Kayu Driver Kayu Driver Hit-and-Run Caught on Camera

 

A viral video circulating on Facebook has sparked outrage among netizens after a hit-and-run incident at an HDB open-air car park. The footage shows a driver in a white Toyota Sienta attempting to reverse into a parking lot. Despite having ample space, the driver misjudged the maneuver and backed directly into a black sedan parked behind.

Rather than stopping to assess the damage or take responsibility, the driver immediately drove off, leaving the black sedan with visible damage. The incident has led many netizens to question whether the driver possesses a valid license, with some calling him a “Kayu driver” – a slang term used in Singapore to describe someone with poor driving skills.

Many online users have expressed frustration, pointing out that this is an obvious case of hit-and-run. Some have urged the owner of the black sedan to file a police report and use the video evidence to claim damages against the driver of the white Toyota Sienta.

The incident has reignited discussions about road safety and responsible driving in Singapore. While accidents happen, drivers are legally obligated to stop and exchange details after causing damage to another vehicle. Fleeing the scene of an accident is a serious offense under Singapore law, and those found guilty can face fines, demerit points, or even license suspension.

Under the Road Traffic Act, failing to stop after an accident that results in property damage can lead to severe penalties. If the driver is identified, he could face legal action, including a possible suspension of his driving privileges.

With the rise of dashboard cameras and social media, hit-and-run drivers are increasingly being caught on video. Many netizens are hoping that the footage will help authorities or the affected car owner track down the responsible driver.

Cases like these highlight the importance of responsible driving and accountability on the road. In the event of an accident, motorists are advised to remain at the scene, exchange particulars, and report the incident if necessary. The Singapore Police Force encourages victims of hit-and-run cases to lodge a report and provide any available evidence, such as dashcam footage or witness accounts, to facilitate investigations.

As the video continues to gain traction online, there is hope that the driver of the white Toyota Sienta will be identified and held accountable for his actions.
