Is it any wonder that insurers charge such high premiums for young drivers?

If SG has more drivers, there will be more people wanting to buy cars, so there will be more $$$ flowing into the govt's coffers from the COE premiums which they control.

Once Singaporeans surrendered their car ownership, all these car crash and car burn will end.

Nobody is born to own a vehicle also.

The enormous cost of buying and maintaining a private vehicle has only forced marginal car owners to give up driving. Judging by our congested roads, many motorists are still loathe to giving up their set of wheels. The govt cannot put a price on convenience; it all boils down to affordability.
