Let’s face it; we all want to see justice served.

As long as we aren’t on the receiving end, that is.

And this incident I’m about to describe to you, more or less exemplifies the less than politically correct theory I stated above.

Just yesterday (21 Dec), Facebook page ROADS.sg uploaded a video to the social media site, in which a rule-violating E-Scooter rider was caught by a nearby LTA officer.

And in my boss’ words, it’s oddly satisfying to watch.

What happened?

It’s unclear when the incident happened.

What’s clear, however, is that the person behind the video had been driving along Macpherson Road towards Upper Paya Lebar Road, when he spotted le wild E-Scooter rider to his left.

Lest you’re unaware, E-Scooters are not allowed on the road.

Which means yes, that guy’s committing an offence.

But this situation’s kinda different from the rest, in the sense that Mr Karma seemed to be in the area.

How else could an…

Honest to goodness LTA officer be right there?

Naturally, the LTA officer caught sight of him, and started maneuvering towards the culprit.

The culprit, perhaps having noticed LTA’s version of Cerberus, started veering towards the correct path route.

But it was too late.

The video does not actually contain any audio, and the captions are probably a figment of what the video poster expected the LTA officer to say.

The video poster’s conclusion?

Possible summon, or the impounding of the scooter.

Response

Netizens shared their thoughts on the post, and it’s largely divided.

Some requested for a heavier fine to deter any further incidents from happening:

But some disagreed:

Regardless, I doubt these incidents are going to end anytime soon. They are going to keep happening, and I’m going to keep writing about them till I’m more well-versed with e-scooters than my actual degree subject.

Yet even still, I hope these articles will penetrate even one rule-violating e-scooter user’s heart, and convince him/her not to take to the road.

If that happens, then I’m glad.

And no, it’s not because I helped stop crime or any of that Batman jugglewoggle.

I just feel glad that there’s one less a**hole on the road that might take my life.

Since you’re here, why not watch a video about a guy who lodged a Police report here in Singapore because he was friendzoned? Seriously. Here, watch it and do remember to share it (and also subscribe to Goody Feed YouTube channel)!
