Chinese New Year market so cramped: Why are cars still driven in?

The Chinese New Year market in Chinatown is packed with shoppers, yet why are cars driven in to the already cramped roads, questions STOMPer Tony.

The STOMPer says:

"Why are cars still driven in to the roads of the already cramped CNY market?

"I'm sure the drivers know that the next 3 weeks, the roads will be filled with shoppers.

"They are troubling themselves as well as others.

"What happens if an accident occurs and they knock down a passer-by?

"Sad CNY to them and the victims right?"

tonyhsunpac: we all know this is a road. When an accident happens, the first question is whether the the driver kept look out. Then whether the pedestrian was jaywalking etc.

The Authorities could always close the road if they want to. Since it is not closed, vehicles are allowed on the road. Why blame the motorist who have the RIGHT to be there in the first place?

A very good example to show that peoples on wheels like to reach their door steps / take short cut...not even wanted to walk...
For this case, if the road is still open to traffic, vehicles have the right to enter. If accident happened, just claim and report as road accident. If road is closed, others will complain too...how to unload/load goods?

@ace5536 dun think they work cos they r driving in. In fact they can try another road. How much extra petrol can cause them since they so rich. Can save them time n trouble.

Some of them work there. They miss the time to drive off their car before the stalls set up. If they wait for the stores to close, they have to stay till quite late. That might the reason why you see car there
