Though the Formula 1 championship has been cancelled this year, the racing fever still lingers in the air.
Two racing enthusiasts were caught on camera, putting their F1 driving skills to the test on Singapore’s roads.
The date: 27 Aug 2020.
The racing pit: CTE
Race time: Around 6.50pm
2 cars racing each other, swerving around other cars on the road
While the rest of us were dragging our tired bodies back home after work, the two drivers were racing against each other along the busy expressway.
The driver of the yellow Mercedes was seen swerving its way around other cars on the CTE, with the other driver following dangerously close at its tail.
The chase lasted for a few minutes before the black car driver caught up. Both drivers continued driving along the CTE thereafter.
Same yellow Mercedes spotted at accident scene along KPE
Coincidentally, the same yellow Mercedes car was also spotted at an accident scene on 21 Aug.
The Mercedes car driver was switching lane along KPE when it collided with a Comfort Delgro taxi.
The back of the taxi was damaged as a result of the crash.
Seems like the driver has a knack for the fast and furious.
If you find “CTE” and “accident” familiar, that’s because a similar one happened along CTE in July too:
In this case, the accident was more severe as it resulted in a van overturning and veering off the road.
Increase in the number of speeding-related accidents in 2019
Based on Singapore Police Force’s 2019’s Annual Road Traffic Situation statistics, there was a slight increase in the number of speeding-related accidents by 1.3% to 728 cases in 2019, as compared to 719 cases in 2018.
The number of speeding violations also increased by 16.4% to 183,059 cases in 2019, from 157,312 cases in 2018.
It just goes to show that there’s still a fair bit of reckless drivers out there, who are potentially endangering the lives of other drivers and pedestrians.
Feedback on road users
Should you encounter dangerous drivers out on the road, you can make a report via the Singapore Police Force’s site. The feedback also entails having the witness agreeing to testify in court for the reported incident.
So stay safe and be on high alert while driving or crossing the roads.
