When people give way, everything becomes smoother.
Two drivers in Serangoon Gardens held up traffic as they disagreed on who should give way to the other.
Stomper Lau Lau alerted Stomp to a video of the incident that was shared on SG Road Vigilante's Facebook page.
In the video, the left side of the road is blocked by parked vehicles.
14jan2024 1552hrs somerville road opc #SNA3181U bmw 216 standoff btw bmw driver & cam car driver when no one want to reverse quoted Driving along Somerville road Met an amazing event. It is very normal to share a lane if one lane is occupied. This car SNA3181U came out of the condo and insisted right of way. Come to my car and tell me to reverse for him or he shall not move because he was stuck in the condo for 30 min. That doesn't concern me at all. And keep ranting I am a lousy driver...... Then he came up with a brilliant idea. He will move towards my right and i will squeeze thru. It is very narrow to pass thru. Not much option I just followed what he suggested. Then he claimed that I was trying to knock into him. After that another dark color shirt man tried to intimidate me as if he wanted to punch me. The driver stopped him. Slowly I squeeze thru. I just want to ask him why it is so difficult for him to reverse. Ego is so important is it.

The cam car comes head-to-head with a BMW making a right turn out of a condominium.
However, instead of reversing a little bit to make way for the oncoming car to pass, the BMW driver gestures at the other driver to squeeze through.
He then gets out of the vehicle to gesture some more.
Eventually, he is joined by a security guard and another man.
According to the video's caption, the cam car driver said the BMW driver told him to reverse for him.
He also allegedly refused to move because he was stuck in the condo for 30 minutes and called the cam car driver a 'lousy driver'.
The cam car driver said that it was too narrow to pass through but eventually conceded.
He then alleged that the BMW driver accused him of trying to knock into him.
"I just want to ask him why it is so difficult for him to reverse," he said.
"Ego is so important is it."
Several netizens agreed that if the BMW had simply reversed, the other driver could have passed through in seconds.
However, others argued that the BMW driver had the right of way.
