Crazy and irresponsible Drivers should be put behind bars

In many a movie that I have seen, a man is most defensive when their loved ones are threatened.

I can relate to that...

Last week, Jed & I took a short walk to the nearby supermarket. Jed insisted on riding his bicycle. Time 6.30pm on the 18th March 2007.

Anyway, on our way back... juz before the cross junction was a zebra crossing. When we reached the zebra crossing, like what we were taught even in schools to check for on coming traffic.

What I saw was this car... about 20-30m away... most would have started walking / crossing the road thinking that this car driver would have seen the pedestrians on the curbs. But something tingled and in my experience in riding and driving told me that this......... XYZ.... was not about to stop.
So I tried to stop Jed from crossing as well...

Guess what... The driver of the car SDV 5102 looked @ me when he was approaching the junction and zoomed passed me inches away from me @ about 20-30km/h. If I had not stopped Jed @ his tracks, we / he could have been seriously injured.

A Car is no different from a weapon. And like all weapons, they are double edged swords.

IMHO, if found guilty, all reckless driving should be charged with Murder if death is occurred.

If a gun is placed on a person's head... He'll most prob be charged with Attempted Murder...
What is the difference when a car driver uses his car to "push" / drive really close to a biker... and sometimes juz for the fun of it?
Should that be considered attempted murder as well?
Is there a difference??

IMHO, no.

Sometime people as me why does biker react so.... aggressively when there they encounter a problem on the road.

I will tell them by asking them to pillion on my bike during peak hours from Jurong to Punggol.

It'll be self explanatory.

As for the car driver of SDV 5102, I hope you'll wake up before you kill someone.
