Reported in Sat's(5/10)TNP "Taxi passenger records terror ride on handphone video. MPV follows taxi after getting honked at...." They(the passengers) were heading home in a taxi when a MPV alledgedly drove out from a lane. Wanting to avoid a collision, the cabby hojnked at the black MPV. A crash was averted, but it marked the start of a hellish 20-min ride for the passenger(a teacher) and her bf who boarded after supper. As the 2 vehicles entered CTE from Bt Merah, the MPV began veering in and out of the taxi's path. The teacher began filming the incident on the CTE after she realised the MPV was deliberating following them after the honking incident. Meanwhile the bf called the police who adviced to lure the MPV driver to the nearest police station. The video clip was emailed to The TNP. In the clip - the MPV was seen driving along the road shoulder after cutting into the taxi's path, only to repeat after the taxi drove past. The MPV wasthen driven on the chevron marking before veering into the taxi's path again. In the end, the MPV exited CTE at Merchant Road, but not before flashing a 'V' sign. The taxi driver chose to let the matter rest instead of confronting the MPV driver. The bf made a police report after arriving at Kallang. Police is investigating the incident. Lawyers spoke to said the MPV driver could be charged with reckless or dangerous driving.
