What do you call a Gojek driver with a grandmother story talking on a mobile phone while driving?

TL;DR - As if driving with one hand on the wheel and the other on your phone, this Gojek driver decided to answer a call whilst driving on a wet and rainy day. To put the cherry on top of the cake, he was riding a paying passenger. Not quite smart of a move, mister.

 

To answer the hypothetical question in the title: You should call the driver a biological mistake.

Drivers like this do not deserve to be born.

The lives of your passengers are literally in your hands! That's a huge responsibility! And what did the good ol’ Uncle Ben tell Peter Parker about responsibility?

Watch this 30-second video to witness a severe lack of said responsibility:

What happened? 

The private hire decided to make (or answer) a phone call whilst fetching a passenger. In the video, he sounded engrossed in the call while balancing the remaining bit of his attention span to watching the road and controlling the steering wheel.

Regardless of how good a driver you are, using your mobile phone while driving is extremely dangerous.

It's so dangerous that if you're caught, you could face jail time!

First time offender - imprisonment for a period up to 6 months or a fine up to $1000 (or both). 

Repeated offender - imprisonment for a period up to 12 months or a fine up to $2000 (or both). 

Let’s hear from the netizens:

However, the comments section was split. 

Some were also defending the driver, noting that the passenger who filmed this could’ve simply asked the driver to not use his phone or at least use a Bluetooth headset instead.

By posting this online, it might potentially cause the driver to lose his rice bowl.

Moral of the story: Better be safe than sorry - one call could wreck it all. Put down the phone and drive safely. The call can wait, your life is more precious than anything else.

  • Toyota Allion trying to evade ERP charges or forgot to put cashcard in the IU?

    TL;DR – A Toyota Allion hits the brakes and hazard lights just before an ERP gantry. Netizens try to rationalise this selfish and entitled behaviour. With ERPs back in operation, it is no surprise to see incidents like this occurring. For example, the ERP gantry along the AYE just before or after the Celemti Ave 6 exit. Back when I lived in the West (for a short time), I would always see cars and motorbikes parked near the bus stop or road shoulder to avoid paying the ERP tol

    Toyota Hiace tries to outrun a TP motorcycle in a rare high-speed chase in Singapore

    TL;DR - A Toyota Hiace with illegal modifications refused to stop and even sped off from the Traffic Police.  [UPDATE 15/02/23, Wednesday] - Mission to escape the traffic police failed as the Toyota Hiace was found abandoned in one of the multi-storey car parks in Yishun.  MIA driver though.  Watch these two videos fresh out the oven of the great escapade by the van driver.  Part 2   Part 3 After beating the red light, speeding against the traffic and

    Cam car tries to cut into a McLaren Convoy but gets denied access by a McLaren 720s

    TL;DR - Cam-car's attempt to filter behind the McLaren Convoy was disrupted by a McLaren 720S that sped past to prevent overtaking.  A perfect example of monkey on wheels.   Watch this 33-second video to see how this cam-car tried to sandwich between two McLarens but almost got 'rekt'.  So what happened? The cam-car signaled right with the intention to filter to the next lane behind the McLaren Convoy.  However, his/her attempt failed as a McLaren 720S sped up to pr

    Powered bicycle exceeds 60km/h while playing with ‘lightsabers’

    Another day, another PAB/PMD story. Why is it always the younger people using these?   What happened?  At 1.32 A.M, a PMD and PAB (Power Assisted Bicycle) were spotted going over 60km/h on Jalan Eunos.    The PMD is initially in the lead but that changes at 0:34 in the video, when the PAB surges past the PMD like a turbo kicked in.   Impressively, it looks like this was all while the PAB rider was using one hand to keep the bike steady as he held a f
