TLDR; Nissan driver engages in reckless lane change that could have led to a severe collision.

Watch the video for yourself below 

Black Nissan NV350 was caught on camera recklessly lane changing at Exit 15 to Yio Chu Kang Road on CTE towards SLE, cutting it extremely close to the camcar and potentially resulting in a collision. 

The camcar then had to swerve and brake in order to avoid colliding with the Nissan.

It almost seems like the Nissan vehicle did not check his blindspot and the lane before recklessly changing into a lane that was already occupied. 

This seems like extremely irresponsible behavior that could have resulted in massive damage if a collision had occurred. 

According to Traffic Police, reckless or dangerous driving could potentially warrant you liable to an imprisonment period of up to 12 months as well as a fine of up to $5000 or both. 

This is so as to promote road safety as well as to discourage reckless driving on roads. 

Netizen Comments 

Netizens express their take at the situation above, criticizing both the Nissan driver as well as placing partial blame on the driver of the camcar. 

Personally, I think that reckless lane changing on roads should definitely be harshly punished before irreversible consequences occur. But with a different perspective, could this near collision have been avoided if either car had slowed down? 

Could this have been avoided if either car had given way and slowed down? Live and let live, a little patience goes a long way.
