Cyclists pay no heed to traffic and blocks entire lane at West Coast Highway

TL;DR - Cyclists blocked the entire lane at West Coast highway and failed to conform to red light.  Agree to disagree: Cyclists are the true king of the road.  Watch this 57-second video to see what I mean.  What happened?  The peloton were seen taking up the lane at West Coast highway and failed to conform to traffic regulations by beating the red light.  This seems to be a norm amongst cyclists in Singapore - to gather in large groups and cycle on the roads.

TL;DR – A Mitsubishi Lancer and a Volkswagen Scirocco were caught on camera speeding along the CTE and overtaking other vehicles using the road shoulder. Unfortunately for one of the two idiots, one of them hit a BMW X3 in the process and went full turtle, causing a 2-hour long jam in its wake.   Lancerlution – It’s the term people use to refer to Mitsubishi Lancers trying their best to be EVOs (like this gum gong gia or a Lancer driver) Multiple angles of this incident

This Qashqai driver breaks the stereotype that females are worse drivers than males. Here’s why!

TL;DR - A near-miss accident as a Nissan Qashqai driver forgets to engage the handbrake before switching drivers.  As a female driver myself, I do not conform to both the stereotypes: 1. Female drivers are bad drivers  2. Females do not drive as well as males  This incident debunks the tropes.  Watch this 86-second video to see how this male driver conveniently leaves the car without engaging the handbrake, causing the car to roll backwards.  So what happened?

A white, plateless BMW abruptly cuts into the fast lane and does a classic hit-and-run on a road hogging Vezel

TL;DR – The owner of a Honda Vezel desperately seeks witnesses or video evidence of a white BMW cutting into his lane and hitting his car, causing an accident in its wake. Unfortunately, the uploaded footage did not catch the BMW’s licence plate.   I find it a little strange that the dash cam did not get the license plate. Watch this short 17-second video to see whether you find it strange as well What happened? Quoted straight from the SGRV Post Video g

‘Kan Cheong Spider’ blindly drives into yellow junction box onto incoming traffic

TL;DR - A collision occurred in Yishun between a Kia Forte and Honda Vezel at the yellow junction box.  Every Singaporean would know what it means to be kan cheong. We are basically born to sweat ‘kiasu-ness’.  For our foreign friends, kan cheong simply means impatient, edgy and hasty. So a kan cheong spider just refers to someone who possesses such traits.  Watch this 51-second video of a Honda Vezel colliding into a Kia Forte as it drives out from a minor road straight into the

Bentley with a 'huat' carplate drives against the flow of traffic on the CTE

TL;DR - Bentley driver was caught driving against the flow of traffic, leaving traces of leaked fuel. He was eventually arrested after police reports were made.  There's just endless outrageous/appalling road incidents in Singapore.

One 'chiong', all follow suit.  But this accident is quite a rare occurrenc

Lorry fails to conform to red light and t-boned car at a discretionary right turn along Yio Chu Kang

TL;DR - Lorry collided into an oncoming car who was making a discretionary right turn at the junction of Yio Chu Kang and Buangkok Green.  Every road user should know that discretionary right turns are the cause of many road accidents in Singapore. Hence, why they are being slowly phased out. But, back to discretionary right turns. Just watch this 69-second shocker to see what I mean.  So, what happened?  The car was making a discretionary right turn and failed to notice

A taxi and a Toyota Corolla Altis travel on the fast lane of the causeway, but only one gets caught by the Malaysian police?

TL:DR – A Singaporean-registered Altis and a Trans cab travel on the fast lane of the causeway, but only the Altis gets apprehended by the Malaysian police.   There are no shortcuts in life.

You might get away with it, and you might not. Just like these two vehicles in the 43-second video below.

IS IT TIME TO CONSIDER THE SWITCH TO EVS?

Switching to an electric car gives you a smoother, emission-free drive. Much has changed since electric cars entered the scene about a decade ago. Back then, the thought of owning - or even driving - an electric car was a remote one, with few electric vehicles (EVs) and charging points available. Spotting one in public was like sighting a unicorn. Today, the EV landscape has totally transformed, with practically every brand producing EVs. They even come in a range of models - from seda

MY-registered Alphard cuts the queue at JB checkpoint and gets scratched. Driver seeking compensation.

TL;DR - A Malaysian-registered Toyota Alphard jumped in line and forced its way into a jam-packed lane at JB Checkpoint, causing his car to get scratched. The driver then demanded the cam car for compensation sparking an argument between both drivers. The New Year long weekend means more cars stuck at the causeway for a long time. But, that also means tempers will rise and the chances of a mishap occurring increases. To be honest, I would be surprised if the weekend went by without incident
