Talk about doing something stupid and not being able to get away with it because it is all on camera.

Fail right turn

A yellow Toyota C-HR, believed to be a private-hire vehicle, failed badly while making a right turn at high speed and ended up driving straight into the pedestrian path by the road junction.

Fortunately, there were no pedestrians at that time as it was in the wee hours of the morning.

Fail escape

The incident took place on Sunday, May 20, at about 2.45am at the junction of Sembawang Road and Yishun Avenue 5.

After mounting the pedestrian path and digging up some dirt, the car bounced back onto the road.

The yellow car then attempted to make a run for it, but got stuck at the next traffic light, according to footage from the dashboard camera that was shared online.

SLS9302C wanna show off cornering skills then this happened. Driver was lucky there's no pedestrian there waiting to cross the road at that timing. Paiseh already then sped off but in the end got stuck at the 2nd traffic light.

The latest update on the post said a police report has been made against the driver.
