TL-DR- Camcar high beams a Mercedes for no reason, Mercedes driver brake checks camcar. No one can decide who’s in the wrong. We are missing so much context that I can’t give a definite answer on who’s in the wrong this time. Comment down below what are your thoughts! What happened? At Bukit Batok Avenue 3, a camcar decided to high beam a Mercedes C180 out of nowhere for seemingly no reason. When the footage was submitted to SGRoadVigilante, the person was quoted to say “upset when i high beam him, purposely e-brake and caused me to bang into him while turning.” While we do not if it was intentional, the Mercedes indeed brake checked the cam car shortly after being high beamed. However, the camcar did not keep a safe distance from the Mercedes either, leaving no room for it to brake and keep from knocking into the Merc. After the knock, the Mercedes’s driver pulled over and immediately started taking pictures of the camcar and damage done to his own car. Breakdown of mistakes On the camcar’s side, they used high beams when there was no reason to, which is the equivalent of a silent flashbang for whoever is directly in front of them. They also did not keep a safe distance from the Mercedes which, whether intentional or not, allowed the camcar to knock into the Merc’s rear. On the Merc’s side, we have brake checking the camcar. We have no explanation as to why they did this and any reason they have would be under scrutiny as they brake checked directly after the high beams cut out. Furthermore, some already feel that this driver setup the situation to get an insurance claim due to how quickly they got ready to take evidence of the incident. However, being quick to take pictures seems reasonable to me as you don’t know if the driver will immediately run off after an accident like that. So... in the end you can't win in that situation I guess. Online chatter Here are the people who feel that the Mercedes was at fault. Others wanted the camcar to explain the high beams before making a conclusion. One also pointed out the lack of distance between the two vehicles. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.
