"The offence of drink driving under the Road Traffic Act today is a jail term of up to 12 months, a fine between S$2,000 and S$10,000 (US$1,500 and US$7,400), or both for a first-time offender.
They will also be banned from driving for at least two years.
Repeat offenders face a jail term of up to two years, a fine between S$5,000 and S$20,000, and a five-year driving ban.
Ms A Meenakshi, an associate at IRB Law, said the penalties for drink driving have become harsher over the years.
In particular, she pointed to the 2019 amendments to the Road Traffic Act, which increased the maximum fine and imprisonment term for drink driving."

Anything that we can't solve, and when fines are taken as a joke, death is the penalty.
Let people decide or take their chances.
