What about first time near accident experience so I can
contribute a little.
At the filter left lane an hour ago, the zebra crossing was
clear of pedestrians, no incoming pedestrians spotted at the
junction either before I proceed to move towards the dotted
line.
Traffic on the right was moving straight, so I could've turned
without checking for clearance. No incoming cars before I merge
into the left lane anyway.
One malay boy came zooming from the frontal left. Almost knocked
him over. So I stopped. Not sure whether I should sound my horn,
wind down the wind screen and swear at him or do what, so I just
stopped, looked at him in utter shock before he picked himself up
from his bicycle all the while pointing at the zebra crossing (what
the fuck, I am already past the zebra crossing, thank fuck I
couldn't hear him at all, would've gotten down and hammered his
head with my cigarette box).
I'm done whining but he could've gotten himself injured.
I don't mind having license revoked or getting jailed and fined
but he seriously could've died. And it wouldn't have been well
worth it. Why suffer from an accident? Especially in a stupid
accident like this? Terrible day.
