Singaporean drivers clash in road rage incident at Johor CIQ
JOHOR BARU: A petty road spat between two Singapore-registered Honda drivers escalated into a full-blown shoving match at the land checkpoint here on May 31. A one-minute-17-second clip of the road rage incident, which also showed both men kicking each other's vehicles, is believed to have been captured by another motorist's dashcam and later posted on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page. The incident, which occurred at 2.30am, involved a white Honda Vezel and a black Honda Fit, both Singapore-registered, in near-standstill traffic at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complexes at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI). In the video, the Vezel driver, clad in a white T-shirt and shorts, is seen stepping out of his vehicle to confront the Fit driver, who was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts. As the latter opened his door, the man in white kicked it, sparking a brief but aggressive shoving match. A woman from the Vezel and two men from the Fit rushed to defuse the situation, but not before more door-kicking and finger-jabbing played out, all in the middle of slow-moving traffic. The altercation further irritated motorists already stuck in the early-morning jam. The clip ends there, but netizens were quick to weigh in. Some condemned the display of machismo, pointing out that traffic at the checkpoint was bad enough without "two Honda drivers playing Street Fighter". Others advised motorists to "leave the drama on Netflix, not in JB". One commenter quipped that the saga probably ended with both men hugging it out at a nearby petrol station, after realising Malaysia's fuel prices were too good to fight over. Meanwhile, Johor Baru South police chief, Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat, said that, as of press time, no police reports had been lodged by either party.

Singapore Drivers Fight at Causeway Checkpoint
TWO Singapore-registered Honda vehicles were involved in a physical altercation at a Malaysian immigration checkpoint, according to footage shared on social media. According to SG Road Vigilante on its Facebook post, the confrontation took place during the early hours of May 31 (Saturday) at approximately 2.30am, featuring a white Honda Vezel and a black Honda Fit, both bearing Singapore number plates. Dashboard camera recordings from a nearby vehicle captured the incident as it unfolded in the congested checkpoint area, with both cars moving slowly in adjacent lanes. The footage reveals that tensions were already escalating between the drivers through hand gestures before the situation deteriorated further. The dispute intensified when the white Vezel attempted to merge into the black Honda Fit's lane, prompting the Vezel's driver to exit his vehicle. The man, wearing white clothing, approached the Fit aggressively while making threatening gestures toward the other driver. As the situation escalated, the Fit's driver, dressed in black, opened his door to step out, at which point the Vezel driver grabbed the door and delivered a kick to it. The confrontation then moved onto the roadway, where the man in white physically pushed his opponent backward, initiating a scuffle. A female passenger from the Vezel attempted to intervene and de-escalate the situation, while two additional men emerged from the Fit to join the fray. The incident devolved into a group altercation with multiple participants pushing each other as the woman continued her efforts to restore order. Majority netizens stood out to condemn the act by both drivers. Facebook user Mohd Barak suggested the Singapore government to enact a new law fining or temporarily ban anyone from entering Johor Baru if caught fighting at checkpoints.

Pedestrian struck by right-turning car at Upper Thomson junction; police investigating
SINGAPORE: A pedestrian was hit by a right-turning car while crossing at the junction of Marymount Road and Upper Thomson Road Wednesday afternoon (May 28), sparking public concern over road safety and driver attentiveness. The Singapore Police Force confirmed that a report had been lodged and that investigations are currently ongoing. No further details were released on the condition of the pedestrian. The incident came to public attention after a video was shared in the Facebook group SG Road Vigilante, which often posts footage of traffic incidents across the island. According to the group, the accident occurred at approximately 1:16pm. In the video, a pedestrian wearing a black top and holding an umbrella is seen walking on the designated crossing when a car, making a right turn, fails to slow down and strikes the individual. The footage has since garnered widespread attention online. The video triggered a flurry of comments from netizens, with many condemning the driver's apparent lack of caution. 'Don't people look at the side of the road when they turn now?' wrote one commenter. Another asked, 'Is the driver looking at his phone or navigation?' Others expressed disbelief, questioning how the driver could miss seeing someone with an umbrella in broad daylight. However, not all responses were critical. A few commenters suggested that the driver's view might have been momentarily blocked—possibly by a roadside bollard or other visual obstruction. Some also reminded pedestrians to remain vigilant, with one noting, 'I always look both ways even when it's my right of way.'

Good Samaritans rush to assist motorcyclist after accident in Woodlands, Singapore News
Passers-by rushed to the aid of a motorcyclist who found himself stuck under his vehicle in the middle of a busy intersection following an accident. The motorcyclist had collided with a truck in Woodlands on Thursday (May 15), according to a video posted to Facebook group SG Road Vigilante on Friday. In the one minute, 57-second video, the motorcyclist can be seen taking a right turn at the junction of Woodlands Ave 12 and 5. But as he attempts to hang right, he fails to take the turn and drives into the lane on his left, colliding with the rear of a truck and losing control of his vehicle. The motorcyclist skids and tumbles to the ground, unable to get to his feet. The driver whose vehicle was right behind the motorcyclist during the accident, and who also shared the video on Facebook, stopped his vehicle immediately and rushed over to help him. Soon, a passer-by crossed the junction and joined in the effort. While the two extricated the motorcyclist from under his bike, three more people joined in to provide assistance. "I came out and did a quick check on him and he was semi-conscious and to ensure he's not being pinned down by his own bike," the driver said, adding that the motorcyclist might have been in shock. "I'm grateful that a few kind souls came to his aid... Sorry, uncle, that I could not stay and assist as my car is blocking the intersection," he added, addressing the motorcyclist. While some netizens blamed the motorcyclist for the accident, others praised the driver and passers-by for their kind-heartedness in helping him. "Thanks to the kind people who came to help the fallen motorcyclist. No matter who is at fault, we are human," said one. Another commented: "Well done for looking out for each other, road users... saving lives is important, but it should not be at the expense of yourself. Well done, need more kind souls like you on the road." "Thumbs up to the driver for helping... need more people like him and [also like] the rest who helped," a user also applauded. Responding to queries from AsiaOne, the police said that they were alerted to an accident involving a lorry and motorcycle at the junction of Woodlands Ave 5 and 12 at around 7.20am on Thursday. A 66-year-old motorcyclist was taken conscious to the hospital and he is assisting with ongoing investigations. [[nid:716568]] khooyihang@
