The schoolboy tumbled out of the car and was in a daze before a traffic warden checked on him.

Netizens who watched the dashcam footage warned the driver to be more careful before driving off.

Student tumbles out of silver Volkswagen

Dashcam footage of the incident was shared on the ROADS.sg Facebook page on Thursday (20 Jan).

In what looks like the wee hours of the morning, a student was about to alight from a silver Volkswagen at the school’s drop-off point.

Before he was even able to set foot on the ground, the vehicle moved off, causing the student to lose his balance.

The student took a hefty fall and laid on his back for a few seconds, staring at the car in disbelief.

All in all, however, many seemed relieved that the boy was alright.

Be wary of your surroundings

Any parent who drives their child to school would be able to attest to the stressful nature of dropping your kid off.

Nevertheless, it’s important to take some time to pause and check your surroundings before making any moves.

Hopefully, the driver will remember to do that the next time they’re making a drop-off.
