Singapore – Video footage circulates online of a Mercedes-Benz slowly drifting out of its lane, causing an incoming vehicle to spin through the air. The video has gained scrutiny from the online community as to who was at fault.
The ROADS.sg Facebook page uploaded a video on Tuesday (November 10) of the traffic accident that occurred on Upper Bukit Timah Road outside the MINDEF (Ministry of Defense). Caption reads: “Merc driver abruptly changes lane without checking, collides with another car and causes it to flip. The overturned car hits another car next to it, preventing it from rolling over completely. “
At the beginning of the video, the Mercedes could be seen drifting out of its lane due to the congested lanes ahead. When the sedan enters the left lane, an oncoming vehicle does not stop and collides with the Mercedes. Meanwhile, another car in the left lane prevents the vehicle from turning 180 degrees.

The vehicle’s bumper detaches and falls to the ground as the Mercedes collides with a different car to its right.
Members of the online community were quick to comment on the images, noting that it was not entirely the fault of the Mercedes driver. Video shows that the Mercedes had already drifted out of its lane and did not do so abruptly.
“There has been enough time for him (the overturned vehicle) to apply the emergency brake. It seemed like his eyes were elsewhere, ”noted Facebook user Henry Quek. “Any sane driver will anticipate and apply the brake if their eyes were on the front sight.”
In addition, many noted that the particular area frequently experiences emergency braking and near-misses. Facebook user Thomas Cristian Tan explained that to go straight, a driver usually uses the first two lanes. However, due to traffic, drivers would shift into the third lane and attempt to cut or pass. “But when they realize they are stuck because there are cars turning toward MINDEF, impatient drivers drift into lane two without checking.”
However, others expected that more road users would be more patient and cautious, especially in areas with heavy congestion, as this approach could help avoid accidents altogether.
