What do you call a Gojek driver with a grandmother story talking on a mobile phone while driving?

What do you call a Gojek driver with a grandmother story talking on a mobile phone while driving?

TL;DR - As if driving with one hand on the wheel and the other on your phone, this Gojek driver decided to answer a call whilst driving on a wet and rainy day. To put the cherry on top of the cake, he was riding a paying passenger. Not quite smart of a move, mister.

 

To answer the hypothetical question in the title: You should call the driver a biological mistake.

Drivers like this do not deserve to be born.

The lives of your passengers are literally in your hands! That's a huge responsibility! And what did the good ol’ Uncle Ben tell Peter Parker about responsibility?

Watch this 30-second video to witness a severe lack of said responsibility:

What happened? 

The private hire decided to make (or answer) a phone call whilst fetching a passenger. In the video, he sounded engrossed in the call while balancing the remaining bit of his attention span to watching the road and controlling the steering wheel.

Regardless of how good a driver you are, using your mobile phone while driving is extremely dangerous.

It's so dangerous that if you're caught, you could face jail time!

First time offender - imprisonment for a period up to 6 months or a fine up to $1000 (or both). 

Repeated offender - imprisonment for a period up to 12 months or a fine up to $2000 (or both). 

Let’s hear from the netizens:

However, the comments section was split. 

Some were also defending the driver, noting that the passenger who filmed this could’ve simply asked the driver to not use his phone or at least use a Bluetooth headset instead.

By posting this online, it might potentially cause the driver to lose his rice bowl.

Moral of the story: Better be safe than sorry - one call could wreck it all. Put down the phone and drive safely. The call can wait, your life is more precious than anything else.

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    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

    YOLO or FOMO? The perils of overpacked holidays

    You've finally escaped your daily grind, jetted off to paradise, and now you're... exhausted? Welcome to the modern vacation conundrum. In the words of a well-spoken colleague, this is "where YOLO meets FOMO in an epic battle for your precious holiday time".

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok
