"Z Monster" is a Singlish term for sleepiness, drowsiness or fatigue.

It is not uncommon for drivers to feel tired while driving, especially for private hire drivers after a long day's work.

However, for a private hire driver to doze off at the wheel while ferrying a passenger is a whole other level of fatigue.

Watch it here:

What Happened?

While in transit to her destination on a RYDE vehicle, a passenger watched in horror as her RYDE driver began fending off attacks by the Z Monster - her driver started dozing off at the wheel. 

The passenger claims that her RYDE driver had a near-miss with another vehicle by almost colliding with it. 

Also, to prevent her driver from falling asleep, she tried initiating a conversation with her RYDE driver, but he did not reciprocate as he was too tired.

Eventually, the passenger managed to reach her destination safely.

However, whether the driver continued driving after completing this trip is unknown.

What should the passenger have done?

Many netizens ridiculed the passenger for shaming him by uploading the video of the driver dozing off.

After all, what use would uploading the video be?

Instead of filming the video, netizens stated that she should have alerted him of his hazardous behaviour and requested him to pull up along the road to rest before driving again. 

Simply filming the video and not taking any pre-emptive actions against the driver would only jeopardise the lives of the driver, the passenger and other motorists.

NGL, I wasn't expecting such heart-warming comments.

I would rather be in a ride driven by a driver whose eyes half closing but still driving safe rather than in one driven by driver with eyes wide opened but reckless.

Don't watch in horror. Wake him and ask him to stop at a safe place to freshen up himself.🙂

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
