PMD Rider Bumps Into Car Along Bukit Batok East Ave 4

In most cases, road users involved in an accident would stay at the scene to exchange particulars.

However, that was not the case when a PMD rider bumped into a car at a crossing in Bukit Batok.

On Sunday (20 Feb) night, the car was approaching the junction when a PMD rider who failed to comply with the traffic lights bumped into his vehicle.

At the moment of the incident, the traffic lights were green, indicating to the driver that they can proceed. However, the discretionary right turn was turned red, perhaps confusing the PMD rider.

After the incident, the driver snapped photos of what appears to be a slight dent on his front bumper.

Hope rider reaches out to make amends

In this day and age, it’s hard to escape responsibility on the road when everyone is armed with their own dashcam.

Although it’s unclear what the driver intends to do next, we hope the PMD rider would do the sensible thing and reach out to make amends.
