Stop generalizing and condemning the whole community, just because of a few individual incidents.
Out of 10,I would say 2 or 3 are civilized and cultured.

I understand that during 60's China culture revolution, their traffic light was set as "Green" is Stop, "Red" is Go. May be the Ferrari PRC driver was confused. Perhaps, SG driving centers and drive instructors must enforce all new driver to fully understand that “Green” is Go, “Orange” slow down, “Red” must Stop and Zebra Crossing is not an animal.

Traffic accident are man-made. If everyone follow what they learn in driving school and obey the rules, no one get injure or die. All of you on the road, give way, be patient and be courteous. Learn to be a gracious road user and start saving lives.......
Don't miss these...
