I always tell my children,\"Always think that the drivers cannot see you, you must be careful yourself when crossing the road

Curious why taxi driver was filming from his taxi? How footage was obtained?

It is an accident camera that is usually hung under the mirror. Auto recording. Usually only replayed in an accident to see if people cut your lane or didnt signal etc etc…
Actually, pedestrians have to be really careful. After i started driving, then i do realise that even as a slow driver, there are times where cars / people are in your blind spot. Most scary is where impatient drivers want to cut u from behind when u are actually slowing down because u saw a pedestrian crossing in front of u. -
Looking at the footage, there is a possibility that the bus driver did see her crossing the road but judged that he could be able to turn in front of her. When taking the turn, he took his eyes off her to check the clearance on his left and knocked her down.
I have seen many drivers doing that, making the turn in front of pedestrians crossing the road. Traffic police should take this opportunity to highlight that such maneuver is against the law. Vehicles should only proceed with the turn after the pedestrians have walked passed their turning lane. -
OIC…when I’m driving, I find pedestrians jaywalking very dangerous. When I’m walking, I find drivers very reckless. I guess it’s time to review the right turning traffic light with green man crossing. Sometimes, opp direction car can be very fast & last minute pedestrian dash out when green man blinking. I usu do right turn when green arrow is on, but I can expect cars behind me cursing this lady driver.
For kids, I was taught to maintain eye contact with the driver b4 crossing. I see pedestrians at zebra crossing eyes on HP ears plugged with ear piece. I make sure my kids are taught all these road safety rules as young as possible. I ask them not to cross while green man is blinking. Guess we can only do such precautions to educate our next generation. -

Most, if not all taxis, are fitted with the front camera in case of disputes. It's auto on once vehicle started. The driver is not filming himself else how he drives and films? You should also notice the footage is very stable, not filming with hands. Some private cars also have such feature nowadays. Think this is good, at least got evidence if accident happened. In this case, it clearly captured the whole process. Can't expect Gov to put CCTV at every traffic junction. -

Bus driver very reckless nowadays .... I can stand beside the zebra crossing waiting for the bus to slow down but instead it sped pass.
Some bus drivers I encountered before were very reckless. Either they are rushing to meet their schedule or simply impatient. -

Especially those driving posh or expensive continental cars like BMW. They think they own the road as well and totally disregard for pedestrian on the roads. They really have ego problem.
