Traffic accidents dropped 9.5% in 2012

But more traffic violations reported.

Singapore Police Force reports that there were 7,168 fatal and injury accidents in 2012, a decrease of 758 cases from 7,926 cases in 2011.

The fatal and injury accident rate (normalised against 10,000 vehicle population) dropped from 83.32 in 2011 to 74.27 in 2012.

Despite last year’s drop in the fatal and injury accidents, there is still a significant number of deaths on our roads.

"The increase in the number of traffic violations remains a concern as every traffic violation can potentially result in a fatal or injury accident and the loss of lives," said Singapore Police Force.

The total number of traffic violations registered an increase of 3.6% in 2012 from 316,214 to 327,503 violations.

Of particular interest is the continued increase in the number of speeding and red-running violations from 2010 to 2012.

"These violations have the potential to cause greater harm to the violator as well as other road users around them"

Speeding violations and red-running detected rose 8.5% to 244,806 and 1.2% to 17,705.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
