I think everyone agrees that we hate people who treat our public roads like their grandfather's road...

Not saying we justify the road rage, or any middle fingers, or license-plate ripping or throwing... 🤪 (if you know, you know!), but we do understand the anger some feel when having to share the driving space with others who are sibei inconsiderate!

Recently, in Eunos Crescent, a Honda Vezel decided to play punk in the neighbourhood--- not only did they beat a red light, they performed an illegal U-turn as well! Furthermore, this was with other cars on the road, including one it was coming head-to-head with, and a pedestrian in the near vicinity.

For those who do not mind the seething rage you will feel, you are welcome to watch the video footage here below:

Shake my head man.

According to the Singapore Traffic Police, the penalty for failing to conform to traffic signals is a fine of $400 for light vehicles, $500 for heavy vehicles, along with 12 demerit points for the errant driver. The penalty for making an illegal U-turn is a fine of $70. Wow, imagine all the gas you could buy with that money!

The dashcam of a fellow driver captured everything. At first, everything seems normal, just a quiet night in the streets of the East...

Hey, wait a minute! Did that Vezel just beat the red light?

Whoa! That's a violation!
Oh man... There's another car there! Siau or what??

Is he doing what we think he's doing? Oh boy, here comes the U-turn...

Dangerous? Inconsiderate? Both!

Man, I cannot believe what I just saw. Needless to say, this driver has gathered the ire of many a netizen in the comment section of the Facebook page the incriminating video was posted on:



This commentator has a sense of humour! Haha.

Whereas some made some observations and some detective work which they subsequently shared with everyone...

No comment here. We do not discriminate against PHVs at mycarforum OK.



Hm? 9 out of 10 of what? Could this netizen be possibly referring to Honda Vezel drivers..?

Well, again, this is a statement we can neither confirm nor deny...

Lastly, there was an interesting comment that we sighted:



Huh, is that so! Well, well, well. I think we can all agree though: what the Vezel driver did was definitely not right, nor happily received!

The verdict is...

Yes, it may have been in the wee hours of morning. Not a lot of cars then, nor many pedestrians. But the Vezel still shouldn't have done that. Traffic rules exist and are put into place for a reason. It was super dangerous because of the presence of other road users, such as the oncoming car and the lone pedestrian, yet more vulnerable due to them not being in any vehicle of sorts.

Wouldn't you feel guilty if your rashness were to cause injuries to others or even... the loss of a life?

That's not your call to make, man. Only God's. Don't play play hor, please.

While we can only pray that everyone around us sticks to the rules, we should also abide by them ourselves... and always stay vigilant too. Take care on the roads, readers!

(Psst, if anyone wants to share about Honda Vezel drivers or if you've had a similar experience... can just comment down here or share!)
