Stomper Tan was driving along Woodlands Road towards Hillion Mall at 9.56am yesterday (Jul 1) when she had a near-accident with an electric scooter rider. 

In a video shared by Tan, her car is seen moving forward as the traffic light turned green.

At the same time, a man on an electric scooter is seen speeding across the road.

Tan said: "This happened at the traffic light junction of Woodlands Road and Bukit Panjang Road.

"I only hesitated to move off when the light turned green because I was worried about the cyclist on the left.

"If not for that slight delay, the consequences would have been unthinkable. I might have knocked down the e-scooter rider.

"I just wanted to remind the public to not beat the red light."
