STOMPer JD was appalled at the lack of patience drivers
displayed at an accident site in Novena, as they honked and refused
to give way to an ambulance. Yes, it is peak hour, but somebody was
hurt and needed help urgently, she reasons.
JD commented:
"This picture was taken earlier this evening (May 13).
"An accident occurred at the cross junction at Novena. Although
there were no fatalities, the motorist, a lady, was hurt from the
impact of the accident, even though she immediately got up after
the crash.
"Also, the driver of the other car involved was nice and did not
hit-and-run despite the peak hour traffic.
"Here's the best part however. The ambulance and police were stuck
in the heavy traffic because nobody wanted to give way! Instead,
everybody honked at the ambulance which approached the accident
site thinking the injured person was still there, when she had
already been escorted to a seating area nearby.
"When the ambulance tried to make its way nearer to where the
injured woman was, all the drivers and motorists started honked
again!
"Goodness! It's an ambulance for crying out loud and the very fact
that its making its way to the pavement shows that someone needs
help!
"Come on Singaporeans! Please learn to be patient and
cultured!!!"
