The three-lane Mandai Road is usually occupied by buses, cars and heavy vehicles. It is no place for a small but powerful electric scooter (e-scooter) – which is not allowed on the roads anyway.
But an e-scooter rider not only blatantly ignored the rule by riding on Mandai Road in heavy morning traffic, he also, at one point, flirted with injury, perhaps even death, by cutting out into the middle lane to overtake a bus.
The rider, who was carrying a backpack and wearing a helmet and gloves, initially travelled on the left-most lane of the road.
