Vratenza Supersonic August 8, 2017 Share August 8, 2017 Frankly it is all a matter of setting the right KPI. If the KPI is for number of debris or pot holes spotted and resolved by the LTA enforcement officers. I can bet my last dollar we will have Asia's version of Autobahn. Sometimes I see pieces of wood on the road, I think when a speeding bike comes sure kena one. The usual suspect is lorries dropping shitload on the roads without properly securing what they are carrying. And LTA doing what ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Turbocharged August 8, 2017 Share August 8, 2017 There is a lot of unemployment/under-employment among the younger folks also, including graduates. Allowing them to drive for Uber/Grab will make the statistics look less worse, and they have some income of course. And of course drive up rental demand for PHVs directly increasing COE bidding. I agree too. But this phv thing has to be better managed.. such as training. With proper and adequate education, I believe youngsters can be taught to be careful behind the wheels too. Right now this part isn't done enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvobrick Supersonic August 8, 2017 Share August 8, 2017 Seem like the negligent driver of the Vezel is a PHV driver and the couple and infant at the back was the fare. Is there mention of a couple behind? One passenger "crawled" out - male or the same female passenger? The report is not very clear... If indeed another PHV, it is about time LTA buck up and impose more stringent requirements on the drivers. Frankly it is all a matter of setting the right KPI. If the KPI is for number of debris or pot holes spotted and resolved by the LTA enforcement officers. I can bet my last dollar we will have Asia's version of Autobahn. There will be unintended consequences - the officers may secretly dig up the roads at night and then self-report, improving their KPIs. Like the Italian firemen setting off fires recently. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob79 Twincharged August 8, 2017 Share August 8, 2017 we have to give too many people the benefit of the doubt then, u can see that people never queue up and just cut in last min and expect people to give in to them Usually I will let them cut in, giving the benefit of doubt they are in a hurry, but if they drive slowly or leave more than 5 car spacing, I will undertake or overtake them."Let you filter in doesn't meant allowing you to hog me." 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual suspect is lorries dropping shitload on the roads without properly securing what they are carrying. And LTA doing what ? Some lorry drivers use them as wheel chocks. Others even dangle trolleys from tailgates. LTA and TP probably taichi-ing who should be looking into this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mersaylee Supersonic August 8, 2017 Share August 8, 2017 This driver is 32 years old lor, not really young. Recklessness got nothing to do with age lah. Recent robbery case involved a 50+yo and a knife, as an example, when a piece of paper with $30000 written on it can accomplish the job liao...so reckless of him... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic August 8, 2017 Share August 8, 2017 After what you wrote, I re-read the article....you are right, the report is ambiguous and non-committal to the exact number of people involved. the reporter probably not sure him/herself and tried to smudge it over. Such is the quality of our local journalism. Is there mention of a couple behind? One passenger "crawled" out - male or the same female passenger? The report is not very clear... If indeed another PHV, it is about time LTA buck up and impose more stringent requirements on the drivers.

RIP. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/motorcyclist-dies-after-accident-along-pie-on-tuesday-9102036 SINGAPORE: A motorcyclist has died after being involved in an accident with a car along PIE near Dunearn Road exit on Tuesday morning (Aug 8), authorities said.

Fcw75 Hypersonic August 8, 2017 Share August 8, 2017 ð¤ I thought I saw the first rider sneak through before the SUV turtled and smashed into the 2nd rider sending him under the wheels of the truck... and the 3rd rider ran into the overturned SUV at that point... What am I missing? Yep u got it right now. So the 2nd rider that went under the lorry died. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
