A video emerged online showingn a driver insisting on entering a carpark that was full at the time, forcibly driving through a traffic cone.
An orange and white traffic cone was seen placed at the entrance of the carpark at the gantry area.. and the driver then drove ahead and ran over the cone, flattening it.
A man (presumed to be a passerby), was seen in the video trying to stop the driver and pointing out the flattened traffic cone to him.
The netizen who posted the video, captioned it:
Happened yesterday on National Day. The cone was put there to signal the carpark was full but the van just went in anyway. It’s funny how the security just stood there and watched.
