• Yap Soon Leong had sideswiped Agustinus Hadi's vehicle when he abruptly changed lane
• This angered Hadi, who then proceeded use his Audi A7 to repeatedly damage Yap's Kia Optima
• Yap was eventually able to escape from Hadi, who got stuck behind a car-park barrier due to a faulty in-vehicle unit
• Both men were convicted for dangerous driving and Hadi was sentenced to seven months' jail, while Yap was fined S$4,000

SINGAPORE — For around 8km from Bartley Road East until Tampines, two drivers swerved their vehicles into each other's paths and braked abruptly in front of the other, causing both cars to collide repeatedly in a chain of incidents that lasted nearly 10 minutes, a court heard.

At one point in a series of dangerous driving maneuvers, Agustinus Hadi, 54, and Yap Soon Leong, 55, took turns braking abruptly in front of each other in their Audi A7 saloon car and Kia Optima respectively.

Their road rage only ended after Yap drove into a car park, but Hadi could not follow as his in-vehicle unit was not working.

At the State Courts on Tuesday (March 21), Hadi, a Singaporean, pleaded guilty to a single charge under the Road Traffic Act pertaining to dangerous driving and was sentenced to seven months’ jail.

He was also disqualified from holding or obtaining all classes of driving licences for three years, which will take effect from the date of his release.

Hadi drove in a “deliberate and vengeful” manner, prosecutors said.

“Even though he had numerous opportunities to disengage, he chose to settle his dispute with (the other driver) by using his car as a means of retaliation,” said Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Shen Wanqin.

Yap, who is also Singaporean, was fined S$4,000 on July 28, 2021 after he pleaded guilty to a similar charge. He was also disqualified from holding all classes of driving licences for 20 months.

I can confirm that both of the drivers are vaccinated.

The drivers should have used that as mitigation because the spike proteins clogged their brain vessels and caused impaired judgement.

Then tell the judge to sue the 3 clowns + @porcaputtana instead
