A driver in Singapore stopped his car for about a minute-and-a-half to tell a personal mobility device (PMD) rider to get off the road.

A video of the interaction was uploaded to Road.sg YouTube channel.

Driver stopped PMD rider on the road

In the video, a PMD rider is seen casually riding along the road with a woman seated in front of him.

Initially, he was riding behind the driver's car.

But when he passed by the car, the driver rolled down his window and can be heard saying: "Don't ride on the road!"

The rider overtook the car and did not respond.

Subsequently, the driver honked and both of them stopped at a nearby bus stop.

It is unclear where exactly the incident occurred.

The conversation

The driver proceeded to call out the rider for his actions.

He said: "Bro you're not allowed to ride on the road, you know? It's illegal, right?"

The rider stated that he knows it is illegal, to which driver replied: “Then why are you still doing the illegal thing?”

At one point, the rider apologised for his actions, but the driver said: “This kind of thing don’t need to apologise. You know it’s illegal, you don’t do it on the road.”

The back-and-forth conversation became repetitive, with the driver continuously questioning the rider's actions.

“You don’t ride on the road. It’s not legal. You get what I mean or not? You see my car on the pavement or not?”

Can you obey traffic rules like all of us are doing?

You are not allowed to ride more than 20kg also, right?

Why are you doing the obvious?

You know it’s obviously wrong and you are still doing it.”

Eventually, after about a minute-and-a-half, the rider and the woman seated in front of him moved to the pavement and continued their journey.

E-scooter banned from footpaths

The incident happened on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 1.08am.

This was before the ban on electric scooters (e-scooters) was put in place.

From Nov. 5, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is prohibiting all e-scooters from public footpaths.

This means that if the incident were to happen after Nov. 5, the rider would not have been able to ride on the pavement too.

Since the implementation of the ban, e-scooters will only be allowed on cycling and park connector network paths.

In addition, users caught riding e-scooters on public footpaths from Jan. 1, 2020 onwards will face fines of up to S$2,000 and/ or imprisonment of up to three months.
