The Singapore-Johor Bahru (JB) Checkpoints are always busy and motorists are often stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic — even moreso when it’s raining.
On Sunday (13 Nov), Facebook group SG Road Vigilante shared a video of a Singapore-registered Honda trying to change lanes at the packed JB Checkpoint.
But in the process of doing so, the Honda hit a Malaysia-registered Toyota, not just once, but twice.
The video later went viral and netizens urged motorists to be more gracious on the road.
