In the video, the taxi with licence plate number SHD3088L can be seen inexplicably reversing into another car that had stopped behind it.

A caption accompanying the ROADS.sg video said: "SHD3088L [has] no good reason to reverse and knock into cam car at a traffic light. Passengers of this taxi came out to defend driver and demanded lady driver for compensation."

Many netizens felt that there were suspicious signs, such as the passengers' over-enthusiasm in seeking 'justice' for the cabby:

Many also urged the car driver to lodge a police report and said it was a good thing there was a dashboard camera that recorded the whole event.
