A man found his van stolen after dropping off his kid at the childcare near Guillemard Crescent. Did anyone see the culprit or have details of the incident?

A netizen appeals for witnesses or footage of his accident along TPE towards Changi this morning. He claims a white car abruptly changed lanes and caused him to crash.

5 vehicles collided along the PIE before the Paya Lebar exit towards Tuas, causing a massive jam which lasted over an hour. 2 out of 5 were taxis. It is uncertain what caused the collision but 3 women were injured and taken conscious to Raffles Hospital.

A lorry caught fire just this morning at Lornie Rd, causing a massive jam along Braddell Rd. Drivers saw thick smoke billowing from the vehicle and said only 2 lanes were usable. It is uncertain what caused the fire, but the SCDF has since extinguished it and nobody was injured.

A woman warned others to be careful of suspicious men who claim to be Grab drivers in order to pick up female passengers. She recalled being approached by an entirely different car with a different number plate and how the "driver" even had a friend in the car. "Be extra aware when you make a booking and who's car you're really getting into! You can never predict what's about to happen, so it doesn't cost much to put your safety ahead."

A vehicle carrying 4 passengers has burst into flames, prompting its passengers to abandon the vehicle in a hurry! At 1PM today, the goods car carrying 4 men stopped next to Sungei Tengah dormitory.

Our reader needs help locating an unreasonable driver who attacked her father, a full time Grab driver, with an air freshener after claiming that he had blocked his path. The poor old man needed to be sent to the hospital because of his injuries while the assailant did not appear remorseful. How can liddat?

A car drove into the bushes at Changi Airport Terminal 2 yesterday evening. An onlooker described the white car as driving at high speed before mounting the kerb and crashing into some bushes near the terminal's coach stand. The driver was not reported to have suffered much injuries. His car was not damaged either.

I have been commuting regularly by Grab and Uber cars for the past 11/2 years and have found that some of these vehicles, especially the older rented ones, tend to emit a musty smell from the air-conditioners. When I brought up the issue with some of the drivers, I was informed that the filters in the air-conditioners have gone mouldy as a result of poor maintenance. Some of the drivers resorted to using air fresheners, but this does not get to the root of the problem. As a safety precaution, I can only wind down the windows. The inhalation of mould particles is bad for health, regardless of whether the driver or passenger is asthmatic. In fact, it will be worse for an asthmatic person. Having also commuted by taxis for many years, I must say that taxi companies here do a good job in maintaining the overall condition of their fleets. It is time private-hire car companies strove to do better in terms of the overall cleanliness - particularly the air quality - of their cars.

I am actually pleased with the authorities planning to impose 3/4 fuel tank rule for diesel cars too. With so many private hire cars and also many rich cheapos driving diesel cars on the roads now, it's about time we do something like this, otherwise our checkpoints will be jammed like nobody's business. I understand that there are ways to outdo it it to install a device in the car to ensure that fuel tank gauge only points to 3/4 mark and it's widely available in Malaysia. Please check on the spot when the car arrives at the checkpoint and ban this device from being installed in Singapore registered cars, and if any cars were found to have that device installed, kindly impound the cars and make sure that device is removed before the car is allowed to be in the roads and also fine the driver for that.
