Findings n Main factors influencing driving behaviour in the past 12 months (taking top 5 ranking): n Consequences of getting caught for breaking traffic rules and regulations u 60% by the possibility of getting demerit points on their driving license, u 59% influenced by installation of speed / safety cameras on roads u 52% mentioned stricter law enforcements on the roadway n Greater awareness of personal safety (51%) and safety of others (40%) Page 7

Findings n In terms of understanding safety rules: n Speed limits: u On expressways: è There are 66% of drivers who know the actual speed limit (90 km/h). u On normal road without speed limit signs: è Only 1 in 4 drivers know the actual speed limit; the rest misperceived it as a faster speed above 50 km/h n Alcohol Legal limit: u Singapore drivers are more prudent - For those who know, 14% stated the correct alcohol limit (>35 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of breath) and 75% stated a limit that is lower than that Page 8

Awareness of Speed Limits Speed limit on Expressways Most are aware of actual speed limit on expressways Q 16 a. With respect to speed limits, can you tell me what the legal speed limit is on most of our expressways? Page 22
