Singapore passenger reports PHV driver with video on phone

Clip shows PiP playing above nav on 10-minute trip; Grab urges focus and app reports.

A Singapore private-hire passenger has reported a driver after filming a video playing on a dashboard-mounted phone during a short ride.

8Days / AsiaOne coverage of social posts shows picture-in-picture content above the navigation app near Lower Delta Road. The passenger said streaming by PHV drivers felt increasingly common, chose not to confront the driver over fear of aggression, recorded from the back seat and lodged an official report. Under the Road Traffic Act, driving without due care can bring fines and jail. Grab said safety is a priority, urged drivers to stay focused and asked passengers to report via Help Centre.
