  1. One day 2 road rage video upload on SG Road vigilante for incident 13 Oct 2023! Champion guy think need to go Anger Management Course 😂😂😂
  2. We thought ComfortDelGro taxi drivers should be the most well-mannered taxi drivers on our island based on service standards, but this driver's actions made us stop and think. What made us think otherwise? This video of a very pissed-off taxi driver confronting the cam car driver for sounding his horn at him. Rewinding back to how it all started, the cam car can be heard sounding his horn at the taxi driver after a passenger gets off at a sheltered crossing. The taxi driver then proceeds to move off slowly, triggering the cam car driver to toot his horn in impatience. The taxi driver does not react to the first horn which leads to a few more horns from cam car. This is where it gets interesting. The taxi driver's pissed off at this point, he takes his time to slowly drive into the carpark and stops on the second level to confront the cam car driver. We don't really know what happened after the taxi driver got off his taxi since most of the clip is on mute. Thankfully, no one got hurt in this road rage incident. Could this have been avoided if the cam car just overtook the taxi at the shelter? Let us know! Not an isolated incident That is not the end of the story though. Someone else has also been a victim to the same taxi driver's road rage.
  3. We start off the week with video that happened a week or so ago but only started to trend recently. Seen on SG Road Vigilante, is this particular Mazda 3 driver that became so triggered that he had to get out of his car with vulgarities spewing out of his mouth non stop. Like all road rage incidents though, it takes two to clap. Thankfully, the camera car driver was honest enough to show what he did that made the Mazda 3 driver so pissed. We could see him honking the Mazda as the road merge at the junction along Bedok North Road, before speeding past the Mazda which also tried to filter into the middle lane due to construction works ahead. Those two actions probably triggered the Mazda 3 driver bad and when he got to block the camera car, he made sure he was heard by the camera car. Probably not wanting to blow this up, the camera car drove off after the heated exchange of words but the Mazda 3, whose road tax had also expired, gave chase and did some not-very-nice gestures when he caught up... Let us know what are your thoughts on this case of road rage!
  4. Imagine you are the driver [sweatdrop] But got that tinkling feeling that this particular case seemed to be staged.... Anyway there are all sorts of characters on the roads so just watch out & not only be safe, play safe also. From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...ore_is_bad.html Posted on 02 Apr 2012 Bizarre road rage in Poland: Biker threatens driver with axe If you thought road rage in Singapore is bad, you would be shocked by what happens in Poland. This guy chases people who honk at him, with an axe! This video has been gaining popularity online. It shows a biker waiting at the traffic light. Despite the fact that the light turned green, he remains stationary. The vehicle behind honks at him. On the second honk, the biker takes out an axe and chases the other driver, who reverses to avoid getting chopped. Said STOMPer Rai: "That was scary. "And I thought people who shouted at each other were unreasonable. "Who goes around with an axe anyway?"
  5. anybody saw this yet? seems like the driver didn't do anything to provoke the mark x!
  6. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/cnainsider/road-rage-singaporean-drivers-anger-management--11126586 On Channel NewsAsia's talking point show a couple of days ago on the topic of road rage. Interesting article... Food for thought Inside road rage: What turns Singaporean drivers into monsters? All it takes is an “idiot driver” hogging the lane to set him off. “It gets my blood boiling,” said the radio show caller who identified himself as Sin. “And the next thing I’d do is, I’d overtake him. I’d look at him, point the finger at him, call him to the side road, and then we settle it like men.” Asked by 938NOW host Keith de Souza about facing the consequences, legal or otherwise, of his actions, he said: “I don’t care.” “If a man is angry, he’s angry,” he said simply. Sin, who has been driving for more than 40 years, is not alone. Videos of road rage incidents on Singapore’s roads have been viral fodder on social media, while related court cases have made the headlines. According to a survey by insurer AXA, one in two Singaporean drivers feel that the roads have become less safe compared to three years ago – citing more aggressive drivers as the top reason. So what is it that is setting off seemingly normal people once they get behind the wheel? In a recent episode, the programme Talking Point delved into the question by getting into a car with a a driver who is candidate for road rage. Mac, as he wanted to be known, does not look like an angry person. In fact the 42-year-old project manager’s friend, Siva, described him as “a really awesome dude” – except for