SINGAPORE - Drivers on Singapore roads appear to be reckless, selfish, uncivil and belligerent, judging from the number of stories of accidents
and road-rage incidents submitted lately by citizen journalists to Stomp. The prevalence of in-vehicle cameras has led to an increase in reports
about bad driving. Take, for example, the case of a driver of a blue Honda who refused to give way to an ambulance. The report of what he did
drew considerable flak from Stompers after the story appeared in the website's citizen-journalism section, Singapore Seen.
Despite the ambulance's blaring siren, the Honda stayed in its lane, forcing the ambulance to squeeze its way through from the left.
Stomper Christine alerted Stomp to the driver's brazen behaviour, which had been recorded on video and uploaded on YouTube by user zeHuggable.
Echoing the sentiments of many Stompers, Christine called for the Honda driver to be punished, citing a clause in the Public Order Act which states
that a person who obstructs the passage of any ambulance may be fined up to $10,000 or imprisoned for up to six months, or both.
Here are other instances of drivers behaving badly.
