P plate van loses control and hit pedestrians at Serangoon Road!

 

 

Wow

[Mkl22]

Wow ð®

 

I have said before most of these diesel vans drivers tend to treat their cars like F1 vehicles .

 

1) Hiace both G plate and the oversized PA bus

2) NV series Nissan vans

 

LTA must literally âPAâ aka slap these farkers hard or else they wonât learn and acknowledge their van bodies cannot handle the amount of torque the Diesel engines create .

 

Anyway whatever happen to the beeping device to warn these fella they exceed 70 km.hr????

Disagree. Don’t see why they must be singled out and treated different vs all other drivers and motorcyclist. It’s the person driving and not the machine.

Don’t see similar G plate type and vans in other countries subjected to 70kmh. Do they have a huge amount of accidents with such vehicles.

I politely disagree with you. It is from my observation , most private car driver tend to drive in a civil way, though I have to admit there are some who don’t and make it to social media aka viral.

 

But most of the commercial vehicles I encounter on the road tend to either

 

1) speed

2) follow you very closely expecting you to give way to them as they might be in a hurry to deliver their wares within a certain period

 

If based on your logic, are you saying those concrete truck should have their speed limit increase, no , I don’t think so.

 

I am of the view these PA and G plate should have their speed limit dialled to 50 km. Hr and additional enforcement taken .

Engineer who drove against traffic given mandatory treatment order after appealing against jail term

 

 

SINGAPORE - An engineer who drove against the flow of traffic on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) for about 2km was given a two-year mandatory treatment order (MTO) on Friday (April 26) after the High Court allowed his appeal against his original sentence of four weeks' jail.

 

Brandon Ng Hai Chong, 31, is also banned from driving for five years.

 

In allowing Ng's appeal, Justice Aedit Abdullah said the district judge who imposed the jail term last year erred in finding that rehabilitation was not the dominant sentencing principle in the case.

 

The judge, however, noted that if injury or damage had been caused, an MTO would not be appropriate.

 

Ng was driving home in his BMW at about 1.25am on Jan 5, 2017, after a drinking session with friends.

 

He missed a left turn into the AYE in the direction of the city and instead, entered the expressway heading towards Tuas.

 

Ng then made a U-turn and drove on the rightmost lane against the flow of traffic for two minutes, averaging a speed of 50kmh. At least three vehicles had to switch lanes to avoid a collision.

 

When he was near the exit to his Clementi home, he turned on his hazard lights and flashed his high beam at oncoming traffic, causing at least four vehicles to take evasive action.

 

Ng then made another U-turn to go with the flow of traffic, filtered left and headed home.

 

Three motorists called the police to report the incident.

 

After he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, he was assessed by the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) to be suffering from major depressive disorder at the time of the offence. The IMH psychiatrist recommended a two-year MTO.

 

However, Ng was sentenced to four weeks' jail and a five-year driving ban after he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.

 

The district judge who imposed the sentence said that while Ng was recommended for an MTO, his depression did not affect his impulsivity and that deterrence was still the dominant sentencing consideration.

 

Ng, who was represented by Mr Luke Lee, then appealed to the High Court.

 

Mr Lee argued that the district judge had failed to address why he steered clear from the psychiatrist's opinion.

 

He argued that an MTO could be ordered because a contributory link had been found between his psychiatric condition and his offending behaviour.

 

Rehabilitation should be the dominant principle, given that Ng's depression was treatable, he said.

 

Deputy Public Prosecutor Gabriel Choong argued that deterrence was necessary as public safety was involved and outweighed the principle of rehabilitation.

 

The DPP argued that Ng consciously drove in the way he did to reach the exit closest to his home.

 

But Justice Aedit said the district judge had failed to fully assess Ng's mental condition in context and inadvertently downplayed his true rehabilitative potential.

 

Treatment would also hopefully prevent future incidents, said the judge.

Wahlau, Psychiatrist can determine that patient was undergoing 'major depressive disorder' at time of offence....was the good Dr there at the scene or in the car with the offender?

Major Disorientated Driving

(after drinking) rephrased to Major Depressive Disorder.

DUI is DUI lah!

In other developed countries, big trucks have a blackbox to track acceleration, speed, driver rest time etc. So the driver can lose his job due to his reckless driving.

 

I don't think even our SBS Transit has strict rules on driver rest times. If the driver is late in returning due to traffic or whatever reason, it simply means his break time is being cut short. I've been to Europe and was stuck on the highway due to traffic jam. The driver pulled into the rest stop, saying 45 minute break because he has exceeded his driving time and must take this break before driving more.

Hardly see VW being used as PHV, but one thing proven is PHV has a consistent driving behaviour regardless the type of car.

I use Lane 1 less these days, full of newbies and Max Verstappen-wannabes .... 

 

Sometimes Lane 4 is faster. 

[Beanoyip]

After driving for a couple of weeks now.l I noticed a lot of cars just default filter to right most lane once entering the expressway, as if there’s imaginary DRS on that lane..
