Good evening folks, I will be your host today for the PMD (Problematic Motorists Daily), where we share news of motorists doing their best to give a bad name to other motorists.
Yes, it’s that time of the day again.
This time, the original video is by Fardee Abd on Facebook on 28 July 2019, which has now received 274k views and over 4.5k shares.
4 PMD riders riding like their father own the road
Riding on the open road is one of the best feelings ever. Feel the wind brush against your body, as you speed through the road with no one stopping you. It’s the feeling of freedom and autonomy. No one can tell you how to live.
Except, such a road doesn’t exist in Singapore unless (arguably even if) your father owns the road. In the 1 minute long video, you can hear car honk sounds in the entire video, and you can see why from the PMD riders’ behaviour.
The video starts with the PMD rider at the back turning his head to check on the car honking behind. The footage is shot by Fardee Abd, while Fardee’s father is the one driving the honking car.
In the footage, you can see the 4 PMD riders switching lanes constantly and circling around randomly. On 2 of the PMDs, you can even see pillion riders sitting in front of the one controlling the PMD.
From the footage, you can see light from the car being shone unto the PMDs.
It is unknown if they just happen to be going the same direction, but the driver here follow the 4 PMDs.
It can’t be seen very clearly, but in the original video caption, it is said the rider gave Fardee and his father the finger.
Near a turn, one of the PMD riders rode into the hatched divider leading to the zebra crossings.
And finally, at the zebra crossing, the PMD riders stop to join pedestrians. Fardee here says “Bro, good job ar good job!” while his father says “Oi! Good ar? Very nice!”
Netizen comments are mixed
Some netizens are supportive of the driver’s filming and honking, though some of these comments may be a bit extreme.
A comment noted that there isn’t much a reason for the PMDs to be on the road since they could be using the park connectors.
One noted that the PMDs are going as fast a regular vehicle, but they aren’t considered vehicles.
Others questioned the actions of the driver, pointing to the high beam, recording and honking which can potentially cause harm.
Here’s a personal opinion: from watching the video, it seems like Fardee’s vehicle is deliberately moving slower than usual and with the PMD switching lanes it is very hard to overtake.
Overtaking will be more dangerous, but I could be wrong here. But in any case.
PMDs are not allowed on roads
Duh. That includes e-scooters.
First-time offenders can be fined up to S$2,000 or imprisonment for up to 3 months, or both.
But, of course, both sides have valid points: PMD shouldn’t be on the road and the car shouldn’t have done that. It’s dangerous.
Such incidents can be reported to LTA using the MyTransport.SG mobile app from July 31.
The father-son-duo meant well (probably) but like people say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
