GetGo car drives with its handbrake engaged, police puts a ‘stop’ to it

I can only imagine how it feels like to do a burnout. To have all that power sent straight to the wheels, to hear your tortured tires screaming, to smell the smoke before you go full send and are thrown back into your seat as the lights go green. 

This GetGo driver can join me and keep imagining too.

What happened? 

On March 20, at Bedok North Avenue 3, a GetGo car was beginning to move forward after a green light when its handbrake engaged. However, the driver continued to move and was even in the process of turning left while his rear tyres were locked up.

This is even more confusing when you realise that the sound the rear tyres made would be even louder for the driver, as the audio recorded was from a cam car. Not to mention the feedback from having 2 immobile wheels. And bro was still driving??

A kind police officer followed the GetGo car and pulled him over to help with his issue.

Online chatter

Most people were criticising the driver and his skill issue.

To be fair, I think it’s warranted. This one even if he cannot hear anything, confirm still can feel right? 

Others had a laugh. Also warranted.

I think when the driver realises what happened, he will start quoting Lewis Hamilton.

Good thing was it was half engaged. Not full lock. So no smoke … but the handbrake always had some weird noise to it.

  • 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

    ERP 2.0: Possible positions for your processing unit

    Your OBU's processing unit isn't always mounted on the passenger footwell. Depending on the car that you drive, more than one option may be available!
