How are things like this still happening?

A BMW almost caused an accident along Tanah Merah Flyover after it was driving against the flow of traffic.

The incident, which happened in the late afternoon of Feb. 15, was caught on camera by a driver, Shaun Tan, who was going in the opposite correct direction.

Tan also helpfully posted a map of where the incident happened:

However, this was not the end of the BMW's woes.

Later on, the same BMW was caught travelling against the flow of traffic again, this time at East Coast Park Car Park F3.

Once again, another helpful map was put up by Tan:

And here's the video:

So,'>
near death experience today thanks to this dumb schmuck. Silver BMW, license plate SJY5760G. Thank God for the GTI's good brakes, quick steering and grippy tyres (not to mention my surprisingly snappy reflexes). Does anyone know the best way to find or report this piece of shit?Now for the story. I was driving along Changi Coast Rd onto Tanah Merah Flyover (towards the ECP in the direction of the City), listening to Trivium's "Silence in the Snow" album (great album, by the way), when I notice, first, a dude standing with his bicycle on the right side of the road (stupid, but lucky chap), then (more alarmingly) a BMW driving AGAINST TRAFFIC up the slip road from the ECP Service Rd. The first half of the video more or less speaks for itself from that point. (See Diagram 1 in comments.) I kinda wish I had the sound on, because my screeching tyres really gave me that "Hollywood car chase" vibe..Anyway, after dodging the fool, I pulled into heavy vehicle park to sort out some warning lights on my dashboard, then rejoined the ECP Service Rd to carry on home. Lo and behold, I found myself behind the same sotong. Not intentional, I swear. Here's where the second part comes in. After driving the entire stretch of the ECP Service Rd, our driving champ once again drives AGAINST TRAFFIC at around Car Park F3. Since driving against traffic is generally a bad idea, I decided against following him further. Honestly, I have no bloody idea where he was intending to go after that, because, looking at Google Maps, that's about 1km in wrong frickin' direction! (See Diagram 2 in comments.)Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go retrieve my testicles from my throat..
