Two cars almost run over a little kid sitting on a skateboard at a zebra crossing
"Zebra crossings give pedestrians the right of way to cross the road ahead of motorists".
However, for motorists to give way to pedestrians, they must be visible to motorists.
Watch this video to understand what I mean:
What Happened?
This near-miss incident occurred at a zebra crossing in Boon Lay Way.
A kid attempted to "cross" a zebra crossing by sliding across a skateboard while sitting to the other side of the road.
In his first attempt to cross the zebra crossing, the cam car spotted him at the very last minute and performed a timely emergency brake.
At the same time, the kid saw the oncoming cam car and managed to stop in his tracks.
After the cam car passed, the kid made a second attempt to cross the zebra crossing while sitting on the skateboard AGAIN.
The second attempt was worse than the first.
He paddled while sitting on the skateboard, WITH HIS HEAD DOWN AND LOOKING ON THE GROUND.
Fortunately for this kid, all the stars were aligned.
He looked up and stopped in his tracks as an oncoming Toyota Prius drove through the zebra crossing.
Subsequently, the kid paddled back to the pavement for safety.
What's Going On?
The real question is, where are the parents/guardian of this kid?!
An incident such as this highlights the importance of instilling road safety and awareness in kids.
Hopefully, the kid learnt his lesson on the importance of road safety from this traumatising incident.
