BAD driversseriously, where have all these people manners gone to? left it at home? and how on earth did they pass their driving tests to get their dumb ass license to drive?
i'm pretty sure most of us had encountered incidents with these kind of drivers. one word to describe them all. BAD.
Such as cutting lanes inappropriately, not giving way when they're supposed to, rushing to beat the red light, or driving as though they think they're in a F1 race, or driving as if their cars were the bad ass cars that rock big time.
What's worse. Is zooming across the zebra crossings or at traffic lights when you're about to step onto the road or had just stepped onto the road, giving you the fright of your life.
It happened yesterday morning. Monday. a bad enough day. Wasn't exactly in a good mood either. And here comes a BAD driver honking at me early in the morning! He had the bloody cheek to honk at me when i crossed the road with green man Flashing! wtf? He think as long green means go? Honking quite loudly at me for at least 3 seconds, pressing twice? Not to mention, there was someone who crossed the road earlier then i did. Who the hell did he thought he was? the king of the road, bloody bad ass car that needs to honk to get attention? I'm the pedestrian who was in the bloody right of way!
Oh. i forgot to mention. he had a triangle plate . How on earth did he get his license? And his car, nothing much to be proud of, other then "owning a car". need i say more?
So much for it being more safe to cross at traffic lights technically. I figure we all had experiences with drivers who zoom past just as you stepped out onto the road when green man is on. But with drivers like these? How safe can it be? That's when accidents happen. And at the most, the driver will get banned from driving, fined and guilty conscience for the rest of his life. But for the pedestrian? He could have just lost his life, or be paralyzed, just like that.
I had rarely used the traffic light near my office, and when i used it? i had a bloody wake up fright of my life first thing on a blue morning. So much for teaching kids to cross the road at traffic lights and zebra crossings. i feel more safe jay walking almost half the time. Instead of making sure people kept to rules, make sure they used the traffic light and not jay walk by fining them. How bout some kind of bigger fines for these BAD drivers?
Afterall, Singapore is such a
Fine city. That figures ain't it?
