Here’s an apt reminder to always look both ways before and while crossing the road, ’cause you never know when you’ll bump into reckless/half-blind/distracted drivers like this cabbie.

Last Thursday around 3pm, a Transcab was captured on dashcam racing past a red light along Havelock Road, right in front of the Ministry of Manpower. It’s unclear if the driver ever realized his/her folly, because the car didn’t seem to slow down at all.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, there were a couple of pedestrians crossing the road when the incident occurred, and the vehicle very narrowly missed colliding right through them.

Thankfully, no one was hurt by this careless act, but damn if the clip doesn’t serve as a serious reminder for us to be alert on the road, even when you have the right of way.
