Road Safety!! Be Careful! Don't be Sorry!!

Hi Hi, I am back! Time flies..... My time at work passed very fast.... In an blink of eye, it is already june!!!!

Sights of horror to share:
On my last night duty, I boarded the bus 72 which were usually packed with people in the late evening. I managed to squeeze in and happened to stand next to the bus driver. While standing, my view was focused on the road. To my horror, I actually saw an elderly lady riding a bicycle on the side of the road, as if the road belonged to her. She was riding at her own pace, swaying from side to side and was oblivious that cars were zooming past her. The way she ride, she was just oblivous to danger that were just lurking around! The bus I was on, was right behind her...Fortunately, the bus driver was alert and consious to road safety.... He actually slowed down and allowed the elderly lady to ride slowly and safely in front before he stopped the bus at the bus stop!!! Phew!! That was close!!! It is very frightening that people do not have any safety consious on the road!!!

Now I finally can stand in my dad's shoes to understand why he never allowed my brother to ride on motorbikes and me travelling by bicycle to work!!! He is very very firm on these rules.. "Why expose yourself to danger when you can avoid!!"

Again, I had another fright in the morning after my night duty.... I promised to buy blood pressure monitoring set for my grandmother's friend, thus I went over to the polyclinic .. While I was waiting to cross the road, I saw an elderly lady standing on the road ( almost middle of the road) waiting to cross over... However it seemed that she had the concept that cars will avoid her .... and worse she actually looked in the opposite direction, The cars were zooming past her with her back facing them. OH my God!!! I was just holding my breath and breaking into cold sweat!!!!! What if she got knocked down and the the driver got charged for causing injuries or death to some one unluckily!!!!
害人害己!!!

luckily she managed to cross the road safety!!!! That was close!!!!
