Can Mr Shamugam explain why

[Beehive3783]

STOMPer Peter sent in a video showing the driver of an unmarked 'QX car' refusing to give way to a taxi driver who made a signal to change lanes. The driver of the car even went as far as to drive so close to the taxi that the side mirror was bent.

 

The STOMPer had come across the video on YouTube, which was titled "Unruly driver of Singapore unmarked police car".

 

However, the Police has made a check and has confirmed that the car does not belong to the Singapore Police Force.

 

The police also says that they are looking into the matter.

 

STOMP understands that cars marked with a QX licence plates are from emergency and law-enforcement agencies, which include the Singapore Police Force, Singapore Civil Defence Force and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority.

 

The incident apparently happened on Jan 29, at 3.13pm, as shown on the video's time stamp.

 

The taxi driver, who was already changing lanes, waited for the traffic to move before trying to do so again.

 

However, when the lane cleared, the driver of the unmarked QX car drove up next to the taxi once more.

 

This time, the driver drove so near to the taxi that the side mirror was bent in the process.

 

The STOMPer said in an email:

 

"I'm appalled by the sad behaviour of the driver of a QX car.

 

"It happened along Holland Road at about 3.15pm on 29 Jan, 2013.

 

"It was clear that the unmarked car driver behaved in an unruly, ungracious and 'road bully' attitude towards the taxi driver.

 

"He even drove so near that the side mirror bent the taxi's side mirror!"

The driver should be punished for spoiling the clean name of the garment agency!

Government vehicles pay OMV only. No ARF, no road tax.

Likely this one is driven by some of the minister body guard.

They are the bodyguards of ministers and driving the car straddling 2 lanes is part of their "protection" manoeuvre. I seen before when other cars drive too close and the bodyguards will actually open the rear door to stop the car. This one don't play play.

Funny, why no one yet to post the car plates details??? Scare kenna reported in newspaper like Radx???

[Rncw]

i think even if ministers also same..no one is above the law...not even the polis adek....all must follow the law....if the traffic rule says keep to the lanes and signal or changing lanes...then i think even polis adek must comply, more even as they are representing the law....they set examples....

video being taken down already

[Hiaceminibus]

ya..i am surprised this kind of this also blame gahment...

Not blaming the gov but since he complain abt his wife being cut off when trying to change lane then why didnt he remind his ministry to be courteous to the public.

[Hamburger]

is this not the ody that goes round as undercover to catch driver using hp while driving.

 

they even invited tv crews on board to film them doing the catch....

[Kurtselva]

Hate this kind of drivers who purposely speed to prevent others from changing lane infront of them..

 

That is why I don't signal early... Cos have experienced before most of the time I signal early to change lane, the car behind would speed up purposely.. So I will only signal at the right time when the opportunity comes to make a lane switch safely within 2-3 seconds after making the signal
