Can the police step up in booking jaywalkers

[Ahdi]

just kana rear ended by a taxi when i tried to stop when i was turning into my car park.

 

3 jaywalkers, believed to be a cheena couple an a bangla. while i was about to turn left into the car park, notice these 3 ppl were about cross, and indeed they dashed out while i was about to turn, in the end i had to brake and stop to avoid colliding into them. in the end, kana rear ended by this taxi. always met this scnaerio and hafta be extremely careful.

 

The taxi uncle still have the cheek to say i was in the wrong too, he said i shld haf turn in without stopping, shouldn;t have stop halfway while turning.

You should claim, if you don't claim or report to insurance, be sure to get a nasty surprise.

Sometimes, these idiots think that we drivers should look out for this and that. What they fail to know that drivers are always checking the surroundings but our eyes are not 360 degrees wide vision. To that JC student or those who thinks that drivers should always give way to them even when they are wrong, if they still keep this kind of mindset, one day they will learn their lesson the hard way.

Bro no choice man.. So many people are jay-walking in esp in the heartlands areas, some even resorting to dash across the road just to save those miserable few seconds.. We just need to drive safe..

[Kyojin]

they are not jaywalkers, they are just pedestrians. they are not doing anything illegal. as the driver, you should be more vigilant.

 

Under the road traffic act:

cap 276, section 121 -

(3) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (2), rules made thereunder may be made prohibiting pedestrian traffic on the carriageway within 100 metres of a crossing, and with respect to the indication of the limits of a crossing, or of any other matter whatsoever relating to the crossing, by marks or devices on or near the roadway or otherwise, and generally with respect to the erection of traffic signs in connection with a crossing.

 

[Heartbreakid]

Laws are laws where people of course have to follow. But due to laws many people have lost their natural human instinct which is to differentiate between what is dangerous to themselves and what is not. Some people thinks that there are laws to protect them so they can take advantage as pedestrians, so when accidents happen, the driver would be punished. But what these pedestrians fail to realise is that, if both the driver and pedestrian fail to look out for each other, when accidents happen, it is the pedestrian who lose out, like injuries and worse scenario, lost of life?

 

In the end, it takes two hands to clap. Drivers drive safe. Pedestrians and riders, please do your part, walk and ride safe. On the road, we should always cover one another to make road usage safer and more pleasant.
