A bus driver fails to stay in his lane and swipes the side of a Mitsubishi Eclipse.

The video starts with the cam car approaching a traffic junction as he drives down MacPherson road. 

The driver promptly stops right behind a green SMRT bus in the middle lane. On the right lane, a red Mitsubishi Eclipse patiently waits for the green arrow indicator to light up.

As the light turns green, both the bus and Eclipse start to move forward into the junction.

The bus then makes its right turn, cutting into the path of the red Eclipse.

Upset that he is unable to make his turn, the driver of the car proceeds to spam the horn at the bus, which sounds a lot like a proximity sensor.

The bus driver adamantly continues to make the turn, which led to the gigantic vehicle swiping the left side of the Eclipse.

The video ends with the red car finally making its turn.

Reckless bus drivers

Earlier this year, an SBS bus driver almost collided with another driver after making a reckless right turn at Piccadilly Junction.

The driver was going through the junction as the traffic light turns amber. 

Instead of stopping, the bus suddenly makes a right turn, causing the driver to swerve out of the way.

While Singapore has seen its fair share of bus drivers driving recklessly, this incident raises an important question.

Are our current training routines and regulations sufficient for bus drivers or should there be more implemented?

PHVs turn as if they are driving a bus using a very big turn

and bus drivers drive as if they driving a PHVs cut into the next lane.

:D

They need to switch jobs.

New gen of bus drivers suck at driving. Turning too early exactly like a lot of the new gen of drivers do.

  • A Volkswagen Jetta's need for speed leads to a dangerous collision after beating a red light

    You’d think after we’ve written so many posts about drivers running red lights and failing there’d be fewer cases. This is why you guys should share our articles so that your friends will be made aware of the consequences of driving recklessly (i.e, being our next post)! What happened? A Volkswagen Jetta tried to run a red light after failing to give way to a red MPV that I believe is  a Honda Stream. Don’t quote me on that second one though. The footage shows the Jetta speed

    Maserati GranTurismo S unable to outrun a Nissan NV200 on the KJE

    TL;DR – A Nissan NV200 and a Maserati GranTurismo S were caught on camera racing one another along the KJE. However, the race did not go as one would have expected. The Maserati GranTurismo S is a beautiful car. Image credit: Google It’s a 4.7L car housing a V8 engine that pushes 400+ horsepower. We’re talking 0 to 100km/hr in about 4 seconds! But yet, in this 47-second video, you can see how it loses to a Nissan NV200 (a van). What happened? The

    Malaysian officer at JB checkpoint gets some easy money from drivers who like to take shortcuts

    TL;DR – A video uploaded on SGRV shows a Malaysian traffic enforcer casually strolling along the long queue of cars at the JB checkpoint and collecting what looks like money from cars travelling on the motorcycle lane. Now, that's easy money! We all like to take shortcuts now and then. I'm guilty of it myself occasionally. There are some shortcuts in life one should never take. This is one of them. OR IS IT? Watch the 42-second video and make that decision for yourself.
