Checking for traffic is always a crucial skill to have as a driver! In this video, the cam car travels alongside a blue Honda Fit in the middle lane of the road. As the Fit drives past a bus stop, the vehicle starts sliding to the left lane without turning on its signal lights. At the same time, an SBS bus was attempting to exit the bus lane and merge into the left lane without checking. Assuming that the vehicles on the left lane would give way, the bus enters the road. Upon noticing that the bus captain was not going to let him pass, the Fit driver started to hit the brakes. As you can guess, the Fit crashes into the side of the bus before coming to a complete stop. This is why you don't zone out during the defensive driving portion of your lessons! Bus priority schemes Several netizens quickly pointed out that the bus driver was wrong to assume that he would be given priority to exit the bus lane when there was no bus priority box printed on the road. According to LTA, Drivers are to stop and give way to buses exiting the bays when they notice this road marking. However, there was no bus priority box marking on the roads in the video. The bus captain should have checked for oncoming traffic before leaving. Netizens' reactions Looks like this bus captain needs to brush up on his driving theory! All jokes aside, this incident has taught us all an important lesson - always perform your safety checks! ========= Receive a $10 PayNow for every submission we publish on Facebook!

Sometimes it is better to miss a left turn than to risk damaging your car. While most drivers end up staying in their lanes after missing a turn, this stubborn Toyota Prius driver takes it to the next level. The video starts with the camcar approaching a busy road intersection as he drives down Yishun Avenue 6. At this moment, he notices the silver Toyota Prius up ahead, travelling dangerously close to a green SBS bus. The car is situated between both lanes, making it hard for the camcar to move forward in the right-turning lane. It is evident here that the silver car wanted to turn left but had failed to form up properly earlier on. Instead of letting it go and staying on the right lane, the stubborn Prius decides to sandwich itself in an attempt to make the turn. Puzzled by the driver's behaviour, the camcar inches forward as the light turns green. The bus proceeds to make its intended left turn, which ends with the silver car receiving a slight hit on its side. Unfazed, the driver tilts his vehicle towards the right. Thinking that the Prius finally is willing to make a right turn, the camcar driver slowly forms up behind the vehicle. Just as the right-turning arrow shines green, the camcar prepares himself to take his turn behind the silver car - only to be met with more bewilderment as the vehicle suddenly turns left. Is this considered an offence? While I am shocked and puzzled as to why the Prius didn't just proceed to the right, I have to say that the driver's behaviour is hazardous and inconsiderate to other road users. According to the Driver Improvement Points System (DIPS), forming up incorrectly when turning left or right is considered an offence and results in 4 demerit points and a fine of up to $150. Additionally, failing to give way to oncoming vehicles at a controlled or uncontrolled junction merits another 4 demerit points and a fine of up to $150. Driving or riding against the traffic flow as indicated by traffic signs is also another offence, and the penalty for it is 6 demerit points and a fine of up to $250. Regardless of how many offences this Prius driver has committed over this stubborn stunt, it is safe to say that he probably will be summoned to a kopi session very soon.

I took bus no. 8 home from work on a Thursday evening as I did not drive to work. Upon boarding the bus, I realized that it was a brand new bus as the interior layout of the seat was different from the usual bus no. 8 that I took in the past. First impression was positive, that is until I took up a seat. I sat down on a window seat and realized that something was blocking my feet. I looked down and saw this grey box, which is part of the bus interior fixture. I guess it could house some electronic components. I had to shift my bottom sideways so that I could place both of my feet on the ground. If not, my left foot would have to be placed on top of the box, which is really uncomfortable. It doesn
