Driver Makes Illegal Turn At Tampines On 20 Dec And Points Middle Fingers At Motorist

Navigating Singapore’s traffic can at times cause our blood pressure to spike, as witnessed in multiple incidents earlier this year — motorists often clash for a number of reasons, leading to petty confrontations.

Such was the case recently in Tampines, when a driver allegedly made an illegal right turn and nearly collided with another vehicle.

When called out, however, the drivers made no qualms about flashing the finger at the other motorist.

As the other vehicle dangerously cut ahead of the camcar, the driver of the latter sounded the horn.

Without warning, the Mitsubishi Outlander came to an abrupt stop, and the driver subsequently disembarked from the vehicle to confront the motorist.

Both seemingly exchanged heated words before the driver of the white Mitsubishi retreated. Right before re-entering his vehicle, he repeatedly pointed his middle finger at the other driver.
