One can never take road safety for granted. There is a purpose behind inculcating a sense of road safety in us from a young age. Watch what happens when you take a chance and throw your road safety knowledge and guidelines out the window: What Happened? The accident occurred along Pasir Ris Drive 1, involving a taxi and a cyclist. A cyclist was cycling across a pedestrian crossing when a taxi performing a discretionary left turn started to accelerate as he approached the junction. Due to the lack of lights and reflectors and the dark coloured clothing donned by the cyclist, the cyclist's road presence was hardly noticeable. The taxi driver likely did not spot the cyclist while he was cycling across the pedestrian crossing. As a result, the taxi driver rammed into the cyclist rather forcefully, which sent him crashing headfirst onto the road. The Injury The cyclist injured his head, causing his forehead to bleed. He was subsequently conveyed to the hospital for medical attention. Who do you think is at fault? The taxi driver, cyclist or both? Netizens' Comments Indeed. NGL this is somewhat true. He's paying the price for forgetting the most important, yet cheap safety component. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

'Crazy Taxi' is a popular game of the late 1990s to 2000s, which requires you to pick up passengers and drop them off at their location in the quickest time possible. It also allows you to drive freely and perform 'crazy stunts' to earn additional tips. Unfortunately, this one cabby took the game too seriously: What Happened? This peculiar incident occurred at the Dover Park Connector, where a taxi driver somehow drove his taxi in. I have no idea how he managed to accomplish such a feat. The only way to find out is to watch his dashcam footage (if he has). The taxi driver was spotted driving on the pavement along the canal, which attracted stares from pedestrians and cyclists. And yes, they were stares of bewilderment. Subsequently, the taxi drove up the pedestrian ramp, squeezing his way past some pedestrians. NGL, the journey up the pedestrian ramp reminded me of the S-course back in the driving circuit. Did He Get Out? Unfortunately, the video does not show if the taxi driver managed to figure his way out of the park connector. Considering how he managed to end up in a random park connector, I highly doubt he would be able to find his way out on his own. Chances are, he would require the necessary assistance of the authorities to navigate out of the park connector. Netizens' Comments After that day, he is never using the GPS anymore. @To all driving instructors, please don't bring your student driver here whenever the circuit is fully booked. Optimistic thinking. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community. Join us today!
