Impatience was found to be a reason for most traffic hazards in a poll of 1,000 Singapore residents conducted by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in early 2026. But it seems one driver chose to not prioritise safety over speed or convenience, but also demonstrated this behaviour in front of a police officer on Monday (June 8) afternoon.Dashcam footage of the incident submitted to Facebook page SG Road Vigilante shows a dark-coloured Honda Civic saloon car and a police van turning right from Bartley Road East to Upper Paya Lebar Road.The car is first seen driving behind the police van, but later overtakes it from the right as both vehicles are about to complete the turn to Upper Paya Lebar Road.In the footage, the car could be seen driving close to the kerb, but the driver of the van applies brakes and slows down for the car to pass ahead safely.Moments later, the police van is seen with its sirens on, signalling for the car to stop along the leftmost lane along Upper Paya Lebar Road.
