I was waiting at the Bus Stop outside Yishun Avenue 1. The bus stop was sardine packed as it was peak hour and everyone was rushing home to be with their family. I was thinking,'' When will be the bus arriving? I have been waiting here for a LONG TIME!'' Just when I was fustrated and was on the verge of hailing a taxi to go home, I heard a loud screeching sound, followed by a crashing sound.
I was not prepared to see what had happened. An brand new Mazda had just flipped over a guardrail and up the side of a hill. The windscreen of the car was badly smashed and pieces of broken glass were scattered over the road. Some motheres hurriedly covered the eyes of their children from witnessing the horrifying accident.Onlookers were crowding at the spot of the accident
Just at this moment, I thought,'' This accident must be brought to the attention of the Straits Times Interactive Portal (aka STOMP)''. Immediately, I fished out my camera enabled phone. took a photograph of the accident and sent it to STOMP.
Soon, the wailing sounds of the police cars and ambulance sailed down the road. After the authorities had attended to the injured passengers and took down details of the accident, I hailed a taxi and went back home.
In my opinion, Singaporean drivers should be more careful and considerate in their driving behaviour. This is why Singaporean drivers are under the list of '' Countries whom drivers are rude and inconsiderate''. To erase their names from this blacklist, they should take action. Be more considerate on the road. basic eqiuttes like signalling when overtaking, not tailgating, so on so forth. By doing so, Singapore can be a more kind and graceful society.
