Drivers Get Into Heated Altercation On CTE After One Cuts In Front Of The Other
Navigating traffic can be stressful, sometimes leading to heated altercations if the parties involved allow their tempers to run unchecked.
Such was the case for a driver who allegedly cut off a fellow motorist along Yio Chu Kang Road while turning into the Central Expressway (CTE).
The motorist honked at him as he entered the lane, to which he allegedly flipped the former off.
Both drivers then stopped along the expressway to have a heated argument.
