The police are investigating an incident involving a group of Honda Civic drivers who held a photoshoot of their vehicles on a public road near Lornie Road on Saturday (Mar 26).
Photos of the incident were shared by the Facebook page SG Road Vigilante – SGRV on Saturday. The community page warned other drivers using the Sime Underpass to take caution.
The photos showed several Honda fifth and sixth generations, which are popular among car enthusiasts, in various colours and modifications.
Two of the photos showcased the vehicles parked diagonally across one lane that is open for road users.
In another image, the Honda Civics were scattered across the entire underpass lanes while the drivers and passengers took photos.
According to a Straits Times report on Wednesday (Mar 30), it is unclear if the drivers had a permit to conduct a photoshoot in the area.
The post garnered mixed reactions among netizens, with many noting that the drivers acted as if it was their grandfather’s road.
Others said the photoshoot could have taken place at a safer venue like a carpark.
Yet others highlight said the vehicles were classic cars and should be commemorated. “Very old Honda Civic lah, if not take pics later no more already,” commented a netizen.
Another Facebook user said, “Actually, a bit double standard; imagine if it was Lambos or Ferraris doing these type of underpass shot, bet ya’ll wouldn’t be saying the same thing.”
Reports were filed against the drivers, and the police have confirmed that investigations are ongoing./TISG
