Anybody spotted this reckless driver cutting in and out of lanes along TPE, appreciate if you could private message me. Incident happened just a while ago at about 2315hrs, CTE exit to TPE. The white swift was seen exiting to Sengkang East Road. Pic showing CTE tunnel exit to TPE.

Saw this taxi straying into my lane without signal...later he saw me then quickly signal and cut in...

Taken from Sammyboy Kopitiam I was driving along Upp Thomson (towards Sembawang) around 6pm on 22 Dec 10 when a Citroen C6 bearing licence plates SBA2084 (missed the check letter at the end) filtered across two lanes from the PIE into the centre lane in front of me without signaling. I tapped on my horn but there was no response. I then notice a white VW Toureag to my left. The driver (in dark glasses) smiled at me and briefly shook his head. The VW too filtered in front of me, but politely and with the proper signals. I then realized it had flashing lights and was in fact a police vehicle. I was behind a mini ministerial convoy. The C6 driver was decidedly reckless changing lanes frequently, often without signaling. The VW often had trouble keeping up. I wondered why such an idiotic driver would remain in the employ of a minister. I then chose to pass the convoy and realized that the C6 had only two occupants in the front seat, meaning that the driver was probably the minister himself.

Recently, there had been many news of car accidents which was basically caused by reckless driving. Personally, I have seen drivers who drive dangerously like driving through traffic lights which just turned red, stopping suddenly with giving advanced warnings, or just changed lanes abruptly. Is it because our current penalties for flouting traffic rules are too light and is not effective as a deterrent?