his “horrible temper” that “translates into his driving”. Mac admits that getting angry while driving is normal for him. He said: "I believe that's how it is on Singapore roads; a lot of people are stressed" “Sometimes, you start the day with certain emotions after leaving your home or workplace. The first few guys who cut in without signalling, you try to be ‘okay, never mind’. “But then it happens again – and it hits you to the maximum. You want to show some sign language to tell him that this is not okay.” Once, he even got out of his car to snap at the other driver. Talking Point host Steven Chia soon got a taste of Mac’s impatience. A bus on his left moved too slowly for Mac, and he sped ahead to cut it off – earning a honk from the bus driver. Asked if he felt that was “slightly aggressive” driving, Mac sheepishly agreed. “I was also thinking there was a car following behind me … I could be wrong." ENTITLED DRIVERS Asked why he thought there was so much road rage in Singapore, ROADS.SG founder Aloysius Fong noted that cars were very expensive here. “And so, the car will always be a treasured item. If you come close and you threaten my car or me, I will react straightaway,” he said. His director, Jason Lim, also attributed it to a sense of entitlement. “Everyone feels like they're right in these instances. Which is very amusing – it’s why they all send us their videos,” he said. ROADS.SG, which has about 200,000 followers, gets nearly 30 video submissions a day capturing all sorts of incidents on the roads. One type of driver, in particular, is often generalised as acting entitled: Those who own flashy and expensive cars. Mr Lester Tang, marcoms director of Sports Car Club (Singapore) – which educates its 120 members to be gracious on the road – agreed that there’s the impression that if one has a high-powered sports car, one must be an aggressive driver. “(But) sports car or not, road rage is a personality thing,” he said. Club president Rosalind Choo said she is not an angry driver, but has been the brunt of other drivers’ aggression. Once, she accidentally knocked another car while opening the door of her Lamborghini and apologised for it. “The next thing (the other driver) said was: ‘Don’t think that driving a supercar is a big deal.' I don’t know where she got that from.” TAKE A DEEP BREATH Can road rage be reined in? There is no specific law here that deals with road rage, but it is treated as a criminal offence once it becomes a case of voluntarily causing hurt. The number of such cases that involve road rage has actually dropped by nearly 30 per cent – from 90 in 2013 to 66 in 2017. On a personal level, though, grappling with one’s anger demons can seem daunting. One 938NOW caller described it as something that “takes over” a person. “You're out of control. When it happens, you are not yourself,” said the man, Mr Chan. But Mac was open to giving it a go at the Singapore Counselling Centre, which sees more than 70 clients a month who need help managing their anger. Mr Warton Ong, a professional counsellor, suggested an easy deep breathing technique – inhaling through one’s nose, holding for about four seconds, and exhaling slowly through pursed lips. “When we’re triggered, our breathing becomes very chaotic,” he explained. “It inhibits the way you think, feel and act. "Once we're able to stabilise out breathing, then we get the thinking brain back in action." "And we’ll realise, ‘I need not retaliate, because that will endanger my life’.” Mr Ong also showed Mac what he calls “thinking traps”, such as “should statements” – telling yourself that things should be the way you hope or expect them to be. Mac agreed that sometimes he is too quick to judge and blame others. He reckoned that he should focus more on his driving and less on others’. DID HE IMPROVE? Mac said he would try to apply Mr Ong’s suggestions in his daily driving routine – and after three weeks, Talking Point put his patience to the test. With senior instructor Mr Low Kar Yoong from the Singapore Safety Driving Centre secretly taking on the role of a bad driver, Mac was put through a few scenarios. In one, Mr Low drove slowly and uncertainly in front of Mac, who decided to overtake the road hog. Mr Low sounded his horn and Mac waved him off. Mr Low then cut into Mac’s lane and jammed on his brakes. Mac high-beamed him and sounded his horn. Finally, Mr Low cut into Mac’s lane again and made an abrupt left turn, and Mac did not react – he stayed calm. “I put myself in that position ... Sometimes we miss a spot and you want to turn. It could be me,” he reasoned. Giving his assessment afterwards, Mr Low said he thought Mac responded pretty well, pointing out that he “didn’t do any dangerous manoeuvres like overtaking me abruptly”. He added: “Some horning or high beams is fine to prevent accidents from happening." Mac shared that he felt calmer than the first time Mr Chia had sat in a car with him. The counsellor’s advice had proven useful. “Normally I would have used colourful words and pointed my middle finger. But today, I was taking a deep breath and trying to focus on my driving and my safety,” he said.
