Two cars 'play catching' in Woodlands, seen swerving & driving against traffic

Two cars were spotted playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse in Woodlands, swerving recklessly in the wee hours of the morning.

Dashcam footage shared on the SGRV Front Man Facebook page showed the moment a GetGo car, a Toyota Sienta, cut abruptly into another lane and e-braked in front of the camcar.

The GetGo car was then seen swerving between lanes, seemingly trying to block the vehicle behind.

At one point, the other car managed to filter left and pass the Sienta.

However, later footage showed the Sienta approaching from the right, driving against traffic just to overtake the camcar, before swerving back in front of it and stopping completely.

The camcar driver swerved to avoid a collision - also briefly going against traffic - before the video cut off.

Incident reportedly happened in Woodlands at 3am

According to the video caption, the incident took place in Woodlands at around 3am on April 14. It's since gone viral, with over 470 reactions and 240 comments.

While most netizens condemned the Sienta's reckless actions, some speculated that the camcar driver might have done something earlier to provoke the encounter.

One commented: "Sienta driver is wrong for driving that way. But I believe camcar driver is no angel too. There must be something [that] happened between them."

Many also urged the authorities to take action, saying such reckless drivers have no place on the roads as they endanger lives.

A GetGo spokesman told The New Paper that the user has been permanently banned from using GetGo. The car-sharing company has also filed a report with the police.

"We believe that any form of unsafe driving behaviour on the road is unacceptable, and we will take necessary actions against GetGo users who fail to practice safe driving and adhere to Singapore's road traffic regulations," said the spokesman.
