Netizens’ comments
- Likely stepped to accelerator padel wrongly which supposed to stepping on to the brake! LTA should step in on how to prevent such happen again.
- What you want LTA to do? Drive the car for him and step on the pedal for him also meh. You goondu or what
- I’d like to give benefit of the doubt… And not call reckless immediately.. Probably Either sudden physical impairment or mechanical failure or some sort…
- I always slow down when I reach junctions with small lanes joining from the sides. Cos I have jam braked many times to avoid cyclists, motorcycles and cars just shooting out from side roads to the main road. Cyclist cos they don’t know better, but surprised motorcyclists and cars routinely do it too.
