SINGAPORE – The motorist who alerted the police last week about another driver suspected of drink driving on the Central Expressway (CTE), has been hailed by netizens as a “hero”. But he said he was only “doing what any ordinary person would”.

“My intentions were simple – I just wanted to avoid a car accident,” said the motorist, 27, who only wanted to be known as Mr Nick, on Monday (Oct 14).

The 51-year-old suspect was arrested by police for drink driving on Oct 8 after Mr Nick informed them about the matter.

The police said they were alerted to the dangerous driving case earlier on the same day at 12.12am, which happened on the CTE towards Woodlands.

In a video posted on the Roads.sg Facebook page, a car, presumably driven by the suspected drink driver, is seen moving erratically on the road and swerving from lane to lane. In several instances, the car nearly collides with other vehicles on the road.

Mr Nick, who recorded the incident with his in-vehicle camera, said he followed the driver for about 20 minutes.
