Nobody wants to deal with traffic violations, but what happens when you're driving a leased EV and receive a penalty notice? Who pays the fine? Does it affect the leasing agreement? Understanding how violations are handled can help EV lessees in Singapore avoid unnecessary hassle and penalties.
At EVFY, we believe in seamless and hassle-free EV leasing, ensuring our customers experience maximum convenience—including when it comes to managing traffic-related issues.
TL;DR (Key Takeaways)
The driver is responsible for paying fines and handling penalties for traffic violations committed in a leased EV.
EVFY ensures fast notification so lessees can resolve violations without delays.
Some offenses incur demerit points, affecting the driver’s record, not the leasing company.
EVFY offers clear guidance to help customers pay fines efficiently while avoiding hidden fees.
Choosing a reliable EV leasing provider ensures smooth handling of violations while providing exclusive benefits like extended maintenance and premium EV models.
Who Is Responsible for Traffic Violations in a Leased EV?
One of the most common concerns for EV lessees is liability. Who takes responsibility when a leased vehicle is caught violating traffic laws? The answer is straightforward:
The driver who committed the violation is responsible.
The leasing company receives the initial notice because the vehicle is registered under them, but they promptly forward it to the lessee.
Failure to settle the fine on time could lead to additional penalties, including potential suspension from leasing agreements.
At EVFY, we believe in full transparency when handling traffic notices. That’s why our system ensures customers receive instant notifications, helping them settle fines efficiently without hidden fees or confusion.
What Happens When a Traffic Violation Notice Is Issued?
If an EV leased from EVFY is caught violating Singapore’s traffic laws, here’s what happens:
The Violation Is Recorded
Singapore’s automated enforcement systems capture violations such as speeding, illegal parking, and running red lights.
If the EV is leased, the notice is first sent to the leasing company.
EVFY Notifies the Driver
EVFY forwards the penalty notice to the lessee immediately.
Customers receive clear instructions on payment deadlines, appeal options, and potential consequences.
The Lessee Pays the Fine
The driver must settle the violation directly with the relevant authorities.
Some leasing companies charge additional administrative fees for processing these notices. EVFY ensures upfront clarity with no hidden costs.
Demerit Points (If Applicable)
Certain offenses in Singapore, like speeding or reckless driving, come with demerit points.
These points apply to the driver, affecting their personal driving record—not the leasing company’s.
