Background Info
The above photo has been making rounds via smartphones like a wild fire:

• Van's plate: GBD 5813 T
• camera in the car
• H/p Data Sensor
• Don't Use Your h/p when this van near you

This is a Singapore registered van and is traveling on a Singapore road and is exiting from a sideroad to an expressway.

Preliminary Analysis

Zero Google search result for now on the above and this seems more like a nuisance / hoax / prank / fiction than fact to me. We will update this page again once there is more information.
