RIP ah peh, live til 70, even older than SG and then kenna this kind of bobo driver.

Hopefully this lady is banned from driving forever and go to jail for a very long time.

But Singapore road laws are lenient, maybe 2k fine and 20 days probation.

I too am female but I slowly understand why got stereotypes on female drivers. Some girls really cannot drive and damn hazard. I saw 1 recently. Want to turn left yet took extreme right lane (1st lane) then want to turn left never signal, in front got traffic light but still green for car to go she suddenly stop, a car behind luckily reacted fasted honk and faster siam. Then I see inside 2 young girls trying to figure out or panicking and anyhow change lane and is not slowly smoothly change lane by lane. Jitao 1st cut to 4th like grandfather road. I see already smh. And some also stupid stop right in front of the traffic light where pedestrian walk. Can't they have better judgement and gague??? Really buay tahan. How these people even pass one????

From the video can tell she is undergoing multiple blond moments all at the same time.

Malaysia Drink Driving:

Penalties for drink driving offences​

Since the law was amended in 2020, the penalties for section 44 and 45 drink driving offences are stricter, as follows:

• Penalties for causing death—section 44(1): anyone who drives under the influence and causes the death of someone can be sentenced to between 10 and 15 years in prison, and fined anywhere from RM50,000 to RM100,000. They will also be banned from having a driver’s licence for at least 10 years.

Singapore is a blardy joke in terms of traffic laws. The only way this changes is if someone important gets into a serious car accident.

 

[Redberries]

COE not high enough....too much cars on road. Actually should reduce cars quota and increase bike quota right?

And obviously she is not paying attention to the traffic lights.

 

[elmohootbigbird]

i thought females usually more meticulous and have greater attention to detail

when not driving, yes.

 

[Money no have]

WTF??

uncle rip liao!!???

wa liew eh the driver is really CHAO *beepbeep*!!!!!

 

[PetDog]

 

[rizhal]

Must throw behind jail for many years. Very very dangerous driving.

 

[elmohootbigbird]

If a driver needs to use a lot of the conscious mind to drive, and i know there are people like that, they aren't good drivers. A good driver should know how to internalise to the extent that driving becomes instinctive. This way there is less mental overload. The body is also doing the driving and checking subconsciously.

this internalization is somewhat scary. i used to ride and there are days i would listen to music n ride. at the end of the commute, when i ask myself what happen and what did i see along the way. sometimes i barely recall anything.

 

[oasis79]

plain homocide right there...
knn, life taken just like that...

 

[Joseph12]

i tell u female driver when panic cannot differentiate between brake and accelerator.

U can see she on wipers instead of signal light.

I'll bet she was distracted and dunno how to brake

I saw that

In fact her lane was ONLY right turn. She can't even go straight
So why did she veer left on that lane?

If her intention was to go straight, probably will lead to cars on lane to her left to smash her behind

 

[Kunkka]

no wonder jitao arrest lol. if not 100% driver fault will just say driver assist in investigation

Like the Nex Subaru forester case
