A SMRT bus captain was recorded on dashcam footage confronting a car driver for purportedly hogging a lane on Wednesday (Dec 24). The incident occurred along Woodlands Ave 1 at about 2.55pm, according to Facebook page SGRV. In the footage obtained from the vehicle between the bus and car, the bus is seen inching forward and trying to manoeuvre into a bus bay but is unable to do so. The bus captain then alights and approaches the car in front of the dashcam vehicle.
