Car stops tailgater from exiting without paying parking fees

The recording shows the camcar exiting a carpark at an undisclosed HDB estate.

This didn’t go unnoticed by the camcar driver.

After getting their CashCard scanned at the gantry, they deliberately stopped their vehicle for a moment.

It seemed they were doing so to block the driver behind them from getting away with free parking by tailing behind.

When he realised what was happening, the Citroën driver exited his vehicle and started chasing after the camcar, furiously shaking his fist in the air as the latter zoomed off.

Realising that his efforts to run after the camcar would be in vain, he stopped and walked back to his vehicle.

 

At that moment, the barrier came down, preventing him from exiting without paying his parking fee.

Netizens were quick to ridicule the tailgater in the video and praise the camcar driver for their actions.

Many said that other drivers should do the same to, in the words of this commenter, “teach a lesson to all these cheapos”.
