Accident Rates Increased In Singapore

Read an article in today's Sunday Times...Mentioned something about road accident rates are higher nowadays...From what i see...the few reasons are quite simple...

Adding Of ERP Gantry Points...
ERP operating hours are usually peak hours...traffic condition is heavy...naturally will follow close to each others' car...One cockanathan driver might forget to slot in his/her cashcard before he/she passes through the gantry, suddenly jams his/her brake as if he/she can stop in time to put in his/her cashcard...and the car following behind happens to belong to the group mentioned below...(See Below)...*Whaam*

The next reason that causes accidents?? Its the famous Singapore Culture; "Kiasu-ism"
Die die dont want to lose...You want to cut into my lane...I will tailgate the one in front of me...suay suay...the one in front of me is a cockanathan driver that forgot to slot in cashcard...(See Above)...me not in time to jam my brakes...*Whaam!!* Step out of car...take photo here take photo there...get contacts...then drive off again...If people were to be more aware of their surroundings and not be so "Kiasu"...accident rate wouldnt be so high...
