Pedestrian walking along the expressway or cam car stopping on the road shoulder to scold the pedestrian - who’s the bigger road hazard?

Pedestrian walking along the expressway or cam car stopping on the road shoulder to scold the pedestrian - who’s the bigger road hazard?

TL;DR - Cam car saw a pedestrian walking along the expressway and stopped over to sternly warn him to not do this as it is extremely hazardous for road users. Many nasty comments were made in the midst of the argument. 

Whether you own a driving license or not, one just need a tiny bit of common sense to know that it is dangerous to walk along the expressway where tons of cars are just basically zooming past every few seconds. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case for this particular man. 

As you watch this 60-second video, see which side you are on. 

Transcript: 

Driver: D; Pedestrian: P  

D : Cannot walk here, HELLO, this is the highway! 

P : What do you want? 

D : Cannot walk here! 

P : I want to go home, I am finding my way home 

D : Eh, you cannot like that walk one leh, you will harm us everyone leh, all the cars 

P : The cars should wait for me

D Cars wait for you?! You will cause us to get into car accidents! Eh this is Singapore, you dont anyhow do things here. You are very bad!

P :  What do you want? 

D : This road can walk? 

P : But I walked the wrong way

D : Then walk back where you came from! 

P : You want me to jump down? 

D : Yes 

P : You are crazy! 

D : You will cause Singaporeans to get into accidents! 

P : You really got problem, you want you bang me down now 

D : Bang you? You talk very *inaudible* 

What happened? 

It is pretty obvious (from the tonality and gestures) that the cam car driver is shouting hysterically at the clueless pedestrian with his GPS somehow landing him on the expressway. 

It seems that this pedestrian just arrived in Singapore and has lost his way getting around in our already tiny island. The cam car decided to lash out at him and sternly warned him that by walking on the expressway, it poses harm to road users. 

Indeed the pedestrian shouldn’t have continued on walking along the expressway, seeing that he is the only lone ranger. However, the comments were booming with anger towards the cam car driver. 

The cam car could have offered a lift and kindly inform our poor friend that he shouldn’t be walking along such a heavy filled traffic. On the other hand, the pedestrian should’ve u-turned knowing he is walking a path of danger. Or perhaps seek help on getting around in Singapore. 

Let’s hear what these angry cybercitizens have to say:

Seems like what the cam car filmed has totally backfired on him… big time. 

& more...

There’s loads more but you get the gist. 

Let us know what you think and what would you do if you were the befuddled pedestrian.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    The best covers are the ones you don't expect

    I'm not a fan of Christmas.  Let's first set aside the unclear and potentially contentious origins of this particular 'holiday', and my general apathy towards religiosity. (Christians celebrate it as the day of Jesus' birth, though some evidence suggests his actual birth was in the spring. Some historians also note that the Christian traditions of Christmas can be traced back to Pagan roots and the Saturnalia festival, and the chosen 25 December date was an attempt by church leaders to appr

    The Act of Creation

    “WHAT’S A GOOD USERNAME?!” Such was the source of my agony as I was handed a pair of figurative keys to MyAutoBlog. I’d asked the colleague from IT who was helping me set up this account if I really had to make an account with my work email, hoping I could use the username that came with my personal MCF account instead. “yes”, in lowercase no less, was what I got. Oh well. After a good 10 minutes (I think), I decided on this username (a reference I hope someone gets), juvenile and

    Carpark Review: Downtown East

    It used to be most associated with Wild Wild Wet (or Escape Theme Park if you're of a certain vintage) but now is more typically visited by those looking to shop at the NTUC Fairprice of E!Hub or Don Don Donki. Downtown East spans a total of 147,000sqm and was officially opened on 5 November 2000 (according to Wikipedia). For those residing in the far east of Pasir Ris, this is likely to be their port of call for the grocery run (the other typical location being Loyang East). But just how g
