Banned from driving

Some people should be banned from driving. Permanently. Forever. Life Ban. Full Stop. No appeals.

I was chatting with AF, Kenny, Ernest and ZX yesterday night, when AF was telling us some stories about his riding (Bike) experiences, an near accident.

He had stopped behind a car, with a car behind him. When out of a sudden, the car in front of him engaged reverse gear and started to reverse into a parking lot, WITHOUT checking the rear mirror if there's any vehicles behind.

AF slanted to the side and "drop" his motorbike, while his pillon dismount and went to the car in front and slam on the door. But its too late. The bumper of the car did hit his bike's front tyre.

The driver, a lady demanded why AF had got up behind her when she's reversing. AF countered that he's already behind her before she engaged her reverse gear, and that's she have not switched on her hazard light. He's got an witness, the driver of the car behind him.

AF then wanted to do some checks on his bike. (lying on the ground), and he wanted that lady driver to pay for all those safety checks.

And the lady driver offered 50 bucks to AF, saying this. "i am giving you 50 bucks. I know you will not check your bike, you will spend the 50 bucks on something else."

That is the extreme. Can you imagine that?

==================================================

I was downstairs eariler in the day, walking towards my van, and i saw a driver attempting to park a car.

Another lady driver. She tried umpteen times to do a reverse parking, and in the end, she reversed too close to the right hand side of the kerb.

(I should have taken some photos during that time.)

As a result, her right front tyre hit the kerb. Normally, once your tyre hit the kerb, you stopped and adjust your vehicle, and attempt to do a parking again, right?

Not for that lady driver. She rammed her engine, and her tyre brushed against the kerb all the way till she brake and off the engine.

That's when i walked past her car, (at the front), took a look at that lady driver (an auntie) and shook my head, signing to myself, and making sure that she can see me shaking my head.

Those drivers should be banned for driving for life, before they caused fatal accidents...
