A heart-racing jaywalking incident results in shrieking, honking and screeching of brakes

When an individual jaywalks, it is almost a no-brainer to check for oncoming traffic and blind spots before crossing the road.

Unfortunately, this jaywalker had to learn to check for oncoming traffic and her blind spots the hard way:

What Happened?

This accident occurred on 20th February 2022, along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 after the SPC petrol station.

The cam car was travelling along lane 3 at a relatively slow speed.

Out of the blue, a woman dashes out from in-between two cars along lane 2.

It was apparent that the woman did not bother checking her blind spot and simply assumed that there was no oncoming car. 

The cam car driver, who was unable to react in time, ended up colliding into the jaywalking woman with a substantial amount of force that sent her flying in mid-air for a good second or so.

NGL, I am certain that F1 drivers cannot react in time if they were in the above situation. 

After landing on her back, the lady instantly got up to her feet. 

She then walked towards the roadside and sat on the grass while a passerby, the cam car driver and his passenger attended to her.

This was a fortunate outcome for the jaywalking lady, considering she emerged from this accident without much hurt.

Hopefully, this experience proves to be a valuable lesson to her.

Hopefully some regulations can be made to protect motorists too.

It is their road culture back in her homeland. Either that or she come from a village, never seen city traffic before.

We should not judge but rather find a solution to this madness.

was there an education on board as they land in Singapore? Just like the warning of harsh punishment on drug trafficking?

There should at least have stats to back up our impression. Else it’s considered micro aggressions.

so should we pepper such incite on road usage or will we evolve into another mutation of road cyclists against drivers?

food for thought

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
