Had an encounter at abt 2120hrs along SLE along woodland exit. was
entering SLE from BKE and there was this MERC driver (50+ yr old
man) in front of me. he was travelling in front of me in Lane 1. As
I close up to him, he suddenly slowed down and then suddenly stop.
imagine stopping in lane 1. naturally, I horned and highlighed him
as those car behind me was also horning me and highlighting
me.(Note: I had not highlighed at him b4 this nor was i too close
to him, my car is still abt 1 car length away) . He then start to
pick up his speed to 80 kmh. After traveling past the first exit to
woodlands. I overtake him from the lane 2 as he is still in lane 1.
I horned him again and show him with my hand with the intentation
of asking him why did he brake suddenly. The next come
unexpectedly. he suddenly swerved his car into my lane, forcing me
to switch lane and nearly causing me to lost control of my car.
this did not end, as I regained control of my car. he again swerved
his car at me, forcing me to take evasive action again.this
continue all the way until he force me off to the grass road side
of woodland ave 12 exit. HE then stepped out of his car and accused
me of highlighting at him and showing him the middle finger. I have
my wife as witness that I did not show him the middle finger. but
come on. if some one showed you a middle finger. does it warrant
you to swerved into him and nearly cause him to have a accident. I
try to calm him down, but he was very hot headed and took down my
car nos and said that he is going to yishun police post to make a
police report. I say fine, we can go together and I will also make
a dangerous driving against him. Followed him all the way to
sembawang, seem that he decided to go home and not to yishun as he
headed into old sembawang road.
Went to sembawang NPC to make a police report . Had been advised to
make a dangerous report against him tomorrow at UBI.
Would like to appeal for any witness that saw what happened to come
forward and help me have a report of dangerous driving. there was a
few cars behind us. luckily, I did not hit into anyone when he
swerved into my lane.
He was driving a silver merc E240.Mine is a silver bugeye.
Thanks
TO those that saw the action. you will see that he purposely
swerved into my lane not once but quite a few time and you can see
that I nearly lost control of my car swinging from away from him to
avoid him.
