Agree. We never know what the person behind the wheel is doing. As you said correctly, never assume they are alert and looking in front, at the rear and side mirrors continually....

In my yanger days when cars didn't have air con, we learned to use hand signals when we wanted to turn left, turn right. We actually stretched our arm out of the driver's window.

Nao all cars have air con but there are headlights for indicating turning left turning right. Most drivers just turn left or right without signalling.

Once somebody nearly hit me when he made a right turn without signalling. I smashed my right fist on his car bonnet and he wetted his seat. He drove away. If he dared to come out from the car, he would be delivered to the emergency department in another vehicle that went ee orr ee orr. 

It was very easy for me to concentrate all my qi on that fist. Just imagine that that cheebie face voted for Pritam Singh would do lorh.... 

Did u tell the druver you're not zgr? And dun pray pray?

Daytime le..
Black easier to see, full contrast 🤭

Not easy to drive that big bus and hv to take care of so many passengers onboard, and jaywalkers on the road.

Can be more considerate and treasure yr own life or not?

the bus driver must be a foreigner since it is not mentioned that it is a singaporean driver

That worker is partly to be blamed. That driver cud hv seen a clear road when out of sudden, worker put that cone signboard. He cud hv already sustained internal injuries, which wil only surfaced a few days later.

Maybe he was standing in a dangerous position lah!  He should be standing within the cones lah!

All of a sudden 
Not out of sudden 

The bus driver was to blame, but the worker was also unwise to put a cone on the road and then turn his head away from traffic. It's like when we cross the road, we cannot assume cars will stop at a zebra crossing (some drivers really don't).