  7. A taxi driver was jailed for two weeks on Thursday for assaulting a motorcyclist in a road rage case. Poh Teik Eng, 43, pleaded guilty to using both his clenched fists to punch Mr Yen Chee Jiang, 28, on his chest area at the junction of Havelock Road and New Market Road on Feb 10 last year. A court heard that Mr Yen was travelling behind Poh along Havelock Road on a right-turn only lane when Poh tried to change to the lane on his left. He abruptly jammed his brakes to try and filter to that lane but could not due to the heavy traffic. Shortly, Poh again jammed his brakes and tried to change to the lane on his left. Mr Yen sounded his horn at him and shouted "Oi'' as he passed the taxi. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/...d-rage-20130711
  8. Singapore Court: Foreign expat escaped jail term after brutal assault on Singaporean student Photo from The Straits Times A foreign expat from England, Alan Benjamin Maybury, has been excused jail term for his brutal assault on a 19-year-old Singaporean student. At 1.30am on the morning of 30 Nov 2014, the 34-year-old former consultant was travelling in a taxi with his Singaporean wife along South Buona Vista Road. 19-year-old Singaporean polytechnic student Lum Kwok Weng was driving in the opposite direction and lost control of his vehicle when he approached a sharp bend and crashed into the taxi. Alan Maybury then got out of the taxi and started shouting expletives at Lum Kwok Weng, and began brutally punching the student in the face several times. He was only stopped when a motorist confronted him and called the police. The victim suffered swelling on the right side of his mouth with a visible cut. However in a weird twist of event, the Deputy Public Prosecutor Mansoor Amir actually spoke on behalf of the aggressor and merely asked for “an appropriate fine”. The Government prosecutor actually faulted the accident for the attack: “It was the accident that caused the accused’s momentary outburst of violence.” Currently, all punching-related road-rage assault cases involving Singaporeans as an aggressor have resulted in a jail term. The Singapore judiciary have always emphasized on a jail sentence to deter road rage incidents, but clearly isn’t applicable in this case. The sentencing of Alan Maybury have fueled discussions of unequal treatment against Singaporeans and preference treatment for foreigners from the Singapore judiciary.
  9. In Singapore we complaint or quarrel over parking lot. In KL, you can get stabbed for it. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=535925549875129
  10. Incidents of road rage are on the rise in Singapore, with known attacks occurring once every four days last year. Reported cases that resulted in assault rose to 97 last year, up from 84 in 2011 and 63 in 2010. Some of the cases were heard in court in recent months. A businessman was sentenced to one month in jail earlier this month for punching a technician he felt should have given way to him on a street in Jurong East.

  11. Some of the footage where people cracked and turn berserk in office. Have any of you encounter similar office rage at your office/career? Where colleagues suddenly turned emotional or violent and smashing things or beating up people? I was pretty lucky the worst I've encountered is a senior staff screaming his lungs off the director and walking out of her office slamming her door. The next thing that happened is the security coming up to escort him out of the office. He was not even allow to pack his desk and we had to help him pack and pass his stuff to him outside. This senior of mine was actually a nice person and a great worker, he did have temper issues but nothing he can't control....until now. He just suddenly snapped and we were all shocked when he screamed inside. Apparently it was partly caused by his family issues, as well as some pressures from the bosses.
  12. SKH3536D? Is this a one-sided story? http://www.allsingaporestuff.com/article/angry-ang-moh-driver-tails-nsf-home-beats-him-lift/ ANGRY ANG MOH DRIVER TAILS NSF HOME & BEATS HIM UP IN THE LIFT To Editors of A.S.S, This happened at my residence in Sentosa this evening 25 June 2014. My son was driving back from his army camp and just after entering Sentosa, a car cut abruptly into my son's lane so my son horned at him to avoid any accident. As a result, the other driver horned back at my son. My son ignored this and continued driving not realizing that the other car driven by an angmo was following him. Once my son reached our residence car park the other car tried to follow but was stopped by the security. So the angmo left the car outside and ran inside the carpark even though the security guards tried to stop him. He ran towards my son who had parked his car and followed him. When my son entered the lift lobby using his access card, this ang mo barged into the lift and started shouting at my son accusing him of nearly causing an accident. My son denied this and then the ang mo pushed my son against the wall and strangled him while lifting him by the neck. My son was shocked and then the angmo took a picture of my son and threatened him. The attacker then rushed off but was stopped by the security. We called the police who is investigating the matter. We managed to take a picture of the assailant. Regards Mdm RD

  14. While you're driving on the road, one rule of thumb that you'll always have to keep in mind is to be careful, real careful. You have to watch out not only for vehicles to avoid a crash, but you'll also have to beware of drivers who may go mad at you, even if you think you've done not even a single thing that's wrong. I believe you don't want to experience what this motorcycle rider did. Unfortunately enough for the motorcycle rider, he got slapped in the middle of the road by a guy driving a Volkswagen Golf. Honestly, this Golf driver is kind of stupid, I would say, thinking that the motorcycle rider was trying to race him. He claimed that the rider was riding aggressively while in fact it was the VW Golf driver himself who was an aggressive driver and the public could see it as well. Based on what we can see in the video, in addition to the statement from the motorcycle rider which seemed true, we tend to believe that the Golf driver was entirely wrong. Besides, had the motorcycle rider tried to race him, he would have gone past the VW Golf way ahead, keeping in mind how motorcycles can easily slip through traffic whereas cars can't. In addition to that, most of today's motorcycles have really fast acceleration. Just try to recall for yourself, how often have you seen motorcycles going past cars so easily? I believe it happens nearly all the time. However, the response of the motorcycle rider is somewhat cool, I should say. Instead of fighting back, he chose to report the aggressive driver to the local police department. All that's left to do now is to wait for police investigation to complete and it should not take long as the Golf driver had already been identified. According to the rider, one little slap was no big deal, but had the Golf driver hit him the second time, he would have taken his revenge and things would have gone out of hand. Furthermore, the motorcycle rider was putting on a full face helmet, carbon gloves, and protective gear. With that being said, you should be able to imagine how bad things could have gone for the stupid guy in the VW Golf. Well, two thumbs up for you, motorcycle rider!
