The shitty times wrote an article about how traffic offenses by heavy-vehicle drivers went up by 16% without giving the full picture.
What they have failed to mention is that the main cause of this traffic offenses is by those China drivers - and this is not even because of a lack of local drivers. My friend who works in the construction industry told me that these construction companies like to hire these cheap PRCs from the countryside since they get a salary of only about $1.2k and are willing to be put up in dorms unlike the local workers who get about $1.6 to 1.8k and can drive less as they are usually older.
I have personally witnessed some accidents and near misses which are caused by these PRCs, and this isn’t even reported in the Shitty times article. I wonder if it’s because of their master’s pro-foreign-trash policies? Last year, I witnessed the China driver of a commercial bus beat the red light alone AMK Ave 5 and smashed into the side of an SBS bus 103 which just took off from the green light, and claimed that it was the SBS bus driver’s fault. Thankfully there were witnesses.
Also, the area is where my girlfriend stays and I go there pretty often. There is a fair share of construction and I noticed that these PRCs like to drive and park their vehicles recklessly. If you look at the new flats at the cross-junction of Serangoon North and AMK Ave 5, then you will noticed a lot of heavy vehicles parked illegally along the private estate and I have several instances of china drivers anyhow swerving into the oncoming lane despite a private car having a right of way.
This is the real reason why traffic offenses by heavy vehicles are going up: the PAPaya government has been taking in low grade foreign trash and they don’t bother much about our safety. I ask my fellow Singapore-loving brothers and sisters who drive and have in-car cameras to save evidence and share them if they encounter such incidents.
