The woman was seen quickly dashing through the road and through a long queue of vehicles in the centre lane.
With the woman running quickly like this, it would be impossible for any driver to stop in time. Even if the driver brakes immediately the woman appears 1cm after the driver won’t be able to stop in time.
The incident happened yesterday (Feb 20) at around 11AM along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3.

Netizens call out for justice
In Singapore, when a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle it almost 100% the driver’s fault and the driver gets punished for the reckless actions of others.

Many netizens expressed that the lady should be punished heavily stating:
- punish the law breaker (the jaywalker) not the car driver for he has done nothing wrong.
- fine the lady..!
Some netizens say no matter what happens driver will get the short end of the stick:
- IO will tell him failed to lookout for pedestrian.Been there.
- Â that’s the sickening part for a driver when they get involve in accident with Jaywalker.
- It doesn’t matter. I hit a cyclist at a traffic which the lights was in favour of me but cyclist still dash through without any regards of safety. Still was told by an IO that even if I’m right the case will be against me failure to lookout for a pedestrian/cyclist
