    Another Accident Involving Buses

    https://www.thestandard.com.hk/break...unnel-entrance

    Pretty sure the article should state the time as 12:57pm as it was definitely daylight. There is dash cam footage of the incident and it looks to me as though a mini bus brake checked the first coach, but thats just based on what you see after, its driving very slow with nothing in front of it.

    Truck driver is lucky to be alive.

    Seemingly caused by a taxi driver cutting up the minibus but you do have to ask yourself, they’re all going uphill! Multiple bad driving

    Wtf is with all these dash cam videos clearly showing the (taxi) drivers not stopping to offer assistance?! Isn't that like Rule 1 of driving?! And common decency.

    HK no 1 rule is to leg it if your car was not hit, why waste time n effort to help others that they dont know. typical selfish HK mentality. Even the cam video car of the KMB bus accident a few days ago, he legged it without stopping and just shouted to his group chat on probably whats app or some other messaging app that there was a big accident. thats it.

    I think you're talking about rule number 3.

    Rule number 1 is to hide a phone playing YouTube on your steering wheel and half pay attention to the road, especially if you're driving a passenger carrying vehicle.

    Rule number 2 is to never keep a safe braking distance lest someone slips in front of you.

    Jokes aside, this is a law in other countries, is it not in Hong Kong?

    Too slug to check properly but I don't think there's one in Sg too, just based on the frequency of occurrence.. Maybe a reminder in some traffic pamphlet..

    Are they still hunting the taxi driver.. doesn't it look like all of the mini-bus and coaches braked in time and only crashed into each other after that cuz of the truck driver :x
