Been talking about doing it for years already! LTA been progressively changing those hot spots to controlled turning.. Personally discretionary right turns may not be the sole culprit.. GPS is another one.. these days people focus is either GPS or for PHV the booking app.. these take their eyes off road and they will just listen to "Turn right turn right..." bearing in mind those who use the booking app their age is as old as me so the brain not as agile.. they need more time to react.. me inclusive 😁 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't drive if you find discretionary right turns dangerous. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didu Turbocharged October 18, 2022 Share October 18, 2022 MOM usually comes down hard on companies with workplace fatalities. In PHV case, Grab may be held accountable if the vehicle missed its periodic safety inspection. Otherwise the driver mostly bear the responsibility. Grab driver dies after accident at Ang Mo Kio junction; 40th workplace fatality in 2022 The accident in Ang Mo Kio occurred as the driver was making a discretionary right turn. It is the 40th workplace fatality this year, said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) on Monday. According to the ministry, the Grab driver was ferrying a passenger along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 towards Buangkok Green. He was making a discretionary right turn at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2 when a lorry travelling in the opposite direction collided with his car at about 1pm. There has been an increase in the number of workplace fatalities. The 40 fatalities reported so far this year exceed the figure of 37 reported for the whole of last year. It prompted the Manpower Ministry to impose a mandatory safety time-out last month for companies in higher-risk sectors. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/ang-mo-kio-accident-grab-driver-40th-workplace-fatality-discretionary-right-turn-3011386 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either lorry beating red light or phv badly executed the discretionary right turn. Impact must be super jia lat as the whole roof ripped away from the windscreen. Fortunately no front passenger in car. saw from another video the footage prior to this accident, lorry pick-up rather fast at the previous junction, think don't even bother to slow down at this junction. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for truck/bus/taxi/phv the road is their workplace. Appropriate or not. I know the roads arent 100% safe. There are many things that can take place. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just how much more or how much less at fault. Some more this is a discretionary right turn. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
