Here are a couple of suggestions that may not be as far-fetched as they seem.

When I was in Singapore in a taxi many years ago, the taxi driver told me there was a speed mechanism in the engine that prevented the car from speeding, installed by the government.

We could try that. Limit the speed to 80 kilometres per hour.

Secondly, the use of drones too can be useful.

I guess this is expecting too much since both the Police and Land Transport Authority (LTA) acknowledged the lack of speed cameras and traffic officers.

Presumably, the lack is due to funding difficulties. So, perhaps these good ideas may likely not be implemented
