Recently read this article about a Singaporean Dad who bought his son a Subaru Wrx as a present. His son dropped off his girlfriend at her house and proceeded to meet his friends around the Tuas area, he never made it. He died in a high speed crash, which are becoming all too common nowadays.

Awhile back...a 24 year old guy caused the death of a Mazda sales assistant, when the MX-5 he was driving hit the road divider and flipped. She died of neck injuries. The MX-5 is considerably a less powerful car than the WRX.

Recently, a 21 year old SMU student also died in a road crash.

Again this brings about the road attitude of Singaporeans. Every morning on my way to work. I have to fight tooth and nail to get out of Eng Neo exit and back into Kallang Way exit. On certain days, its ok, on some days, its horrible.

Obviously buying ur inexperienced son a powerful car is foolhardy, but thats just the tip of the problem. Driving in Singapore for awhile, invokes this vicious cycle. This cycle is inherent with the general attitude of Singaporeans. "rush rush rush" "no time no time".

This attitude causes most of the fatal accidents on the road today.

Speeding with discretion when the occasion befits it, is OK. I do it, everyone does it. However excessive speeding on a crowded road is terrifying, because in SG..no one every keeps to their lanes properly. All it takes is one fella who wanders of out his lane + one very fast incoming car and u get a SWERVE, SKID and CRASH.



1) Don't Over-take on single lane road going uphill. Esp when you can't see over the hill.

2) Don't Hit the accelerator hard to close a gap on the freeway. This is how most head-butts happen, slowly ease ur foot on the accelerator and get ready to brake if needed.

3) Vans, Lorries and SCOOTERS...pls refrain from going on the right lane of the highway if you're going to crawl at 70km/h its super irritating. This behaviour explains why the PIE crawls in the morning..

4)Bikes don't ride on the line, can't tell if you're on the left lane or right lane, sometimes when ppl attempt to overtake, you will suddenly cut back into you're prefered lane and get hit.

5) Don't overtake using the roadshoulder, because in the morning its crowded with bikes waiting for the ERP to switch off (9am)

6) Pedestrians shouldn't assume that cars will just stop for you at the zebra crossing...MAKE SURE THE CAR IS STOPPING

7) Don't ride your $#*^*&#^%(#$&^%$ bicycle in the middle of the raod, YOU ARE NOT..a vehicle!

8) Don't jog with a partner side by side on the road, one should be behind.
