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.

  • 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

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 6)

    Fireflies. Not a topic I think about often, if at all, but here we are.  On a recent podcast episode, I learnt that the light that fireflies emit is nearly 100% efficient. That's amazing (nature generally is). And it is precisely the study of fireflies (and their light) that has allowed the development of more efficient LED lights.  On a whim, I did a bit of extra Googling, and lo and behold, Japan pops up once more, with yet another culturally-unique eccentricity.  In Japan, ther

    Mycarforum visits Omoda

    Attendees to this latest Mycarforum hangout event with Omoda got up close to the E5 and Jaecoo J7 and got a few tips on driving an electric car in Malaysia. It may have been close to a month since we visited the Skoda Kodiaq, but our Mycarforum members clearly could not get enough of the opportunity to explore new cars. At least, that's what the turnout at the latest Mycarforum hangout suggested! This new hangout session saw more than 30 of our members heading down to the new Omoda sho

    It is safe to say that one way or another, the majority of Singaporean men have served their country. Be it sleeping in the jungles of Mandai, walking the beat on the streets of Clarke Quay on New Year’s Eve, or putting out fires (literally) clad in heavy protective gear, most local and naturalised male citizens have given up, as the song goes, “two years of our time”. But many have differing views of National Service. Some see it as a hindrance, a waste of time. Some see it as an opportuni
