Posted on 10 Jan 2013

STOMPer Louie is appealing for witnesses after he crashed his motorcycle into a car because the driver slowed down after changing lanes suddenly.

The STOMPer wrote: "I am appealing for witnesses to an accident that happened along CTE towards Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 at about 1.30pm on Jan 9 2013.

I suffered abrasions and a swollen knee and had to stay one night in the hospital. "An aunty driving a Kia Cerato changed lanes and came into my lane

and slowed down when I was going straight. "I could not brake on time and crashed into her car from the rear. "When she approached me, I asked her

why she drove like that? Cannot exit at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 and exit at the next one? "She told me she wanted to exit, but when CISCO came, she told the

officers she changed into my lane and wanted to exit at Ang Mo Kio Ave 1. "Even if she wanted to exit at Ang Mo Kio Ave 1, do you think I will risk my

wife's life and mine to go crash into her?? "Think about it. Be honest to yourself about what you did that caused this accident. "She shifted her car after

the accident. When CISCO asked her why she shifted she claimed that she didn't know cannot shift, and was afraid to obstruct the traffic.

Source: The New Paper

The pedestrian who was hit at Serangoon Road by a car reversing into a parking lot on New Year's Day planned to wed on Jan 19. Now the bride-to-be is in hospital with a skull fracture and other head injuries after being hit by the car.

At around 5.30pm that day, Miss Lim went with her fiance to an eatery near Farrer Park MRT station, but went back to her home as she had forgotten to take something.

It was then that the car, which was parking at Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple in Serangoon Road, reversed into her from the main road, throwing her into the vehicle's rear windscreen, shattering it.

She is now unable to cancel the ceremony as it means she will forfeit the money from the hotel and will have to inform all their guests. Miss Lim says she will ask to leave the hospital for her wedding.

'QX car' causes taxi's side mirror to bend after refusing to give way

Posted on 30 Jan 2013

STOMPer Peter sent in a video showing the driver of an unmarked 'QX car' refusing to give way to a taxi driver who made

a signal to change lanes. The driver of the car even went as far as to drive so closeto the taxi that theside mirror was bent.

The STOMPer had come across the video on YouTube, which was titled "Unruly driver of Singapore unmarked police car".

However, the Police has made a check and has confirmed that the car does not belong to the Singapore Police Force.

The police also says that they are looking into the matter. STOMP understands that cars marked with a QX licence plates

are from emergency and law-enforcement agencies, which include the Singapore Police Force, Singapore Civil Defence Force

and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority. The incident apparently happened on Jan 29, at 3.13pm, as shown on the

video's time stamp. The taxi driver, who was already changing lanes, waited for the traffic to move before trying to do so again.

However, when the lane cleared, the driver of the unmarked QX car drove up next to the taxi once more. This time, the driver

drove so near to the taxi that the side mirror was bent in the process. The STOMPer said in an email: "I'm appalled by the

sad behaviour of the driver of a QX car. "It happened along Holland Road at about 3.15pm on 29 Jan, 2013.

"It was clear that the unmarked car driver behaved in an unruly, ungracious and 'road bully' attitude towards the taxi driver.

"He even drove so near that the side mirror bent the taxi's side mirror!"

@Help2reply,

How do you know that the driver is a high ranking officer? How do you know that the person using the handicap lot is a fake police man?

I do agree that stomp will be a more credible site without people who speculate, spread rumours, hauling wild allegations, usig of vulgarities, being racist and having an axe to grind!

hatelamerz said on 31 Jan, 2013 Report as offensive

@goodguyfj,

It is true that the driver is ungracious. But do you know what is road bully? You need to read up your Road Traffic Act before making allegations.

If you are a driver and you were to come across such ungracious drivers, will you force yourself into others lane or you stop and wait for other chance? Why must mati mati go in front of that ungracious driver?

Woman cyclist crosses road during red light, forcing driver to jam car brakes

STOMPer Richard caught sight of a young female cyclist who rode her bicycle across a pedestrian crossing when the traffic light was not in her favour. An incoming vehicle also had to hit the brakes to avoid hitting her, said the STOMPer.

Said the STOMPer:

"Cyclist's daredevil attempt.

"This evening (Feb 2) about 6.30pm at Toa Payoh Lorong 4, I saw this young lady cyclist crossing the pedestrian crossing when the light was not in her favour.

"About mid way, an incoming vehicle had to jam its brakes to avoid hitting her.

"Think more education and traffic cameras must be installed at junctions especially in housing estates."

The photos were edited by the STOMPer.

man_rode_bicycle_into_mrt_station_and_boarded_train-thumbnail.jpg

A STOMPer caught sight of a man who cycled into an MRT station and even boarded the train without folding his bicycle. The old man was also not stopped by the staff there, said the STOMPer.

Said the STOMPer:

"I just want to share what I saw Jan 26, 2013 in the afternoon.

"An old man was seen cycling his way into Little India MRT station. He did not fold up his bicycle and I am not sure if this is the foldable type.

"A staff member wearing a polo T-shirt was stationed near the ticket gate (where communters need to tap in and out). He did not stop the old man from further cycling. Instead the old man cycled his way to the lift and took thelift down to the platform.

"It was crowded at that time as it was during the Thaipusam festival.

"The old man pushed his bicycle into the already-crowded train and commuters inside the train had to give space to the old man and his bicycle when the train door closing was sounding.

"Why didn't the staff member stop the old man from cycling inside the train station?"
