A Singapore Uncensored reader send in an encounter with a driver who almost knocked over several pedestrians.

Here is the what the netizen said:

“Inpatient driver of vehicle number: GBK8777H Toyota/Dyna 150 almost knocked down a few pedestrians when the green man light was indicative.

What triggered my anger was he still had the cheek to hand gesture to the pedestrian that is our fault for not crossing fast enough while it is still the green man indication.

If the driver wishes to knock down people eagerly, kindly go become a crash test driver and don’t become a family killer.
