Jellandross Supersonic February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 i know i probably can't. considering the fence is obstructing the view of the other side of the road and the speed of the running kid. hope the little girl is fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMh7LeoFJ6E ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahgong Supercharged February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 nope, i also dun think i can brake in time. i really hope the little girl is ok. the bang looks serious as she flew off quite a distance after the impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 (edited) lucky the driver installed a car cam, but then no one can avoid if someone dash out like that. having said, if my wife is in the car, she will help to look out to both side of the road to see potential dasher! then i will go very slow.

Caravan 5th Gear February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 Highly likely unable to brake in time. Further the girl is short so could have been obstructed by green barrier. IMO, they should extend the green barrier all the way covering the bus stops. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxilplix Turbocharged February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 From the video, I wouldn't have been able to brake in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiphiphoray 6th Gear February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 This is bad.....hope the girl recovers. How come the fences stops at the most important section where it matters ? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kia0042 2nd Gear February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 Oh dear, hope the girl is ok. It happened too fast, it is not possible to brake in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason016 Supersonic February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 I hope the girl recovers! Was she running for the bus? Wouldn't have been able to brake in time given the video. I feel sorry for the driver as well. Traumatic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcann 6th Gear February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 Negative for me as well Hope the little girl is ok. As parents we must drill into the mind of our little ones about road safety again and again and again. And again. For my two naughties I always ask them if it is safe to cross a road when I am with them. Their assessment is so far so good and I can only hope when they are alone to make any crossings, they will be able to remember the nagging words from their old man 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know cos i chase and hop on a moving bus when i was a kid, thank god i survive the fall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingkong 5th Gear February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 I know cos i chase and hop on a moving bus when i was a kid, thank god i survive the fall Haha me to. Ran straight towards a moving motorbike chasing the bus. Nabei, who would have thought a bike coming from the bus-door side... In my mind, I thought this time hongkang liao. Lucky both bike and myself stopped in time, just touching each other. Anyway, I find the authorities here always plant, or erect, objects to 'purposely' obstruct our view of oncoming vehicles. I have to use the word 'purposely' because I feel anyone with a bit of brain would not have put the object in that manner. Eg for left turn corners at zebra crossing, they need to plant bushes with height of a kid. Just waiting for similar accident to happen... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othello Supersonic February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 no way any driver could have braked in time, unless travelling at 5-10kmh. The girl dashed out right after where the barrier/fence ends. I do hope the girl is fine bar some minor injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aventador 6th Gear February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 I will not be able to brake in time, and would not try Honestly, i saw something in my peripheral vision coming in the video Instinctively would have swerved to the left to avoid whatever it was, probably car go up the kerb and damaged the car or get whacked by a car in other lane but human life more important i guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Bear Turbocharged February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 That is why the speed limit in estates is 50 or 60km/h. Even if cannot avoid, the damage will not be so great. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so sorry for this kid~! and the heart ache the parents must be going thru rite now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzy Twincharged February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 Thats the reason for having low speed limits on these kind of roads. If the driver was one of those who love driving on these kind of roads at high speeds then the girl will probably be dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Bear Turbocharged February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 Outside Block 406A Sembawang Drive. Quite common place for such accidents. due to the bend and bus-stop combination. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
