Jaywalkers
-
from my observations, other than North Bridge Road the area near St Andrew's Cathedral where jaywalking is always an issue, the other place where jaywalking is getting out of hand is at the junction outside Ang Mo Kio MRT.
every morning and evening at the junction's traffic lights, before the green man flashes, not just 1 or 2 but legion of pedestrians will already walk to the middle of the road already in the mist of heavy traffic. really got to admire their bravary.
anyone care to share similiar experiences? -
Uh, junction of poh huat road west and yio chu kang road.

should make a law where ppl are protected from jaywalkers.
so if you bang down a jaywalker... it is not illegal and you won't be in trouble. -
I often see chinese national jaywalkers near my block...and they just dun look for the incoming vehicles who often has to brake hard to avoid hitting them.
anyone observed the same thing? -

I once encounter a dunkard jaywalking. Slow down for him, Horn at him and then high beam. Nothing got him to move faster. In the end he still show me his middle finger. I suddenly got the urge to bang him over.... But well....

I think the no jaywalking (pedestrains use crossing) signs in singapore are useless, pointless, waste of taxpayers money, and a waste of metal and materials. i prefer the signs in taiwan and japan. put on the fence in the middle of the road and put "NO JAYWALKING FINE $xxx" etc. singapore one 4.5m high up facing cars like every other sign. for car to see for what stupidity

SINCE when are the signs 4.5 metres high? haha.. maybe jaywalkers are giants.Originally posted by Tayysj:I think the no jaywalking (pedestrains use crossing) signs in singapore are useless, pointless, waste of taxpayers money, and a waste of metal and materials. i prefer the signs in taiwan and japan. put on the fence in the middle of the road and put "NO JAYWALKING FINE $xxx" etc. singapore one 4.5m high up facing cars like every other sign. for car to see for what stupidity
Anyway, talking about chinese nationals, i ALMOST bang down 2 jaywalkers on East Coast EXPRESSWAY.
you know there is a gentle bend aroudn the exit to Siglap. They were attempting to cross behind the bend and worse they were wearing dark clothes.
WHen i realised they were there, i was like 1 seconds away from them. how do you expect me to avoid them?
Now the law is still too complicated if you kill a jaywalker, most of the time you get off with negligent act causing death.
Also dependant on the person you killed also....in order from most serious
1) Ang moh, very seroius offence
2) white collared foreigner or talented foreigner (eg Melvin Tan)
3) tourists
4) Kids and students
5) white collared, middle class locals
6) All other Singaporeans
7) Foreign construction workers
people in Vice industry
9) Illegal immigrant. -
why would it matter?? they arent even supposed to be here anyway not our fault... we should get a reward..Originally posted by Ponders:9) Illegal immigrant. -
someone should start a petition
