It sickens me.......
-
I was taking bus this morning and I saw an old women trying to cross the road. She saw a car coming towards her and as the road was busy, she tried to run across, unfortunately she was probably stiff in the joints and she could only attempt to hobble and hop to the kerb. Fortunately she got across just when the car sped by.
For once I could not form an opinion on what I just saw. I could not say the old woman was playing with her life because the nearest traffic light is near for me, but not for her. There were no overhead bridges, and even if there were any I doubt very much if she could/would climb. So there was no option but to risk life and limb to cross the road.
And I find this really sad. I can't find solutions to this perennial problem and I can see all of us coming to this one day. -
hmm..u no help her cross the road? -

In case you're wondering, the only folks were in cars. But of course someone could have just stopped the car and helped, but I guess by the time you do that she's across liao!
My only fear was that she would fall, and the car mentioned did not bother to slow down. In fact it was like 50-50 when she crossed. -
who the fcuk cares.

Hard Gay Social Improvement!!
carry the old lady over.
well if you take a look, the govt is building more pedestrian overhead bridges and fencing the central dividers of roads.
so.... to the elderly, i dono. -

Pedestrians crossing at the wrong places.
I hope the drivers won't be punished for running over these people.
Jaywalk and die is no big deal.
It's like walking into a construction site, die then complain.
Drivers already fed up with other drivers, still have to contend with you?
If you can cross faster than the cars, go ahead.
You don't pay road tax, don't expect people who pay to drive on roads to give way to you. (Except at zebra crossings and traffic lights showing the green man to you and red light to drivers.) -

Pay road tax means you own the road ah ?
I pay road tax , I still give way to pedestrains and look out for elderly and young children.
It sickens me to see people like you driving on the road. -
i think some drivers are very impatient and cold, they should have slow down. I think they are just robots that stop only when they saw red lights.

Live to 85 and we will know... and hope we actually get to see our CPF...

firstly all of us will become old.
secondly, I believe these old folks still think they can make it, not knowing that they are a bit slower and less agile than before.
I used to be angry at them but then thinking back, who would want to do the things at old ages? aren't we supposed to be taking our pension, and enjoying life? so live and let live..
just slow down a bit, let them cross and makes both your day.
