A woman being chased by another got into a Toyota Vios outside Rivervale Mall in Sengkang.

The car drove forward before reversing and then making a dramatic 180-degree turn.

It was all caught on camera for a Mediacorp Chinese drama called Key Witness.

Sharing a behind-the-scenes video of the scene, Stomper Jason revealed: "I am the stunt driver."

He said: "The video was taken by a member of the public, who approached me and sent it to me. It was very well taken, so I thought I'd send it to you guys."

Jason told Stomp that he has been involved in stunt driving for 15 years with the last 10 years at a professional level.

"Stunt driving is the martial art of car manipulation," said the Stomper.

"It allows me to do freestyle car stunts like a BMX bike. It's especially useful in my line of work as a stunt driver for TV and movies."

When asked how stunt driving makes him feel, Jason said: "It makes me feel so in control. As clichéd as it sounds, I started drifting and stunt driving because I was inspired by the movie Tokyo Drift from the Fast & Furious franchise."

He was quick to advise aspiring stunt drivers not to attempt such moves on public roads.

"It is important to pick up stunt driving from professional stunt drivers and not just anyone who is able to showcase random driving skills online," he said.

"You need the discipline and mindset to be a responsible stunt driver, not just a reckless driver who wants to show off their skills.

"I highly urge everyone not to drive recklessly or attempt any stunts on the roads."
