What's the sorry for? What did the driver do that is wrong?
In the first place, if crossing the road, the owner should have
leashed him, if not carry him. Is it the dog dash across his
cab?
Having said that, what the driver did that was wrong was to
drive off.
On top of that, when confronted, he can even said it's just a
dog.
I remember reading somewhere that he even question if the dog's
life is more important than him.
This one, I can tell, the dog's life is not more important than
his but is as important as his, at least to his owner.
What this TD should have done is to come out, not to apologise
but to justify that the dog ran into his path and he cannot stop in
time. He should also offer to send the dog for help or
whatever.
At such hot moment when emotions are high, the ability to think
logical is rather challenging and spur of a moment's decision -
using wrong - tends to be made.
what did the law says?
"Slow down on sight of pedestrain"
did the taxi slow down? NO,
did he almost hit the pedestrain? Yes. He almost hit the
lady.
So why isn't the taxi at fault?????
Although I drive taxi, but i cant defend fellow drivers in this
aspect, so many times, taxi refuse to give way when I'm a
pedestrain walking across the zebra crossing.
Did the taxi driver forget his highway code? slow down and
prepare to stop on sight of a pedestrain, even if the pedestrain is
jaywalking.
