Sometimes, members of the general public can be a little unhelpful:

But a video uploaded to Facebook page ROADS.sg on May 28 shows a Deliveroo driver who paused his journey at a traffic junction to help an elderly man in a wheelchair.

According to the dashcam and Facebook caption, the incident occurred on May 27 at 8:20pm at the junction between Tampines Ave 9 and Tampines St 42.
