Traffic Safety

For the past few weeks, I have been pretty thankful that I do get a ride to school. And sometimes, I’m lucky enough to be able to drive myself back.

What struck me is that, there are a lot of traffic accidents on the road. Everyday. Every morning. Every evening. It’s like there is not a single day that I hear that there ain’t no traffic accident.

The other day, I was stuck in a jam on the PIE for one full hour. There was an accident involving multiple vehicles near Bukit Timah.

It was just two seconds, a glimpse, but the image stays etched in my mind.

It was a white cloth, a body losing its warmth; a face that will remain faceless to me; someone whom I’ll have never seen nor will ever known.

But it remains in my mind till today.

Drivers, riders and pedestrians - please for your sake, drive, ride and walk responsibly.

Drivers, please signal before you change lane. Other motorists can’t read your mind.

Riders, please don’t swerve in and out of the lanes. An inch of difference could cost you your life.

Pedestrians. Never trust motorists. Stop. Look. Walk. Please.
