Anybody else in this forum happened to be travelling on
CTE towards town and is near Balestier exit at around 3:25 ~ 3:30am
today?
WTF? I encountered the same reckless driver(possibly drunk), not
once but twice within ten or so minutes.
1st encounter with the vehicle was when I just exited the CTE at
Moulmien exit, right turn onto Moulmien, heading in the Balestier,
Upper Serangoon direction(sending a pax to Moonstone Lane). @ about
3:22am I noticed a vehicle just ahead of me(it was already
travelling on Moulmien) hazard lights on, and swerving in and out
of the 2nd and 3rd lane for a short distance. Can't be certain if
that guy was drunk because the lights happened to be red at the
Balestier/Moulmien junction and the swerving is only for a short
distance. Uncertain but it already caught my attention. There were
6 or 7 vehicles stopping at the lights at that time.
Things started to get weird when the lights turn green, when all
the vehicles at the junction starts moving off to negotiate the
right turn onto Balestier, the suspected drunk driver again move
his vehicle erratically forcing 2 cabs next to him to suddenly
swerve away, apply emergency brake and one of them blasted the horn
at him.
That guy was spooked by the honk I think, and immediately sped
off, made a left turn into the CTE Balestier exit AGAINST the flow
of traffic!!!
Luckily there wasn't any oncoming traffic at that time, and the
said vehicle stopped about 20m into the slip road where a church
entrance is located so I thought he may have realized the mistake
and will try to make a u turn and I continued on my journey.
After dropping off my pax at Moonstone Lane at 3:26am, I drove
onto Upper Serangoon Road, turned left towards PIE/CTE, heading
towards town.
To my horror, about 10 minutes after the first encounter, that
vehicle is now driving at high speed towards me and all other
vehicles on CTE, everyone was dodging left and right trying to
avoid that idiot.
I stopped my cab and called 999 immediately, I'm hoping that
nobody is hurt in this incident and that the police can apprehend
the culprit.
