Road rage is all the rage these days.
In a video submitted by a Mothership reader on Tuesday (Nov. 10), a man who is not wearing a mask was captured around 8.30am flipping off a driver after they had a very short argument.
Pedestrian holding a mask in hand
The incident happened on Tuesday morning near 20 Pasir Panjang at Mapletree Business City.
At the start of the 30-second video, all is fine with a pedestrian crossing behind another car on a road that did not have any markings indicating a path for pedestrians.
The car doing the video recording on the dashboard camera approached the pedestrian without slowing down to give way.
The pedestrian was not wearing a mask, but was holding a face mask in his right hand.
The pedestrian makes eye contact and approaches the driver side.
Some parts of the conversation between them can be heard.
Pedestrian: "Pedestrians first, man."
Driver: "This is not pedestrian, leh. Hello."
The pedestrian in the video told Mothership that there is a bumper to ensure drivers slow down before the area where pedestrians cross.
While there is no pedestrian crossing at that point, the pedestrian said that cars usually slow down to give way to those who are crossing, except for the driver in the video.
He also added that he was not wearing a mask as he was rushing to office when he encountered a rude driver who “did not want to give way”.
