agree, I have close encounters with them many times during my daily runs.

Although some users genuinely need a four wheel-PMA, many can actually walk but because they can afford it, they buy one so they don't need to walk so much.  

Unlike walking where you have to manoeuvre around a crowd of peepur, you always have the way when on a pma because peepur will give way to you when your weapon is zooming towards them.  So that's a second good thing about rising a pma. 

You walk less, you have the Ta...I mean the WAY.

I ever saw one fat  family of 4 , one riding one each on side walk..

it is so common mowaday that able body using PMA instead of motorbike cos no need COE, no ERP, no parking charges.

The PMA got stuck due to bad driving skills? The rider should unstuck it himself.

[starbugs]

Maybe some PMAs also need COE. Huge-ass ones pay for COE. Small ones exempt.

ALL need COE unless medically certified by panel of 3 drs.

PMA is certainly being abused by ppl I am sure. Rules should be toughen say only when the leg get chopped off no leg then qualify. This one cannot keng liao lor. Those still got legs may keng unless they chop it off to qualify? A bit drastic measure but it should work well so ppl want to abuse think twice since they need to chop off their legs if wanna keng.

That case is different. You know of ancient China Emperor dynasty system? If you know then the result is normal from this issue.

Why can't he just drive along the road leh?   Just make him wear helmet lah!

May be he wanted to go from Bukit Merah to Jurong East. If he drive his PMD it might run out of battery at Clementi and kena stuck there. Then how? ....

[revealer]

The purpose of able persons to own and ride PMA is just to show off. They are just too lazy to walk. Actually, they are forcing themselves to become "disabled people" sooner than those who prefer to walk and exercise every day. They will know when they get older. Owning a car will reduce one's chance to exercise, owning a PMA is even worst.

LTA refuses to make proper regulations for this.

many are using this as replacement for car

another thing - obesity is NOT a disability..
