On Monday, Xu Yuanyuan, 19, a Chinese national, was fined $1,500 after she admitted to causing hurt to cleaner Lock Wai Chee, 42, by doing a negligent act as to endanger his life. The court heard that Xu, a student, was waiting at the pavement of the Jalan Bukit Merah by Henderson Road junction on Dec 21 last year when she took a step forward when the traffic signal was against her. As a result, she collided into the cyclist who was cycling towards her from her right side along Henderson Road. Mr Lock was thrown off the bicycle and suffered serious head injuries. He died at 10.19pm. Xu could have been jailed for up to six months and/or fined up to $2,500. http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_679377.html ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have scolded the fella a few times, this is not china - gotta check for traffic before crossing. Seems they never teach how to check left and right before crossing road in china. because in china..... when a driver knocks down a jaywalker, the driver have to compensate... if the fella is paralaysed, etc for life... the driver will have to feed the fella for life... anyway indian FTs also more or less cross the same way too.... dunno if the same law applies in india Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
