The driver was speeding on a residential road. It's not s highway.
If highway speed limit is 80, populated residential road speed limit should be 60. Or less.

Can’t wait for drone deliveries to materialise so those food delivery fucktards can vanish forever.

Police are investigating a case in which a delivery rider was caught on camera punching a driver numerous times.
The incident occurred along Lorong Payah in Bencoolen on July 2.
Stomper Alvyn shared a video of the altercation, taken at around 1.36pm and which a friend forwarded to him.
The video shows the driver being confronted by the cyclist, who is in a Foodpanda shirt.
The cyclist can be seen knocking on the car window and pointing to the road behind.
As the driver moves forward, the cyclist hits his car with his bicycle wheel, causing the driver to stop and exit his vehicle.
The Foodpanda rider then dismounts his bicycle, which falls on its side, before punching the driver in the face numerous times.
The driver eventually falls to the ground. His passenger is seen exiting the car and on the phone.
A female voice in the video's background, presumably from the vehicle that had recorded the footage, can be heard repeatedly saying: "Call police, call police."
In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed that they received a call for assistance at 1.35pm.
A 38-year-old man sustained minor injuries but declined to be taken to the hospital.
A 44-year-old man is assisting with investigations into a case of voluntarily causing hurt.
Police investigations are ongoing.
Stomp has contacted Foodpanda for more information.

There are 650,000 CECAs in SG with many of them displacing true blue citizens from PME jobs. If they do not drive cabs and PHVs or delivery goods, what else can these S'poreans do?

The National Delivery Champions Association says the black market for delivery accounts is thriving. PHOTOS: SHIN MIN DAILY NEWS

Foreigners are paying as much as $1,000 to work illegally on delivery or ride-hailing amid a thriving black market for delivery accounts.
Mr Ng Gan Poh, president of the National Delivery Champions Association (NDCA), told Shin Min Daily News that account rentals can cost up to 10 per cent of the user's weekly or daily earnings.
Outright purchases range from $100 to $1,000. These transactions are typically done through personal networks or social media posts.
Mr Ng added that cases of foreigners illegally doing delivery work in Singapore have been happening since the Covid-19 pandemic. He said he can usually identify them by their vehicle licence plate, clothing, helmet type and accent.
The NDCA represents those whose main source of income is from food or package delivery. Only Singaporeans and permanent residents are allowed to work as delivery riders for platforms such as Grab and Deliveroo.
National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) assistant secretary-general Yeo Wan Ling told Shin Min on July 15 that a tripartite working group has been formed to tackle the issue.
This follows repeated complaints about unfair competition to the NTUC, along with associations representing private-hire drivers and delivery riders.
Ms Yeo said that tackling the issue requires effort from all sides: Platform workers should not sell or rent their accounts, foreigners should not misuse accounts they do not own, and the platforms themselves need to step up enforcement and supervision.
The Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC MP added that compliant workers are not only losing income opportunities to illegal riders, but also face other challenges such as undercutting by social media carpool groups and illegal cross-border taxi services.

A man confronted a young woman outside McDonald's at Tampines West over what he believed to be a case of illegal food delivery.
Stomper Manmeet told Stomp that the incident occurred on July 28 at about 6.18pm.
He shared a video of the woman and her bicycle on TikTok.
Manmeet, who is retired and has been doing food delivery part-time, said he noticed the woman arriving on a rented bicycle and parking it at the designated food delivery pickup point.
"I approached her to ask her to park on the opposite side as she was blocking the area meant for delivery riders," he said. "She looked like a foreign customer, and the area was already crowded with bicycles from other delivery platforms.
According to Manmeet, the woman then entered McDonald's and showed a staff member a food delivery order at the rider pickup counter.
"I asked her if she was a customer, and she said she would just collect the order there. I questioned the staff and they confirmed she had shown a food delivery order."
Manmeet said he then asked the woman if she was a student and from India, to which she replied yes. She also told him she was collecting the order for a friend.
"When her order was ready, she took it and went back to her bike," he said. "Before she could leave, I grabbed her handlebar and told her what she was doing was illegal.
"She panicked, said sorry, and eventually left the scene, abandoning her rented bicycle.
"The McDonald's staff later told me it was a Foodpanda delivery order."
Manmeet said he later lodged a police report at Tampines Neighbourhood Police Centre.
He added that he has seen similar cases involving other foreign men and women, but this was the first time he had approached a foreign student.
In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed a report was lodged.
His video has since garnered over 48,000 views and mixed reactions online.
Stomper Coca, expressed similar concerns to Manmeet: "I feel that this issue of foreigners doing food delivery illegally is getting out of hand. More should be done to contain the problem."
Others, however, criticised Manmeet's actions.
Stomper Joseph said: "This behaviour is deeply disturbing and may constitute harassment. There is no evidence the girl was violating any rules."
He added: "According to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), foreign students holding a valid Student's Pass from approved institutions are allowed to work up to 16 hours per week during school term and full-time during vacation, without a work permit. The student was simply doing her job - legally - and did not deserve to be humiliated or harassed."
However, according to Foodpanda, riders need to be Singaporeans or permanent residents and be at least 18 years old.
In November 2024, four foreigners were charged with working illegally as food delivery riders in Singapore without valid work passes, which carries a fine of up to $20,000, imprisonment of up to two years, or both.
MOM said that it had been engaging the major food delivery platforms to enhance their processes and prevent the misuse of accounts by unauthorised parties, as well as disseminating educational messages to advise riders against allowing foreigners to use or share their food delivery accounts.

Since MOM allows foreign students holding a valid Student's Pass from approved institutions to work up to 16 hours per week during school term and full-time during vacation, without a work permit, delivery riders have no right to bully foreign students who are working legally in SG. A youngster doing her job legally must not be threatened or harassed. The police should set "Manmeet" straight.

S'pore delivery rider, 52, gets 6 weeks' jail for hitting man, 80, with PMA & punching him twice
The delivery rider punched the elderly man in the face and in the chest.Gracia Yap

A food delivery rider has been sentenced to six weeks' jail for hitting an 80-year-old man with his personal mobility aid (PMA), as well as physically assaulting him.
Shin Min Daily News reported that on Aug. 18, Mohamad Supri (transliterated), 52, pleaded guilty to one charge of voluntarily causing hurt.
Another charge of committing a rash act causing hurt was taken into consideration during sentencing.
First punch
According to Shin Min, court documents showed that the incident took place on Feb. 10 at 10pm.
The elderly man was walking on a footpath near Block 236 Bukit Batok East Avenue 5.
The accused's PMA hit him, causing him to suffer injuries to his right thigh and hip.
The victim got angry when the accused rode off without stopping.
He cursed loudly at the accused while walking to a nearby bench to sit down to ease the pain.
When the accused heard this, he dismounted from his PMA before walking over and punching the elderly man in the face, knocking him to the ground.
Second punch
When the man tried to get up and call for help, the accused punched him a second time, this time in the chest, causing the elderly man to fall a second time.
He then rode off.
A 21-year-old woman who witnessed the assault rushed to help the victim and called the police who tracked the assailant down later that night.
The elderly man was taken to the hospital and discharged on the same day with no visible injuries.
During his plea for leniency, Supri claimed to have been suffering from a slipped disc and said he was scheduled for a third surgery, adding that he found it difficult to walk and could not "sleep in a prison".
