A delivery rider was caught on camera approaching a vehicle he thought overtook him earlier.
After scolding the driver and asking if he knew how to drive, it appears that the rider was mistaken all along.
Facebook page ROADS.sg uploaded a video of the incident, which happened on Aug 1 along Yishun Ring Road.
“Cam car driver was on his way to pick up his child from school when he was approached by a Grab rider after parking in a nearby open carpark,” the page noted.
The video starts with the parked cam car and the food delivery rider entering the scene.
The rider stops beside the vehicle and engages with the driver.
“Do you know how to drive?” the rider asked while the vehicle driver asked what was wrong.
The rider explained that the driver had cut him earlier.
“What are you talking about?” the driver asked.
The rider shouted some expletives before leaving the area.
It was then revealed through the cam car’s rear camera that another vehicle had cut the rider earlier.
The footage showed a Toyota Vios overtaking the rider while the latter was about to make a turn.
It appears that the cam car did not block or cut the rider’s path at any point in the video.
Members from the online community pointed out that it was time for stricter regulations against such riders who act like “it’s their grandfather’s roads.”
“A lot of these PMD riders and cyclists always like to use ‘the play victim or I am vulnerable and if you stand in my way…you will get it from me’ ace cards to fault the drivers when they themselves often break the rules and regulations set by LTA (Land Transport Authority),” said Facebook user Kenneth Chan.
“Grab and Foodpanda should enforce all PMD riders and cyclists to sit for road safety lessons. Only those who pass the theory test are allowed to do delivery jobs,” added Facebook user Hola La. /TISG
