Clause 65

No competition or trial of speed involving the use of vehicles shall take place on a road without the written approval of the Minister. Any such written approval may be made subject to such conditions to be specified therein as the Minister may deem fit to impose.

For the purpose of any duly approved competition or trial of speed, the Minister may, by order published in the Gazette, regulate or restrict or prohibit to such extent and subject to such conditions or exceptions as may be specified therein the use of a road or any part thereof. No such order shall be made, unless not less than seven days before the making thereof, a notice of intention to make the order, specifying its general nature and describing alternative routes, if any, available for traffic, animals and pedestrians, has been published by the Minister in one or more newspapers which circulate in Singapore. So long as any order made under this subsection remains in force, a notice stating the effect of the order and describing any alternative routes available for traffic, animals or pedestrians shall be kept posted in a conspicuous manner at each end of the part of the road to which the order relates and at the points at which it will be necessary for traffic, animals or pedestrians to diverge from the road. The cost of every such notice and publication shall be paid in advance to the Minister by the person promoting the competition or trial of speed.

Any person who promotes or takes part in any competition or trial of speed which has not been duly approved in accordance with this section and any driver or person in charge of any vehicle or animal or any pedestrian who contravenes the provisions of an order duly made under this section shall be guilty of an offence under this Ordinance.
