Kusje Supersonic September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 How can the taxi driver be considered to have been negligent? What kind of ridiculous law is this? Also, that woman must have something to hide if she disappeared so quickly. Probably an illegal immigrant or working illegally. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dice 3rd Gear September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 cabbie tio liak by causing death is correct as a default treatment, getting caught and guilty-as-charged is diff, so presumed innocent until proven, lets hope the witness(es) who saw that man walking over and then laying on road will help the cabbie. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dleodleo Twincharged September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 OMG! It happened at 3.15am. Maybe the taxi driver was too tired to notice or the road conditions was unfavourable to the taxi driver? No matter what, the taxi driver was considered wrong for not noticing an "obstacle" on the road. Poor taxi driver. Aiyo! Why he go and lie on the road? 害人害己. RIP! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
