Bad Driver!

One lovely evening, my sis and I took our mum to a concert along with sis-in-law, grandma and cousin....

As usual, the parking in Indoor Stadium is atrociously full, with the road works, national stadium under construction and the construction of a new train line in the same area, a few roads were closed/diverted.

Anyone with any slight imagination of the traffic condition will know that it'll be a game of patience to get OUT of the car park.

There was only ONE exit point for the whole entire car park just infront of the Indoor stadium for about 100+cars. And the road leads to another one lane traffic all the way to Nicoll Highway, imagine the nightmare.

I was fully mentally prepared that it'll take a while for us to get out of the car park...

However, there was this other driver who seems to think that by honking his horn persistently, the jam will magically dissolve.

He was super annoying!

His horn was loud and long, lasting almost half a min in his first attempt. I saw that there was NO WAY anyone could miraculously hasten the traffic, it was not due to incompetent driving nor navigating of the roads, there was simply 200 cars trying to get out of one tiny road.

I was furious that there would be someone who is so self-centred and impatient, ignoring the pain he caused to other's standing next to his vehicle.

Considering it was a concert for MOTHERS, you can imagine how many mothers will be there and the normal age for anyone to be a mother would be say 24yrs old? (very liberally speaking hee) and for their kids to grow up, earn enough money to pay for their mothers to attend the concert will take another 20yrs, so the MINIMUM age of mothers there would be 44yrs old!

Of course grandmas will be alot older....

Who can be so insensitive to spoil such a lovely evening with their sickening noise??

I went up next to his car to take a good look inside his car, perhaps he has an emergency??

NOPE, seated next to him in the passenger seat was his young son about 6yrs old with both his hands covering his ears. Behind was a woman with another younger kid both trying to shield their ear drums from the sound of the horn.

Imagine, his entire family was INSIDE the car and found the sound of his horn intolerable. What about the tonnes of pedestrians standing outside? Along the pavement, waiting for their loved ones to come and pick them up since most of them are old folks, who cannot walk 500m to reach the car after a 3hr concert...

I stared at the driver with all my might (it was quite dark lah, dunno if he'll see me if I just looked intently hee) and I put my index finger to my mouth to indicate shut up!

He certainly got my message and did not dare to sound his horn again. For a brief moment, he wanted to unwind his car window to pick a fight I think, the window came down like 1/3 and went back up again. Bet it was family pressure for him to just shut up!

He was pretty obedient along the jam (could be I secretly continued to stare at his vehicle, at one point I was walking alongside of it hee hee)

Well I had to take a picture to remember this bad driver. I was tempted to send his particulars to TP for bad driving ethics.



What do you think? Shall I do it?
