A Strides taxi driver has drawn criticism after allegedly cutting a queue by driving against the flow of traffic and crossing double white lines in Singapore.
The incident was captured on a dashboard camera and shared on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page.
According to the post, the incident happened on 8 October 2026 at around 5.50pm near the National University of Singapore (NUS).
The footage reportedly showed a Strides taxi, bearing registration number SHB261H, moving against the direction of traffic to get ahead of other vehicles.
The taxi was also alleged to have crossed double white lines while manoeuvring into position.
Motorists Question Taxi Driver’s Road Behaviour
The footage has attracted criticism from social media users, with several tagging the Singapore Police Force and Land Transport Authority (LTA), hoping that the authorities would look into the incident.
Some questioned why the driver appeared unwilling to wait in the traffic queue, while others expressed concern that such manoeuvres could lead to head-on collisions with oncoming vehicles.
One commenter sarcastically described the taxi driver as a “king of the road”, while another questioned whether the driver had forgotten the purpose of road markings.
Others pointed out that crossing double white lines and travelling against traffic could put other road users at risk.
Online Users Call For Authorities To Investigate
Several netizens urged the Traffic Police and LTA to identify the driver and review the footage.
Some also questioned whether taxi and private-hire drivers were becoming increasingly impatient on Singapore’s roads.
However, the footage alone does not establish whether any traffic offence was committed, and there has been no confirmed statement from the authorities regarding enforcement action.
The incident has once again sparked discussions about road discipline and the importance of patience, particularly when navigating busy roads during peak-hour traffic.
