Basically I am lucky to be alive now and to be posting this
thread on this forum. I was in the midst of crossing the road over
a pedestrain crossing just now in front of Shaw Towers Bugis area
at 8.30pm this evening.
Yes, It is common nowadays for impatient car drivers to drive
their cars over the pedestrain crossings, while there are still
pedestrain passing and the pedestrain lights are still green. It is
totally understandable the phase of life is fast and everyone is
rushing for time. But this particular driver was pushing the
limits.
There I was crossing the road and car with license plate
SFZ2873B did a right turn into the lane I was on. Expecting him to
give way to me since the pedestrain light was still green and I had
the right of the way, I was in for a terrible surprise.
He instead of slowing down stepped down on the accelerator and
increased the speed of the car. Thankfully I jumped out of his way
in time. Otherwise, who knows I might have lost one of my limps due
to someone else's impatience.
Roads in Singapore are turning out to be very frightening
nowadays.
