GetGo car drives with its handbrake engaged, police puts a ‘stop’ to it

I can only imagine how it feels like to do a burnout. To have all that power sent straight to the wheels, to hear your tortured tires screaming, to smell the smoke before you go full send and are thrown back into your seat as the lights go green. 

This GetGo driver can join me and keep imagining too.

What happened? 

On March 20, at Bedok North Avenue 3, a GetGo car was beginning to move forward after a green light when its handbrake engaged. However, the driver continued to move and was even in the process of turning left while his rear tyres were locked up.

This is even more confusing when you realise that the sound the rear tyres made would be even louder for the driver, as the audio recorded was from a cam car. Not to mention the feedback from having 2 immobile wheels. And bro was still driving??

A kind police officer followed the GetGo car and pulled him over to help with his issue.

Online chatter

Most people were criticising the driver and his skill issue.

To be fair, I think it’s warranted. This one even if he cannot hear anything, confirm still can feel right? 

Others had a laugh. Also warranted.

I think when the driver realises what happened, he will start quoting Lewis Hamilton.

Good thing was it was half engaged. Not full lock. So no smoke … but the handbrake always had some weird noise to it.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
