Driving at night when it is raining is already a daunting enough task for some, what with the slippery conditions and poorer visibility.

And imagine having your driver's reflexes tested when a child suddenly dashes across the road under these conditions right in front of you.

Child runs out when light is green

That was what exactly happened for one driver in Singapore while travelling along the one-way Bencoolen Street:

Based on the video's timestamp, the incident occurred on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at about 7.40pm.

The street has only two lanes but sees relatively heavy traffic at times that can lead to congestion.

In case you can't see the video, here it is:
