Dog on a bike.

I wonder, if that is legal in SG?



But Doris & I did put our dog Jr in a bag which was strapped between us on a bike.

Speeding drivers told off by school children

Speeding motorists in Norfolk are being shamed into slowing down - by getting a ticking off from the young children their action could endanger.

Norfolk police unveiled the unusual weapon aimed at making motorists cut their speed, at the top of Barrett Street in Norwich on Monday.

The road, which has recently changed from 40mph to 30mph, is near Tuckswood Primary School, and children and staff there have become so fed up with motorists not taking notice of the speed limit signs, they decided to join police on a mission to stop speeding motorists in their tracks.



Anyone caught speeding was then given a choice - to face a maximum penalty £60 fine and three points off their licence or have a dressing down from local schoolchildren.

And while the majority took what they thought would be the easier option, being told off by the schoolchildren, many were left red-faced and embarrassed after the children pleaded with them to curb their speed.

Speaking about the scheme, Pc Leo Blyth said: “Having the children tell the motorists off actually has more of an impact than if it was a police officer. A lot of the motorists have said how ashamed they felt afterwards and the message has really hit home to them.”

How old should one stop driving?



Like the title, how old should one stop driving?

In the report, it just sayz that they need to take a fitness check...
Check what?? If they can still turn the steering wheel? They have power steering now.
To see if they can activate the windshield wipers? They have sensors to detect rain for that now.

Or were these tests like what we did when we applied for a driving lesson?
e.g.
Color blind tests.
Eye Sight Test?
What about older folks who may be alittle slower on the reaction to the fast lanes / cars?
etc?

But really, when should they stop driving?

Is taking these test/s every 3 years going to be enough?

Sorry if I may have dissed anyone but IMHO, a car is nothing less than a dangerous weapon when it's belittled.

There have been too many cases of bike "accidents" which may have been prevented if car drivers were alittle more careful. If they had checked the blind spots more often. If they had more respect for life.

He rammed into the guy intentionally, kills the man and he publicly announces that he is only 70% regretful. What is wrong with the society that we are living in now?

If this was the case, what is going to stop a car drive from driving off after "nudging" a moving biker into an accident which may kill him?

If the car drivers were more like this driver in Taiwan, things may have been alittle more different.

A BIKER died after he lost control of his motorcycle about 10.30am on Sunday.

Mr Ranjit Kumar, 28, was travelling along Woodlands Avenue 7 towards Woodlands Avenue 2 when his motorcycle hit a central divider and next, the railing.

Both the biker and his 18-year-old pillion, believed to be a colleague, were thrown off the motorcycle. They were both rushed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

Mr Ranjit was pronounced dead at 10.40am in the hospital.

The pillion rider suffered fractures and multiple abrasions.

Sometimes I do wonder if the authorities perform further investigate such accidents rather than just classifying these as normal accidents.

I mean, 10.30am... I don't think he's sleepy / drunk right?
Was this biker "nudged" off the road?

What really happened?

But take a careful look @ the news report...
The accident happened @ 10.30am in Woodlands but he was pronounced dead in the hospital @ 10.40am in TTS.

I really gotta give it to the guyz / galz driving the ambulance for being there so quickly @ sending him to the hospital so quickly as well!
10 mins!!!
It's gotta be a record!

SG Ambulances Rocks!

Bikers lose out in the end...

What else can I say except to share this article?



Worse of all, with drivers like this... and getting off so lightly, IMHO, this is sending the wrong signal to arrogant driver around.


He intentionally knocked a man down which caused the young man to die.

Is a life so worthless these days?
Is the line between accident and murder so grey now?

Road bumps??

Recently there were more of these around my housing area.

Road Bumps.

These were not Humps which makes vehicles go slower... these were supposed to be "dividers"!

But looking @ the condition of these things... I think some poor blokes needed new rims too.




I cannot imagine if bikers were to hit these things while turning / overtaking...

Who can they pursue this matter with?

Who is responsible?

Are these things doing more good or damage?

IMHO... they seem to have created more business for the tyres and rims companies.

Parking Inconsiderates.

Sometimes, I wonder how do they sleep??

There were only 2 lanes... they had to park there to congest the road to
1. Save a parking coupon?
2. To save walking afew more steps?

What??
