LTA withdraws warning letter to taxi driver for not searching vehicle for items left behind by passengers

SINGAPORE — The Land Transport Authority has withdrawn a warning letter that it had earlier issued to a driver for failing to search his vehicle for property accidentally left behind by a passenger.Member of Parliament Yeo Wan Ling, who is an advisor to the National Taxi Association and National Private Hire Vehicles Association , revealed LTA's decision in a Facebook post on Friday .

Facebook user Ong Boon had posted a photograph of the warning letter on Oct 26. The post stated that the driver had made an appeal against the warning to LTA through Member of Parliament Tin Pei Ling on Oct 11. She added that the two associations, as well as the National Trades Union Congress believe that the safety of drivers must be a top priority and their work conditions often do not allow drivers to search for items accidentally left behind by passengers safely and effectively.

Ms Yeo noted that LTA had clarified that this is a long-standing rule, and serves as a good practice on the part of the driver.
