Grass cutting on road side.

[Kilatz]

Actually wanted to post this some time ago but forgot about it until i kana this grass cutting again today.

 

For bros out there, please be aware wen passing near any grass cutting works on the road side.

Was passing by Old CCK when spotted some men using the typical grass cutting equipment... the one with the long pole with a piece of rotating plastic at the other end. They were about 5 meters from the edge of the road so i thought can pass by safely. As i pass by, i heard a twack and thought siao liao. True enough, when i check later, there is a slight dent with chipped paint where i think a piece of pebble has hit onto my front passenger door.

 

I can't and am not blaming the grass cutters for the whole thing... they are just doing their job. But just to warn bros to exercise some caution when near these grass cutters. As they sweep the cutter left and right, inadvertently some pebbles or stones may get whipped by the plastic cutter and get thrown into the air in all directions. In my case, tio the door. There is also the possibility of hitting the glass window or (even) windscreen??

 

Anyone experienced this before?

I remember I was standing roughly 20 metres from them and a pebble fly and hit my leg. Blu-Black for 3 days.

If door can dent, then windscreen crack is definitely a possibility.

 

Furry's case is the first i hear about windscreen tio... so now i better siam far far...

It happened to me before, truck with full load of pebbles in front, saw a couple drop and came hurtling towards my car, "twack"! Check bonnet and sure enough, paint chipped off in 2 areas

 

Now I try my best to avoid these hazards.

And try to avoid cement mixer truck also.

I didnt realise it until the evening of that day. Got 2 drop of cement on my bonnet. By that time dry and set already. Must carefully scrape off but until now still have mark. Hope when send for polishing it will help.

Those grasscutters can't be bothered about passerbys or cars parked along the kerb. My place nearby have alot of cars parked by the kerb, everytime grasscutters appear, someone in the family would notify us to shift our cars. But they can't wait for a few seconds one, even if we tell them to hold on. Children playing by the side also get hurt by flying grass or particles.. Very inconsiderate, they just hide among those noise when shouted at to stop.
