Pedestrians need a lesson on road safety. Standing at the traffic junction is so dangerous...if a driver makes a u-turn and loses control of steering wheel, the pedestrian suffers. One can never be presumptuous that nothing will go wrong :slapshead: Anything can happen on the road.

Lesson as in 教训？ Or 上课？

Guess it's the parents' duty to coach their kiddos about road safety, if you mean lesson as 上课....

There is a Road Safety Park. Some schools participate in the activities to teach road safety to school children.

If the adults are not taught, then how to teach their own children?

Especially now many foreigners are living in Sg, I find these foreigners treat the road as their private estates.

Traffic police and mediacorp can make a short documentary to teach people how to cross the road…road safety tips, the dos and the don’ts.

Also teach youngsters not to walk on the road with ear plugs…loud music blasting into their ears. Cross the road safety…at zebra crossings…do not assume right of way every time and neglect own safety.

Donkey years ago when Jack Neo and Moses Lim were still with MedicCorp, there was a mini sitcom which protrayed what was the issues in the neighbourhood then in one of the 8pm variety shows. Issues raised included lacking of social skills among the general public.

Sadly, we do not find these anymore. Moreover, the target audience might not be watching TV anyway.

Seriously, TRAFFIC POLICE should do something to educate the elderly, the adults, maids and the children about road safety. With more drivers on the road, there is an urgent need, not forgetting those who do not drive often…for eg people who rent cars for CNY.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about this park! Does it still exist? Do schools still organise these trips?
