We all know how frustrating it can be when you try to wave down a public bus only for it to continue driving on and not stop for you.
Recently, a man in Singapore got himself in trouble after he had become angry at a bus driver who didn’t stop for him.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the 73-year-old man named Tay Bok Leng was waiting for the Bus Service 13 at a bus stop along with his wife.
After 20 minutes, the bus arrived at around 10:50pm but continued to drive on despite Tay flagging it down, Tay then went on to get a taxi and chased the bus where he proceeded to scream “F*** you”, “b*****d”, and “good for nothing” at the bus driver several times.
Although Tay’s wife tried to stop him from shouting at the bus driver, he continued to curse at the bus driver, causing several passengers to lodge a police report.
The bus driver later stopped the vehicle to wait for police to handle the matter.
The bus driver later claimed he saw Tay waving at him after driving past the bus stop and that it was too late for him to stop the bus safely.
Fined RM19,00 in court
During a court hearing on Tuesday (April 4), Tay argued that the bus driver should apologise for failing to stop for him and added that he couldn’t stand or sit for prolonged periods of time.
However, when the judge asked him whether he felt he had done anything wrong, Tay suddenly changed his stance and pleaded guilty.
He then requested for the court to give him a lighter sentence as he was retired and had no income.
Tay was eventually slapped with a S$6,000 (RM19,847.85) fine for 2 offences which were harassment and failing to wear a mask.
