Audi driver stops traffic to give middle finger, becomes most famous driver in S'pore for Saturday evening

Both at fault?

If you plan to flip the bird at someone on the roads, please remember that in-car cameras are all the rage these days.

But it seems that one Audi driver has not gotten that memo.

Here's the situation which was submitted to Roads.sg:

1) Video-submitter Bobby wants to turn right into what looks like a car park entrance from the opposite side of the road.

2) However, there is a queue of cars waiting to turn left into the car park.

3) If the Bobby manages to squeeze into the car park, he could be construed as having cut the queue. But if he attempts to wait for the queue to clear, it may take quite some time, and people behind him may get impatient instead.

4) So Bobby spots a gap between a Toyota and an Audi and attempts to turn into the car park via the gap. It looked like the Audi was initially giving the Bobby space to turn in.

5) But nope, Audi speeds up to cut Bobby off.

6) When the Toyota drives further into the car park entrance, one would expect the Audi to move on as well so that Bobby can also get in line and not obstruct the dual carriage way.

7) Unfortunately, the video had no sound recording, so we do not know if Bobby honked at the Audi or if Bobby said or gestured something. But we can see that the Audi stopped right in front of the Bobby's car, despite having space to move forward. The Audi driver proceeded to roll his window down, flash his middle finger, and the rest is Internet history.

The Internet is split on who was in the wrong.

The "give way will die is it?" camp:

The "if I queue properly, why must I let people cut" camp:

The eternal debate of whether being gracious to people who seemingly break rules innocently rages on.
