let me state that this is not a bashing nor a "who's fault" thread hor. i was shocked after watching the video and i'm now very consciously aware that not only should i watch out for adults, but also potentially toddlers dashing onto the road. before the usual "it's the stupid kid's fault, he deserve it" comments, i want to say that the little tod don't look more than 3-4 years old, i.e: their behaviour are led more by impulses and stimulus and very little on logic and consequence. for people who don't have personal experience with your own kids, please do some research on child development before you start commenting. this further strengthens my belief that there should be absolute discipline when it comes to roadside behaviour with my kid. hand-holding is a must when walking beside the road, traffic crossing, walking in carpark area.. etc. i do not hesitate to discipline with a smack if basic rules are not followed. i can't help but worry for those toddlers who are given a free rein when walking in areas with moving vehicles.

What a sad story. This jaywalker should be jailed ======================================== http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_350719.html A MAN who dashed across the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) yesterday evening created chaos which led to five vehicles crashing near the Toh Guan exit. The aftermath of the series of collisions across the three-lane expressway left one motorcyclist pinned under a lorry. The 53-year-old man died soon after. Aircraft service engineer Alvin Tan, 45, who was in one of the cars involved, said the man who ran across the expressway was hit by another car which flung him into the lane he was travelling on. Mr Tan said he slowed down to avoid hitting him, but the motorcycle behind him bumped his car and the motorcyclist ended up being struck by the lorry. The 28-year-old man who ran across the road suffered slight abrasions and was arrested for his rash act. This is the X-hole (Blue shirt) who dashed across the PIE
