Altis driver gets overtaken by cyclists and attempts to run them down in embarrassment

Altis driver gets overtaken by cyclists and attempts to run them down in embarrassment

I understand that not all drivers and cyclists get along, but isn't it better to give way than to endanger the lives of others when you're in the wrong?

On Saturday (March 12) night, two or three cyclists and the cam car driver were cruising down a road in Yishun when they encountered the reckless driver.

As the group went by a petrol station, they spotted the Toyota Altis turning out.

After failing to give way to the cyclists and the cam car, the Altis immediately brakes after it turns out.

This scares the cyclists, who swerved to avoid a head-on collision with the thoughtless driver.

They could also be heard yelling 'Oi' at the driver in the video, which provoked him even more.

Continuing on their route, both cyclists and the cam car sped up and overtook the car.

The cyclists then looked back to check on the location of the raging driver as they hurriedly peddled.

This upsets the Altis driver, who immediately sped up and recklessly merged into their lane - just to step on his brakes.

His pride must have been seriously hurt as the cyclists deftly avoided his attacks, resulting in a second attempt to block them (and almost running one of the cyclists over).

The way the driver tries to get the cyclists reminds me of a classic Tom and Jerry scene.

The video ends with the Toyota Altis turning left and exiting the road.

Netizens' reactions

Netizens were divided on placing blame after watching this video. Some condoned the driver's reckless actions while others condoned the way the cyclists were cycling on the road.

While watching the video, it is possible that the cyclists provoked the driver by shouting at him for not giving way to them.

Yep, I think the blame is 50/50. While the cyclists were quite rude (and took up the entire lane after overtaking), the driver endangered the lives of everybody when he played his petty games.

At the end of the day, the moral of the story is that no matter whether we are drivers or cyclists, we all need to show some compassion and be gracious while on the road.

  • Manchester United's "promising" transfer window should be taken with a pinch of salt

    Having followed this club for more than 20 years, I'm well aware that a promising transfer window does not directly equate to an improved season. Forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, as well as Diego Leon, the young Paraguayan wing-back, have been Manchester United's signings for the 2025 summer transfer window so far. On paper, this team should have no problem challenging for silverware. On the pitch, the current crop of players finished 15th last season. While both Cunha and Mbeumo ha

    Your next action film recommendation: Battle Los Angeles

    I’ve always held a keen interest in the armies of the world, the wars that raged, and the weapons used. Therefore, I usually appreciate a movie (preferably an action film) if there’s an army element and lots and lots of bullets involved. Well, Battle Los Angeles (2011) doesn’t disappoint. With explosive battles and intense drama, you find yourself rooting for a group of resilient Marines tasked with defending Los Angeles from an alien invasion force. And yes, it’s on Netflix (for now), and

    Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Tennis: Beautiful game that doesn't know how to count

    Wimbledon just concluded yesterday (congrats Sinner!), and it's a reminder of how much I enjoy tennis as a sport. I used to play it some (wasn't particularly good), and still tangentially follow it nowadays (the Roland Garros final this year between Alcaraz and Sinner is an all-time classic).  There's something intrinsically mesmerising about the sport, I think even for spectators who have never picked up a racquet. At first glance, it may seem like just two people (or four, but doubles is
