A bus driver fails to stay in his lane and swipes the side of a Mitsubishi Eclipse.

The video starts with the cam car approaching a traffic junction as he drives down MacPherson road. 

The driver promptly stops right behind a green SMRT bus in the middle lane. On the right lane, a red Mitsubishi Eclipse patiently waits for the green arrow indicator to light up.

As the light turns green, both the bus and Eclipse start to move forward into the junction.

The bus then makes its right turn, cutting into the path of the red Eclipse.

Upset that he is unable to make his turn, the driver of the car proceeds to spam the horn at the bus, which sounds a lot like a proximity sensor.

The bus driver adamantly continues to make the turn, which led to the gigantic vehicle swiping the left side of the Eclipse.

The video ends with the red car finally making its turn.

Reckless bus drivers

Earlier this year, an SBS bus driver almost collided with another driver after making a reckless right turn at Piccadilly Junction.

The driver was going through the junction as the traffic light turns amber. 

Instead of stopping, the bus suddenly makes a right turn, causing the driver to swerve out of the way.

While Singapore has seen its fair share of bus drivers driving recklessly, this incident raises an important question.

Are our current training routines and regulations sufficient for bus drivers or should there be more implemented?

PHVs turn as if they are driving a bus using a very big turn

and bus drivers drive as if they driving a PHVs cut into the next lane.

:D

They need to switch jobs.

New gen of bus drivers suck at driving. Turning too early exactly like a lot of the new gen of drivers do.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Less caffeine leads to more dreams

    There's nothing like a double espresso to kickstart your morning, especially if it's extracted from medium- or dark-roasted beans. What a tasty way to begin the day. I enjoy coffee, but I'm not a caffeine addict so it's not a must for me to consume. In fact, lately, I've only been drinking it once or twice a week - doing this ensures that when I do drink it (to power my way through a hectic day), the caffeine kick will be well and truly felt. I did not stop drinking coffee thrice a day

    Armored MMA

    Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a brutal sport that, in recent decades, has grown to significant prominence.  Whatever you make of the sport (and the often complicated and sometimes problematic climate that swirls around it), there's no denying its popularity, driven in large part by the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) brand - a multi-billion-dollar global enterprise.  But if partially-clothed men/women beating the s*it out of each other is not quite your thing, may I interest you in

    The fun in collecting postcards without (really ever) sending them

    I believe I may not be alone when I say that I’m quite the avid collector of postcards, but rarely ever send them out to family or friends. To some, this might seem counterintuitive, even wasteful. But for me, these miniature works of art serve a different purpose. They're windows into distant lands; time capsules of bygone eras; and conversation starters par excellence. In fact, in a city as fast-paced as Singapore, where our lives often revolve around our vehicles and the next destination
