Driver Bernard sent a video clip to STOMP of an angry middle aged lady who verbally abused him and even thrust her butt out to him and his friend.

Apparently the lady and her companion were jaywalking at a traffic light when Bernard narrowly missed them, and she gestured at him rudely.

After Bernard pulled up at a nearby carpark to wait for a friend, she approached them and started her animated tirade, which was captured by Bernard's friend on his mobile phone.

Bernard said, in his email to STOMP on Oct 29:

"I was driving my company's van along Sims Avenue, towards Changi Airport.

"While near the Eunos MRT, I was driving at a speed of 50-60km/ph. The traffic light turned amber when I drove past it and there were a middle-aged couple jaywalking and they showed me hand-sign when I drove past them.

"I turned into the open spaced car park in front of Eunos Mrt Station, while waiting for my friend to arrive.

"The couple walked towards my direction where I parked my van and start confronting me.

"At that time, I had two passengers with me, with one sitting beside me, and the other seated at the back.

"They came over and started picking up a quarrel. Both parties had a heated conversation and after awhile, one of my friends tried to calm them down but the couple showed no sign of stopping the argument. My friend then decided to call the police.

"Before the police arrived, the lady was taking pictures of the vehicle and us. This clip was taken while waiting for the police to arrive."