  15. Good morning to all, got involved in this so called carpark rage this morning and would like to seek advice from seniors here. I was looking for a carpark lot near henderson market this morning. As i was moving ahead in the long stretch of open air carpark, i noticed a taxi preparing to move out from one of the lots, however before i approach that "potential lot", a Fiat goods vehicle was stationary( about 4 lots away from the potential lot) along the road without hazard lights on. I decided to overtake the goods vehicle and stop just ahead of that potential lot where the taxi was about to move out, put on hazard lights and engage reverse gear to standby for a reverse parking procedure, as i was just about to reverse in, the goods veheicle sped up, horned me to signal its displeasure. This later brought about a quarrel over the lot between me and the driver. After this incident, i felt that i might have prevented it by just stoping beside the goods vehicle to check its intention before proceeding on as a act of courtesy. however, since he there was no hazards lights on or whatsoever to signal its intention, can i assume i have to right of way to overtake it and park into the lot? Whos is right and who is wrong here? Wish to seek advice from you guys here. Many thanks!

  19. When his Indonesian maid was accused of bad driving and causing the accident, Koh Tiong Hwee pointed out that the other motorist had cut into their lane. A quarrel ensued and he punched the other man in the stomach. On Wednesday, the 58-year-old businessman was sentenced to a month in jail for causing hurt to retail manager Dave Harbert Tan. A charge of kicking Mr Tan's Honda Integra car was taken into consideration by the judge when passing sentence. Koh, 58, is appealing against the sentence and was freed on $10,000 bail. He had pleaded guilty earlier this month to committing the offence on June 22 last year. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_825978.html
  20. A road-rage offender escaped jail after a district judge on Thursday exercised judicial mercy and imposed the maximum fine of $5,000 and a one-year driving ban. District Judge May Mesenas took into consideration the exceptional circumstances in this case, primarily the man's medical condition. The normal punishment for a convicted road-rage offender is a jail sentence. Retired businessman Sunny Tiang Thian Oon, 56, who was seated in a wheelchair in court on Thursday, suffers from depression as well as back and spinal problems, among other things. He was found guilty last November of hurting dog trainer Patrick Wong, 53, in June 2010. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_793135.html
  21. A businessman was jailed for 12 days on Thursday for kicking and punching a taxi driver in the eye. Hyril Annual Borhan, 41, was also ordered to pay $300 compensation to Mr Gan Kok Beng, 53, whom he had attacked at a taxi stand along Changi Road on Dec 11, 2010. The court heard that the victim was ferrying a fare along Changi Road when Hyril, who was driving a van, suddenly cut into his lane, causing the victim to take evasive action. The victim overtook Hyril's vehicle and signalled at him. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_790450.html

  24. An engineer who struck a motorist on the head with a metal pole was jailed for four weeks and banned from driving for 12 months on Thursday. Cheong Lean Wai, 32, had admitted in August this year to hitting Mr Phua Kwee Meng on the head with a metal pole, causing a 5cm bruise on the head and a 1cm cut near a petrol station along Woodlands Ave 1 on Aug 17 last year. The court heard that Cheong had changed lanes while driving his pregnant wife home along Seletar Expressway. Mr Phua, 42, who was driving behind, tail-gated him and high-beamed his headlamps. He eventually overtook Cheong. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_727708.html

From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...fronts_man.html Posted on 09 Nov 2011 Driver swerves into lane and confronts man -- just because he was 'high-beamed' The Honda Fit driver swerved dangerously into STOMPer vkfbdriver's path and angrily confronted him, just because the latter had flashed his headlights at him earlier. The STOMPer described the incident: "A reckless and inconsiderate young driver did not signal when changing lanes. "I high-beamed him once to warn him, but he jammed on his brakes. "I overtook him in order not to get into any accident, but he tried to create another incident again. "Luckily, I managed to brake in time. "He continued straight on after this, showing that he had deliberately cut into my lane just to stop me. "This happened on Nov 6, at about 2pm along Woodlands Avenue 12 just before junction turning into Woodlands Avenue 1." *** Check out the embedded video at the end of web page which recorded how the incident started...
