Woman killed in Sengkang bus accident
-
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. -

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

Some driver are just rushing even with people crossing... Got ramps also can drive very fast.OIC...when I'm driving, I find pedestrians jaywalking very dangerous.

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.

Why must people generalise like that?

BMW stands for \"Mian Ta You\" (No need petrol) ! and i think if one is driving a posh car, he should drive SLOWLY so that people can admire how posh the car is mah ...
