Both pedestrian n driver has their own individual part to play. Yes, small road drive so fast for what? Going to report to 7th mth hell gate? Pedestrian shouldn't always assume that vehicles should give way to them (unless it's a zebra crossing or normal road junction with green man). Want to jaywalk, please open your eye big big !

 

*** off track abit.. To those matured adult with young kids: please set a good example to your kids by using zebra crossing! ***

I think the guy vision is blocked by the reversing lorry head facing out occupying lane 2 and 1/4 of lane 1 and he at 1st thought it is safe to cross after lorry pass him. He only realise when he make 1/2 way through that a car seems come quite fast and he has to run, if not sure hit him.

 

Even though the guy is careful, he must also be aware of the vision is blocked by the reversing lorry. So this kind of incident teaches us to not to take chances, be it driving or crossing the road when vision is blocked by vehicles. An example would be, turning right or making a u-turn when vision is blocked by heavy vehicles on the opposite side also making right turn. Many drivers would take the chances and just turn when they assume or think that should be no vehicles coming and that's when accident happen.

Just move your right foot smoothly lo. Won't jerk at all. If need to brake, got to clutch in first or else sure jerk la.

no worries not insinuating anything. :)

 

Thought the common style is like drag about half the distance of the level, clutch in roll......1/2 clutch up slope & repeat.....

i think pedestrians who are not drivers themselves tends to naively take things for granted, like assuming cars will always slow down for them, drivers can always see them appearing from nowhere, the brakes will always enable a car to stop in time.. etc. they are unable to appreciate the challenges and blind spots from a driver's perspective and hence is oblivious to how dangerous jaywalking can be if it is not being done mindfully.

 

by pausing and slowing down the video, you will see that the crucial moment is when the jaywalker turned his head to the right, he already had line-of-sight of the lexus approaching from behind the reversing lorry. the lexus was only a few meters away from him. but instead of stopping or stepping backwards, he continued forward and subsequently took a big step forward when he realized he isn't going to make it in time. there was no hesitation to his forward stride.

 

so the question as a pedestrian is, why would you continue walking forward onto the path of an approaching car that's only a few meters away? what's the thought process behind this (suicidal) decision?

lol, i think that means i have a fatter left leg ......

 

but everyone try to slow down at those narrow roads with vehicles parking at both sides as alot of people like to walk infront/behind and inbetween cars without checking for oncoming cars.

if i am fast and reckless, Uncle Yan from 18 levels of Hell will have many recruits for every of his mono-intake. -_-

3rd Gear

A few factors resulting in the near accident:

 

1. Reversing lorry probably distracted Lexus driver, and the driver wasn't looking sufficiently far ahead.

 

2. Reversing lorry blocked gung ho jay walker from seeing Lexus early enough.

 

3. Jay walker is probably the kind who needs to maintain a cool composure. So cannot lose face by retreating.

Usually, this mentality stops at secondary school. But you see old uncles needing to keep up this composure as well.

 

4. Jay walker spoilt by years of courteous drivers who do slow down to let jay walkers cross the road safely. And assumes every car will stop swee swee for him.

 

5. Lexus heavily tinted. Jay walker attired in dark colours. Hard to spot!

2nd Gear

the car speed OK lar..the pickup in front was travelling "fast" too but with poorer braking performance and the jaywalker dont know how to jaywalk..... walking in FRONT of a car!!!!!! ...he gamble with his life hoping the car will slow down??? where got so stupid ppl one (ok lar...everyday see these kind of ppl, walking across zebra crossing without stopping and looking up, thinking all the cars will automatically stop for them..they think all SG drivers are well trained with excellent driving skills and sharp reflexes)

 

Most likley Jaywalker and Car play a game of chicken..and both flinch, the car brake and swerve..the jaywalker started to run....This jaywalker cannot beat young girls with headphones on (YES those HUGE headphones that blocks most of the environment noise ou), typing love message on HP and not even looking up when crossing the road...oblivious to their near death experience.
