"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.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli

    Fascinated by honey

    If there's one natural food (aka can be eaten raw) that I absolutely love, it's honey. Yes, there are countless varieties from around the world, but for this story, we'll talk about the kind that comes straight out of a hive, complete with honeycomb. I'm not an expert on this topic, but every time I consume raw, unprocessed honey, it tastes a lot better compared to honey that comes in a jar. No squeeze-bottle honey for me, please. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but raw honey doesn't
