In light of the Rochor Road crash that claimed three lives over the weekend, STOMPer Ban it suggests that high-powered sports cars be banned on packed Singapore roads. He also calls for stricter tests for foreigners to drive here.
Said the STOMPer:
"It is horrifying to see the screenshots of the tragic crash at Bugis.
"In the screenshots, the Ferrari driver beat the red light and rammed straight into the moving taxi at the junction.
"The impact was so strong, both cars ended up at the bus stop 30m down the road.
"It's time the relevant authorities review certain things.
"Firstly, as a small country, should we accommodate such high performance cars on our increasingly packed roads?
"There have been increased sightings of Ferraris or Lamborghinis along Orchard Road.
"Such high speed performance cars generate unnecessary loud engine noise and can endanger the lives of road users and pedestrians.
"Recently, I noticed a spike of fatal accidents involving foreign drivers.
"Relevant authorities should tighten requirements and put in stringent tests to assess the ability of these drivers to drive on our roads."

I think it's still the responsibility of individual drivers, and what drivers in Sg (regardless what nationality) are lack of patience, cos too many traffic lights and we came to have the mindset of "red light dun stop""green light must cheong"...no more courtesy rules cos time is precious :(
