Drivers may soon need a different licence to get behind the wheel of a bigger, more powerful car.

The proposed changes, which may be modelled after the system for motorcyclists, whereby riders chalk up experience on smaller bikes before moving on to bigger ones, are believed to be part of a wider review on driving licences.

While it is too early to tell how the changes may affect drivers, one industry body backing such changes said on Monday that it was 'a timely move' as the issue of motorists' behaviour has been a hot topic since a fatal accident involving a Ferrari and ComfortDelGro taxi on May12.

A police spokesman confirmed on Monday that a review on driving licences was ongoing but was 'unable to share more details at this stage'.
