Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs): Why Are They Speeding Out Of Control? | Talking Point | Full Episode

Have you seen these devices whizzing past you lately? Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs) are in the spotlight as Singaporeans await tighter regulations next year. Why are people increasingly seen zipping around on these devices? How accessible are illegal PMAs, and who’s enforcing the rules? In this episode of Talking Point, Steven Chia zooms into the misuse of PMAs and who these people are, while uncovering the risks posed by speeding PMAs through a speed experiment. Steven also breaks down the confusion between PMAs, PMDs, and PABs, and meets an occupational therapist to find out how one could possibly qualify for a PMA next year. Finally, he sits down with a member of the Active Mobility Advisory Panel to ask the big question: Should able-bodied people be allowed to use PMAs if they do so responsibly?
