Three Speedsters Betray Traffic Rules to Dodge ERP — The Wild Wednesday in Singapore
It all started at 6:53 p.m. on Oct 9. A handful of daring drivers—one gleaming Mercedes‑Benz, a sleek Audi and a humble Honda—stood in a tight locker‑room on Prinsep Street and decided to flip the traffic script.
What Went Down
- Location: Prinsep Street, the hot spot where cars usually play polite comedy, but these three turned the script on its head.
- Action: They all turned left—like a group of jazz musicians in sync—yet carved their way against the flow of traffic.
- Time: The whole performance last less than 25 seconds, but the adrenaline? Pure, instant rush.
The Plot Twist
Rumor has it the stalkers’ grand plan: to dodge the dreaded Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantry on Bencoolen Street that whips commuters back to the Middle Road. These sneaky drivers thought they could cheat the system by weaving through Prinsep Street, as if it were a shortcut to “free lanes.”
Quick Take‑away
“Well done to these 3 cheapskates (one Merc, one Audi, one Honda) trying to dodge the ERP at Sim Lim Square,” the video’s author, Mk Tëź, chided. “This all happened in less than 5 minutes.”
Why This Matters
Singapore’s strict traffic laws aren’t just recommended—they’re enforced. These bold moves can lead to penalties, and more importantly: they jeopardize the safety of everyone on the road. In this case, the only thing gaining ground was a short, wildly recorded moment that went viral on the SG Road Vigilante’s Facebook page.
So next time you’re driving, remember: approach ERP gantries the right way—no detour through Prinsep Street, unless you want a story of your own for the next speed camera showcase!
Drivers in Hot Water After “Cheapo” Controversy
Picture a quiet morning on the highway, the sun just peeking over the horizon. Suddenly, a flash of violence erupts – a crash that brings more than just broken glass to the scene. The culprit? A group of drivers who have been dubbed the infamous “cheapos.”
“Cheapo” isn’t just a slang term; it’s a badge of residence for drivers who bragly choose the cheapest ways to navigate traffic—like cutting corners, over‑speeding, and ignoring the rules. While most motorists try to avoid reckless maneuvers, these “cheapos” seem to treat the roads as their personal playground.
- Returned to the spotlight, the incident sparked an online outcry. Social media users flooded platforms with scolding remarks, calling out the drivers for their reckless and laughable style.
- Public pressure?: The angry response didn’t stop there. Netizens demanded that authorities should
report the “cheapo” drivers to the Traffic Police.
- Video of the collision?: The photo that circulated reveals a chaotic scene of vehicles and overturned lanes, captured by a Google Maps snapshot that has become the headline visual for the whole episode.
Despite the humor and bravado around “cheapo” slang, this incident serves as a stark reminder: Even in the era of media virality, responsible driving is the true king of the road. Traffic police patrols are now on standby to keep this new breed of drivers from turning the highway into their personal carnival again.
