Netizens argue over who is at fault
The incident has sparked debate among netizens.
Some called for the authorities to step in and charge the driver for attempting to harm the rider intentionally.
One user went so far as to say that the car driver had been trying to “kill” the motorist over a simple change of lanes.

Some also said that both motorists were at fault for the altercation.
Regardless of who was to blame for the argument, it could have been avoided if the driver had managed their emotions better.
Thankfully, no one sustained any injuries from the minor confrontation.
Hopefully, road users will take this incident as a reminder to exercise more patience and restraint when travelling around Singapore.
