Driver allegedly flees scene
The driver of the camcar reported to SG Road Vigilante that the Malaysian-registered car did not stop after the incident.
While thankful that “no one was hurt”, he expressed that “reckless driving should be punished”.
However, they noted that their in-car dashcam had poor visibility and an invalid timestamp, so they are now seeking advice from netizens about the next steps to take.
Netizens’ reactions mostly mixed
The incident has sparked mixed reactions from netizens.
Many pointed out that while the Malaysian-registered car driver clearly violated traffic rules, the driver of the camcar had ample time to brake and avoid the collision.
