"Z Monster" is a Singlish term for sleepiness, drowsiness or fatigue. It is not uncommon for drivers to feel tired while driving, especially for private hire drivers after a long day's work. However, for a private hire driver to doze off at the wheel while ferrying a passenger is a whole other level of fatigue. Watch it here: IMG_8478.MP4 What Happened? While in transit to her destination on a RYDE vehicle, a passenger watched in horror as her RYDE driver began fending off attacks by the Z Monster - her driver started dozing off at the wheel. The passenger claims that her RYDE driver had a near-miss with another vehicle by almost colliding with it. Also, to prevent her driver from falling asleep, she tried initiating a conversation with her RYDE driver, but he did not reciprocate as he was too tired. Eventually, the passenger managed to reach her destination safely. However, whether the driver continued driving after completing this trip is unknown. What should the passenger have done? Many netizens ridiculed the passenger for shaming him by uploading the video of the driver dozing off. After all, what use would uploading the video be? Instead of filming the video, netizens stated that she should have alerted him of his hazardous behaviour and requested him to pull up along the road to rest before driving again. Simply filming the video and not taking any pre-emptive actions against the driver would only jeopardise the lives of the driver, the passenger and other motorists.
