M’SIA BUS BEATS RED LIGHT @ WOODLANDS THEN GETS STUCK AFTER MOUNTING KERB

On Tuesday morning, a Malaysian factory bus was observed beating a red light at a traffic junction along Woodlands Avenue 12 before mounting the kerb at the side of the road.

The incident was recorded by what appears to be a motorcyclist who was nearby at the time and shared on the Facebook page of SG Road Vigilante.

Potential penalties

It is an offence to beat a red light in Singapore.

Drivers found guilty of failing to conform to traffic light signals face a composition fine of $400 for light vehicles and $500 for heavy vehicles.

They also face 12 demerit points and if a driver accumulates 24 or more demerit points within 24 months, their license will be suspended.

Netizens’ comments

1. Some allowances should be given to the heavy vehicle in a counter a traffics control junction as these big moving body needed little big longer in turn especially a sharp corner .
   A traffic police officer need to consider the cases before summon him
2. Impose a BAN entry for this Vehicle n Driver for dangerous driving offences
3. And MOE want to increase quota for foreign drivers to ferry children.Well done.I clap for you
4. Why do they behave like this in sg?
   No offence to Malaysian friends. But if you drive like this in Malaysia, don’t bring your unsafe habits to sg. Yes Singaporeans like to follow rules, that’s why we are safe here.

Another driver was seen in a viral video back in April beating a red light on the road and almost taking the lives of a father and child who were crossing the road at the time.

TikTok user @frangaroo posted a video of the incident, showing the van trying to beat the red light at a traffic junction in Serangoon North, just as a pedestrian who was carrying a child was crossing the road.

The van narrowly avoided running over the pedestrian and stopped just in time to prevent a collision.
