Man using phone & crossing Marine Parade road gets honked at, hits car’s bonnet

A man who was crossing the road in Marine Parade while using his phone got angry after an oncoming car honked to alert him.

When he noticed the car, he immediately stopped and hit the car's bonnet twice, appearing angry.

The video of the encounter was captured and uploaded to the Facebook group SG Road Vigilante on Nov. 16.

What happened

According to the post caption, the driver had just exited a condominium after picking up a passenger.

While crossing the road, the man was apparently engrossed in his phone and did not notice the car approaching.

The driver explained that other pedestrians had stopped as it was not a zebra crossing.

However, when he honked to alert the man, the individual became "aggressive" and struck the car bonnet.

What video showed

In the footage, the man is seen crossing the road while using his phone.

After seeming to hear the honk, he looks up, walks toward the car, and hits the bonnet twice.

He then continues crossing the road but keeps staring at the driver.

Comments on the post criticised the man, pointing out his recklessness and the rise in recent cases of traffic accidents.

An accident between a woman using her phone and a vehicle recently occurred three days ago, on Nov. 13.
