Three Traffic Police (TP) officers are facing investigations after footage of their unsafe riding behaviour surfaced online.

Dashcam footage of the incident shared with SG Road Vigilante and posted on its social media account shows the dashcam vehicle turning right onto Ubi Avenue 3 from Paya Lebar Road.

A ComfortDelGro taxi is also seen making the right turn from the outer lane.

Shortly after both vehicles turn into Ubi Avenue 3, two TP outriders are seen approaching from the dashcam vehicle's left and cutting ahead of it. 

They are then seen entering the Traffic Police headquarters. 

Just as the dashcam vehicle nears the headquarters' entrance, a third TP outrider appears and makes a sharp right turn.

The third officer's actions also caused the dashcam vehicle to brake.

"Why he like that?" one of at least two persons in the vehicle is heard asking. 

In a statement issued to AsiaOne, the police confirmed that they are aware of the incident, which purportedly took place at about 3am on Sept 4.

A police spokesperson said that the three officers' actions are being investigated and appropriate action will be taken against them.

"The SPF takes a serious view of road safety and expects all officers to adhere to traffic rules and exercise due care and attention," the spokesperson added.

Under the Road Traffic Act, no motorist must drive a motor vehicle on the road without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other road users.
