Ferrari crash
-
This accident has made me more cautious when crossing the road. Because of this accident, i escaped twice on last weekend, on the same day. I was at a two lanes road,waiting for green man to cross the road. Red light on, the cars at the lane near my side have stopped. The other lane, I saw a car coming but no sign of stoping. True enough, the Malaysian car dashed the red light. One cyclist who crossed the road immediately when green man was lighted, nearly got knocked by the car. I saw the cyclist emergency brake, the dased red light Malaysia car emergency switch lane after dashed pass the red light to avoid the cyclist, or else, an accident would have haspen right in front of me.
Then further up, about 15 mins walk, i was at the zebra crossing. Again two lanes road, the lorry at the lane near to my side stopped for me to cross. Behind the lorry, there were 2 cars stopped behind it. I did not cross as i saw at the other lane, a white car was approaching. In my heart, i was telling myself, better to wait for the white car to stop first. But it did not stop! It zoom pass the zebra crossing. The lorry who had stop, saw the white car approaching of no intention to slow down, made a long horn to alert, but the white car just ignored. If i have crossed the road, i would definately be knocked down by the white car.
Conclusion, pedestrains, please ensure all the cars have stopped before crossing. Regardless if it at traffic light or zebra crossing. Don’t start crossing when red mn just turn green, make sure after green man, all the cars have stopped then cross.
To all car drivers, please slow down when you are approaching traffic lights and zebra crossing. Regardless if it is green light or nobody is crossing the zebra crossing. -
wan bao reporter went to the same accident spot a few days ago and noted that within a span of 3 hours, 6 cars beat the red lights in the early morning hours. obviously some drivers never learn their lessons :slapshead:
-
People said this same accident spot is "haunted" - quite a number of accidents happened before in the past.
so those drivers want to beat traffic light in the early morning hour(s), bear consequences lor. This type of "thing" usually appear after past midnight, when the road is quiet. This "thing" welcome beckoning them, "Come, Come, Come. Come and … speed" -

20 May 2012 report
PRC national and Singapore PR offered to sponsor education of children of late cabby Cheng Teck Hock
Besides Singaporeans, foreigners and PRs have also offered assistance and support, including a CEO from China, forty year old Mr Sima of Pan Asia Energy Group.
In an interview with the media, a private secretary of Mr Sima revealed that he arrived in Singapore from Beijing three years ago and is currently a Singapore PR.
“He is very concerned about the accident and when he knew the cabby’s family is in financial distress, he felt he should do his part,” the secretary said.
Together with another PR, Mr Sima offered to sponsor the living and education expenses of the children of Mr Cheng.
Mr Cheng’s eldest daughter Stephanie Cheng has just graduated from a local polytechnic and may be putting her plans to enrol in a university on hold because of the family tragedy.

After all this talk, I really think that non-SG drivers licence who want to convert should go through a practical test. In Spain for eg, motorists DON’T have to stop at zebra crossings. In China, I think the motorists don’t quite stop for pedestrians even if the lights are in pedestrian’s favour. These are the ones I remember most - not sure about driving dos and don’ts in other countries but there are sure to be discrepancies. How come such motorists need is to take a basic theory and hey hey, they can drive on the roads?
Not all dangerous drivers are foreigners, there are some SG also. But then being familiar with the law of the SG roads may help that little bit? -

saw a posting in Today regarding foreign drivers' licences:
1. they need not convert their foreign class 3 licence into a singaporean one if they stay <1 year.
2. for those staying> 1 year, they just need to pass a MCQ basic theory test at one of the 3 driving centres to convert their licences
3. receive their class 3 licence on the day they pass
no practical driving test at all? :? :yikes:
