Limousine Driver Punched & Kicked Car at Orchard Road Coz’ It Blocked His Way

What would you do if you were stuck in a jam and really had to pee?

1. Wait it out and find the nearest bathroom once the congestion clears
2. Hope your bladder takes a nap for five minutes
3. Pee your pants

Option number 1 is probably the one most of us would choose, but that’s not what Chad Tan Eng Hui did.

Instead, he went for option number 4: Punch and kick the vehicle in front of you.

Limousine Driver Punched & Kicked Car at Orchard Road Coz’ It Blocked His Way

At the time, the 27-year-old was working as a freelance limousine driver.

At about 6.30pm on 17 May 2019, Tan was in his vehicle near the Ion Orchard car park. He had been working for 11 hours before this, and urgently needed to relieve himself.

He had no time to look for a toilet, however, as he was on a tight schedule and had another job at Beach Road at 7pm.

As Tan tried to exit from Orchard Turn into Orchard Boulevard, another driver – a 60-year-old man – in front of him moved towards the Ion Orchard car park.

The roads were congested at the time, and traffic was slow-moving.

Since some motorists stopped in the yellow box at the junction, Tan couldn’t move out.

His anger only grew when the lights turned green and he still couldn’t move out as he was blocked by the 60-year-old who stopped in the yellow box.

Tan was furious as he thought the man had refused to give way to him, and so he got out of his car and kicked the front bumper of the victim’s car.

He also shouted and gestured aggressively.

Tan also struck the victim’s window at one point, demanding that it be lowered so he could be confronted about his driving.

He then kicked and punched the driver’s door, before returning to his car.

Fined $4,500 

Yesterday (8 July), the 27-year-old was fined S$4,500 after pleading guilty to one count of mischief, with a second charge of intentionally causing alarm taken into consideration.

His kicks and punches left dents on the front bumper and door of the victim’s car, and chipped off the paint as well.

A mechanic gave the victim a repair quotation of up to S$7,074.84, but he only got partial repairs amounting to S$550.

In addition, Tan repaid the victim S$3,500, which the 60-year-old man accepted as full and fair compensation for his loss.
