Why do Class 3C / 3CA licence apply to Work Permit and S-Pass holders only for conversion of foreign driving licence?
Work Permit and S-Pass holders tend to drive light good vehicles and small buses for work as part of their occupation. Traffic Police expect a greater duty of care from these drivers of Class 3 / 3A light goods vehicles and small buses. These drivers frequently ferry passengers and goods in the course of their work and drive larger vehicles like light good vehicles and small buses compared to regular family sedans.
Traffic Police has raised Class 3 licence conversion requirements for work-permit and S-pass holders as they form a significant proportion of drivers holding converted licence holders who caused accidents while driving such vehicles. It is important to ensure that such drivers are competent, and familiar with the culture of road use in Singapore.
