Yup... She was a big lady and she had difficulty walking... And had to take short breaks even after walking about 50m.... I would usually she her resting at the car park which is about 50m from the bus stop ... But on that fateful day,  the minibus "did not expect" her to cross the road.

Don't be so evil la.

It's obvious the uncle having problem walking and already limping but still must work. Just let him pass lor. Looks like a delivery guy.

There are people who have to endure the hot sun outside working while some of you are working from the comfort of your home. 

But the driver focus is probably on his left so I don't blame him. If he saw the old uncle, he will probably give way one. 

Live and let live, more so for times like this. 

I understand the person has problem walking, but this doesnt give him the right to anyhow cross the road without due care. I have saw before those eldery who is having problem walking with their walking stick, did not use the pedestrian light to cross and simply just jaywalk across the road. This is dangerous for everyone lo.

They usually also have issues with making judgements not just physical movements. Like kids. No point getting worked up. Just be careful when you see them nearby, like you would when you see kids.

Look at this video. Do you see any traffic light? If I remembered correctly, this whole stretch of Sin Ming don’t have traffic light till at the junction.

He where got anyhow cross? He was walking so slowly. Was he on his handphone or listening to music? Or running across? That’s anyhow cross.

So how you want him to cross this road? Walk few hundred meters to a traffic light crossing?

confirm. I can only go "WAH LAO EH" and slow down. Plenty of old folks really cross like they own the road. Pretty nothing much we can do ....

Disregarding the fact that he crossed at a junction where vehicles are expected to turn right, there is a possibility that he was in a blind spot of the van driver, and the driver could also be in a rush to clear the junction, not expecting the jaywalker.

Notwithstanding that, I hope the uncle is recovering well.

I would not get worked up but what i meant is when i see them crossing road really skip a heart beat for them. Cause not all drivers on the road would be so careful to look out around their surrounding de. So the pedestrian themselves when crossing the road also need to be careful and look around them, although like you said they have issues with making judgements also.

But when accident happened, no matter what reasons, driver would always in the wrong.

Let's disregard this blind spot malarkey once and for all.

It  is every driver's responsibility to be aware of his blind spots and to shift his head such that he can see into blind spots.

Dun have to phrase it until like that. Not difficult to let a limping individual cross right? Sow more good deeds lah. OK? 🙂

Be kind lah...Old man having difficulties in walking...I believe he had knocked his head on the ground...ouch!! May he gets well soon. 

It’s wrong with the jaywalk ...but the onus almost certainly on the driver...

aging population...more such stealth lurkers in not so far distant 

 

I believe the driver  have overlooked the pedestrain  because was paying full attention for vehicles coming from his left . The person can walk slowly but not at a junction like this.
