Netizens were torn apart after a Gojek driver was filmed by a passenger for using his mobile phone while driving.
Some netizens commented that the person who took the video is sabotaging his rice bowl but the fact of the matter is that his actions of picking up the phone is already sabotaging his own rice bowl.
In one part of the video he was not even looking at the road, but his phone.
There is a reason why such a law exists, it is for the safety of the driver, passengers and other road users.
The passenger has every right to report it, imagine an accident happened and everyone will start blaming the driver instead of the person who took the video.
It is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving. This includes talking, texting, and taking or making calls while operating a vehicle in motion. Anyone who contravenes this law can be fined up to S$1,000 and/or jailed up to 6 months.
To ensure the safety of drivers and other road users, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) implements strict enforcement of the law.
Traffic Police officers are stationed at strategic locations and are equipped with speed cameras and other devices to detect drivers who are using their phones while driving. If a driver is spotted doing so, they will be given a warning and/or a fine.
Here are what netizens think:
- If the passenger only stop at posting the video, I wonder what’s the main objective? If the goal is to highlight the driver’s dangerous driving, why not inform and share the video with his taxi company or LTA for them to deal with it internally?
- Brain urself .why book worest plantfrom gojek
- Can this be send straight to LTA ans file a complain against the driver?
- Gojek please do something about this issue maybe suspend him 1 month from driving Gojek then grab will be happy to invite him to drive with grab coz grab need drivers now and grab is the worst platforms they need this kind of PHV driver for them
- See he even took his eye of the road for a split second and look at phone. He got to be one of those people who zigzag and drive into other lanes.
- This kind of joker deserve to get rice bowl smashed.
- Pls send video to TP get the old man out of the road
