Many times I have traveled in cars to see things I do wish the other party do put into consideration for those who drive and also for themselves. Below are some scenario I came across in which I find very dangerous especially on the roads.
- The Red Man is showing on the traffic lights and the bicyclist instead of stopping, try to beat the traffic by crossing the road. Poor drivers who are trying to make that turn sometimes don't see them coming. Whose fault? bicyclist or the Driver in the car?
- Again bicycles on the roads (have nothing against bicycles), you wish they would be more considerate towards drivers on the road and also to think of the danger they are putting themselves in. Please don't ride your bicycle side by side with your friends.
- I am not a professional driver myself but I do know that when you drive slow on the road, don't keep to the outer lanes. This will not only endanger your life but also the driver that over take you.
- Be a considerate driver ... please do signal in advance and I do mean in advance and not switch on the signal to switch lane and then start switch lane. The other driver might be speeding up and didn't see you coming and bump you out the road.
- Motorcyclist, please be careful on the road as to not to travel too slow especially on the expressway as you will get bump out of the road by big vehicles coming your way.
- Mothers out there, please do be careful with your child on the stroller and not put them in danger by placing them too near to the road especially it is a corner turn for drivers on the road when you are crossing the road at a traffic light. The driver may have pass his driving license and may not accurate make a turn and your kid in the stroller end up paying for it.
- While crossing the road, may your child be big enough or young, hold their hands while crossing the road and don't let go until you are safe on the other side. You never know some crazy drivers out there who may be drunk driving.
All these can help to avoid accidents and be sorry later. It can also help avoiding the 'what if I have done it differently' question. Please do ponder when you are in any one of the above mentioned situation. What you could have done differently to avoid accidents.
