Kaixing Neutral Newbie February 10, 2011 Share February 10, 2011 Recently I've been seeing alot of public sector vehicles getting into accidents! Lately, there was this SBS bus that mounted kerb and went right onto the pedestrian crossing, covering the entire zebra crossing o_O http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Trans...208-262483.html Here's the pic if you don't believe me: Then got other cases of police cars getting into accidents: Think the policeman too shagged out from his 12-hour duty, ahaha. Actually, to tell you the truth, the way the Police Force trains new drivers might be too short for them to take the wheel immediately. Those without driving licences go for a 2-week crash course, after which they are more or less guaranteed a licence. Then they go on a 1-day Police Driving Course, which just brings them from one end of the island to another end. So, they only have, at most, 1-month's worth of training before they are allowed to drive patrol cars. Not very right, right? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

questionedfish Clutched February 10, 2011 Share February 10, 2011 (edited) SAF class 4 driver training also 1 month only leh but I don't see SAF vehicles in accidents that often? because SAF veh accident = DB straight? or maybe they're limited to 50kmh, thats why.
