Is it juz typical SINGAPOREAN DRIVERS or humans??!!

Sometimes.. its reali a pain in the neck... and my delicate left foot/sole..
Road accidents are alot more common when u r driving every single day. Be it Fatal, Serious, Major, Minor or merely a scratch or just a bump... Ever since I started driving a year ago, I had my own fair share of accidents. But luckily none caused a BIG HOLE in my pocket and no injury cases. =)
But my heart still goes to those who were much more unfortunate and had to leave behind their love ones and be brought away from this world. Every time, I saw a limp body on the road (of coz already covered with black plastic, otherwise i b having nightmares and phobia), I couldnt help feeling that life is so fragile and frail and accidents happen in split seconds!
I have friends of friends, ex-colleagues family members who were victims of these accidents.
It is happening around us (mayb every sec/min/hour?) and we might not reali feel for them bcoz they are not in a way or another related to us. But if we were to feel for everyone, i guessed we will not b able to get on with our life already lo. Always crying... feeling... for them (ppl we dun noe?)
Everyone always thought that their life will not be ended in such a tragic way. But life is unpredictable and full of uncertainties.. What we can do at the very least, is to provide a safer environment around us.
Each of us have a responsibility to make sure that we dun put others in danger bcoz of our negligence. ESPECIALLY FOR DRIVER AND OTHER ROAD USERS.
OK now to the main topic of the day... (after such a emotional start)
Its maddening!! I had two road jams in a day!! one in the afternoon [PIE towards Changi Airport - from Clementi all the way to Bukit Timah] and the other in the evening [CTE from AMK all the way to forget wer liao]!
The evening one I can understand coz there was an accident and its involved injury. BUT the afternoon one... can u imagine? It involves accident on the opposite side of the highway!
So wat caused the jam? KAYPOH onlookers!!! who just couldnt concentrate on their driving or were damn free and cruised on while looking on the remains of the crushed cars. What they did not know was that all the vehicles on the 4lanes (i supposed) behind them were creeping toward in speeds of less than 10-20km/h!
My poor left sole.. It was so so so so ..... suan (sore) after keeping stepping on the clutch for every inch forward, shifting between Gear 1 and 2!!!!
So is it juz humans who are curious of situation around them or TYPICAL SPOREANS?!
What's so nice to watch the damaged cars? Juz move on and drive with care otherwise they b the cause of ANOTHER stupid accident!
It was so damn frustrating to know that the CAUSE of the jam was that stupid! stupid! stupid!!! ahem.. action!!
To add to my poor soreful sole.... the 2nd jam in the evening started at the very entrance of the highway! damn it! Had bn wondering why i didnt persuaded my hubby to get juz a auto-transmission car..... too late for regrets now.. =(
