1st Qn... how fast was he going and why was the vehicle like this?

I have never saw a worse Jam in my life of driving!!!

I was on my way to Jurong and we got stuck somewhere near Toa Payoh road.

Judging from the "speed" of the traffic... I knew something was really wrong.

I exited out from Steven's road and took the smaller roads to cut through Bukit Timah.

When I hear that there was an accident that involved a lorry, I had no idea it was that bad.

Looking @ the picture... all I can think of is...

1. Why did he "swerve" to the extreme right?
- Was he avoiding something?
- Was he over taking? Why should he be over taking? Is he allowed to over take?
- Did he lose control? If he was within speed limits, would the accident be this bad?

2. Why did the trailer flip?
- See above... how fast was he going? He was carrying 5 slabs of concrete... Just the weight alone... he's heavier than a tank... how did he flip??

IMHO, the companies should be responsible for their drivers and be made to pay for the inconvenience caused to the public.
*Like the MRT incident recently when 2 of their service trains collided.

Heavy vehicles these days are getting to aggressive and arrogant with the way that they drive which I have witnessed that could have caused serious accidents.

I have tried to complain to the authorities before... but the impression that they have given was... Since there are no "accidents" or "injuries"... no actions will be taken. Their numbers will not even be stored for recording purposes.

I guess perhaps that's why the public is so tired of giving "feedback" to the authorities. As they have a tendency to brush it off as another "complaint".

Sad.

IMHO, I believe that such a Database would "wake" those reckless driver up and let them know that they are being watched, not only by the authorities, but also by the public.

You give bikers a bad name

IMHO, these bikers give SG bikers a bad name...

But I can feel their pain.



Unlike cars, these ERP readers are exposed.


and the cash cards need to be taken out everytime if it's not in use.
(Else, it may get stolen)

Mine got stoles afew times when I forgot to take out mine.

For those people who say that these can be locked up... think again... Would you lock it on the bike if it was yours? Have you seen the flimsy plastic which is "supposed" to be the "ring"
for the lock?

IMHO, the designer was surely not a biker himself / herself.

Oh yes, this includes the recent implementation of the RFID parking thingie...

Who in the world would want to expose that RFID Tag when replacing that thing cost money?

Did they even think about the bikes when they designed that / those thing / things?
Sad....

When they implement the GPS thingie for the usage of "your" vehicle, I wonder how is it going to be designed for bikes.

Reckless Car drivers

Some car drivers are so.... in a rush... sometimes it's not really surprising to "see" such accidents.

But sometime I think the authorities should do something about it though.




Example?

1. Check these drivers' mobile to see if they have been using the mobile when the accident happened.

2. Check their records for past speeding offenses

3. Have a database to hold records of complaints from member of the public of reckless drivers to enforce point 2.

Just to name afew.

Did she deserve it?? Parking Inconsiderate

I do not condone to vandalism but this article really made me laugh!

*IMHO, I'd laugh harder if I knew who the owner was.

Who is right? Who is wrong?

The car owner parked her car without thinking of other road users and got this...

Did she deserve it?

:)



All I can say is... Car owner... There is a chinese saying... Walk too much @ night, one day will meet ghost!

:)

Creating more demand??

It's a well known fact that SG has little space for cars to park.

But creating lesser parking lots?


When supply goes down, what goes up?
You have the answer to that.

And with this article... it sounded really contradicting.

Can't stand Parking Inconsiderates!!!

Dun understand why...

Such inconsiderate people.

I saw this lorry driver and told him that he was blocking me but he said "no le... can still come out" and he walked off...


Does this look alittle "cramp" to you??


In front of that Matrix was these cars.



What happened was, soon after I took these picts, the car owners came back...

But what was surprising was... they still refused to move.

Fine... I called the magic number.
1800-2721409 - Car Park Reinforcement.

When they saw me do that, they came to me and heard me say their car plate numbers to the officer over the phone.

Guess what, rather than moving off, they came to confront me.

Shouting, "who do you think you are? What gives you the right to do this?"

Isn't it surprising how some people who is @ fault acting like they are right?

I just said, "you are blocking my bike."

And they could still repeat, "who do you think you are? What gives you the right to do this?"

Obviously, they were not listening... so I quit explaining and continued my call.

Soon his family came and join in the yelling too... "Who do you think you are?" "What gives you the right to do this?"

I was so tempted to tell them, "I am a member of the public who cannot move his bike due to inconsiderate people like you!" But I took it all in...

By then the lorry owner came back and I told him... "see, so do you think you are blocking my bike??"

He kept apologizing but it was too late, I had given his number plate to the authorities.

One of the car shown here... actually drove off... but I guess he was still pissed coz I ignored him... turned around with him family in the car this time. I think he wanted to take a picture of my bike... for what?? I do not know... But what I can say is that when he was my bike... He did not take a pict... but reversed and drove off.

I guess it pays to ride a big bike.

Accidents Montage

A "nice" montage of accidents.

The stunts were ok....

But the accidents that happened in Public Roads were... Silly.

I mean, for most of the stunts... the roads were blocked from the public to ensure safety.
But the ones where the stunts were done on public road... well... IMHO, they asked for it.
