A video emerged online showing a driver driving recklessly along the Central Expressway (CTE) on the morning of 20 February.
The driver was seen suddenly switching lanes without signalling, and switching back and forth between lanes and almost hitting two motorcyclists.
The car also looked like it was tailgating the two motorcycles, and the whole incident was captured on the dashcam of another car that was behind at the time.
The incident happened on 20 February at about 9.30am.
A motorcycle was seen approaching two cars on the right lane, and the offending car then suddenly drifts to the right, towards the motorcyclist, who had to ride towards the right to avoid being hit.
The driver then switches back on to the left lane, just as another oncoming motorcycle was approaching, and almost hit the second motorcyclist as well.
Towards the end of the video, the car appeared to be giving chase to the two motorcyclists and continuing to swerve in between the lanes.
