"Zebra crossings give pedestrians the right of way to cross the road ahead of motorists". 

However, for motorists to give way to pedestrians, they must be visible to motorists. 

Watch this video to understand what I mean: 

What Happened?

This near-miss incident occurred at a zebra crossing in Boon Lay Way.

A kid attempted to "cross" a zebra crossing by sliding across a skateboard while sitting to the other side of the road. 

In his first attempt to cross the zebra crossing, the cam car spotted him at the very last minute and performed a timely emergency brake. 

At the same time, the kid saw the oncoming cam car and managed to stop in his tracks.

After the cam car passed, the kid made a second attempt to cross the zebra crossing while sitting on the skateboard AGAIN.

The second attempt was worse than the first.

He paddled while sitting on the skateboard, WITH HIS HEAD DOWN AND LOOKING ON THE GROUND. 

Fortunately for this kid, all the stars were aligned. 

He looked up and stopped in his tracks as an oncoming Toyota Prius drove through the zebra crossing. 

Subsequently, the kid paddled back to the pavement for safety.

What's Going On?

The real question is, where are the parents/guardian of this kid?!

An incident such as this highlights the importance of instilling road safety and awareness in kids. 

Hopefully, the kid learnt his lesson on the importance of road safety from this traumatising incident.

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    23 years on, Infernal Affairs remains the best gangster movie I've watched

    TL;DR It's over two decades old, but Infernal Affairs remains THE gangster trilogy. *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* The Hong Kong Police and a triad have placed moles in each other's ranks. Tony Leung is Chan Wing Yan, an undercover cop desperate to leave his assignment. The antagonist is Senior Inspector Lau Kin Ming (Andy Lau), a decorated policeman who is actually a mole for Hon Sam (Eric Tsang), a triad boss. It's a game of cat-and-mouse, with poli

    How are we already in June?

    During lunch with my mother a couple of weeks back over yong tau foo, I was asked about my opinion on the latest NDP song. And of course, as expected of any chronically insular millennial, my reaction was: “Huh? There’s a new NDP song?” But of course there is. And I say this not to disparage the wonderful songwriters and musicians that provide an anthem to remember the nation’s birthday by annually, but to knock into my own mind the harsh reality: We’re already in mid-June.  It fe

    The advent of apps and the Internet have revolutionised our ability to connect instantaneously. From social media to video calls to messaging apps, our capacity for real-time communication is unprecedented. However, it seems that the more hyperconnected we are online, the further apart we're growing in real life. Experts' Consensus Doctors, scientists, and specialists have all reached the same conclusion: Staring at our devices causes us to drift further apart – a trend I've obser
