Road Safety

As you know, there are more and more accidents on the road, mostly caused by the new drivers. There's a lot who paid for getting licensed, as in even if you fail the test, you will still get your license. I also wrote about it in my exam karangan paper. See, haiz.... Ok, if you haven't learn driving, remember.. make it fair, it's also for your safety. As in, choose the one where you will get lisensed if only you passed the test. I mean, if you failed and got your license, you may cause an accident, and it may also hurt others. "Licensed to Kill?", think over it and understand it's big meaning.



See, so many people park this way. About the picture on the left, I'm sure you seen or heard about it before right? Just simply park like that. Even if there's a lot of parking spaces, don't do that la please. You think other's like it? And the picture on the right, tell me what's the difference la, it's just straight only, it's still not in the box. Don't blame others if they scratched your car kay, it's your fault since you love taking two parking lots. Get what I mean? Even if you see some of these doings when you are trying very hard to find a parking space, you will surely get mad or something right? Why do you think you will get summoned when the traffic police or whatever see's your car that way? Ofcourse it's because you're doing wrong la right? So please don't do such selfish things, parking in two lots where you only need one. Tell me lor, if you passed the driving test you think you won't know how to park nicely in your lot? Obey the rules, as it's also for safety.

Let's read the little story I created>

Kid: Wa! You see this big big car! So chun man! Like that also can park! O.O
Papa: Wa.. Who is this driver! Don't think you drive big car can so action park like that hor, block the whole road like that, your father's road is it?
Kid: (Silence...)
Mama: Next time when you grow up don't learn like that driver hor, block the whole road like that, other people see only will get angry.
Kid: O.o.. Ok..


Another story I created>

Parents were driving.... And a traffic light turned red but they still continue to go faster.
Kid: Wa!! Just now the other side the cars nearly bang us already you know!!
Papa Mama: We know how to drive one la.. No need so scared one.. Nearly bang only mar.. also never bang..
*Another traffic light came, and turned red again.
Kid: Mama and Papa I love you, but please stop at red if you love me too. T.T
Papa Mama: (Silence.. Were surprised)

See.. Even kids know the rules... Haiz~ to those who didn't stop at red. I'm sure a lot of people heard "stop at red" before many many times, but it just went in their right ear and flew out from their left ear. Think again, why do you hear it so many times again and again? Ofcourse there's a reason! What reason? Why do you think there's such thing as traffic lights? For fun? Green> go... Yellow> Prepare to stop for it's going to turn red... Red>STOP!!! So many people just continue going when it's red, you know how dangerous is it? You know how many accidents happened because they didn't stop at red?


Look... I don't know what happened la actually.. but its very obvious its an accident. Of course la.. Try thinking.. How did it happened? You want it to happen to you? No right.. then obey rules.. don't simply cut here cut there think very cool like that.. Speed here and there trying to be F1 racer or what.. "Licensed to Kill?"



Give Way. I know la.. when you cross road also of course have to wait till no car or whatever before crossing one right.. But let's say some people don't ar.. and you are driving la.. you don't so stupid go and drive faster or pretend you can't see la.. If you rushing also please la.. Life's more important ok.. Just imagine.. If you were the one crossing.. How will you feel if a car goes faster when the driver knows you are crossing? "Do to others what you want others to do to you."



No U-Turn. I know a lot of people did illegal turns... Wei.. people put a sign there got reason one you know.. It's dangerous la.. please... don't break any rules.. Those rules are made to obey.. For it's for our safety.. I know you all want short cut.. Who don't? Think la.. Short cut + accident better or No short cut + no accident better?




Seat belts must be worn ALL the time, not just long journey. I know to a lot of people this is like.. Lao ah ma words or something.. Think la... Why are there such thing as "seat belts"?


Seat belts... Why it matters? Many people died just because he/she didn't wear seat belts. Wearing a seat belt can reduce the risk of dying in a traffic crash by 45 percent in a car and by as much as 60 percent in a truck or whatever.. Well.. If parents don't wear their seat belts, 70% of the time, children won't wear them either.

Why wear a seat belt?

Look at the 3 pictures.. It also tells you why and where does it helps. Lets say the person in front did a sudden break or something. You can't really stop on time right? Especially on the highway.. People use to drive very fast there.. You know.. Yea.. Picture 1.. Picture 2... and picture 3.. I'm sure you don't want that to happen right? Please wear your seat belts no matter where, how long the journey is, how whatever it is. Just wear it. Also make sure to ask others to do so. I'm sure you don't want to see any of your loved ones in picture 1, 2, or even 3 right?


There are probably as many reasons as there are people driving around without seat belts. But here are a few of the most common, accompanied by an argument against such unsafe behavior:

"Ayo.. I'm just going a few blocks to the store only..."
- Most accidents happen within a few miles of home.

"I'm a safe driver lah... I won't have an accident one...."
- You may be a safe driver, but what about the guy who hits you?

"Aya... Seat belts uncomfortable lah..."
- How comfortable do you think a neck brace or an accident is?

"I don't want to get trapped in the car in case of an accident."
- You are much more likely to be hurt or killed in an accident because you go through the windshield or are thrown from the vehicle.
