S’porean Car Hits Motorcyclist & Drives Away, But Kind Uncle Behind Stops For Him

Singaporean Car Hits Motorcyclist & Drives Away, Kind Uncle Behind Him Helped

As the Chinese saying goes: The road is like a tiger’s mouth.

No matter how experienced we are with the roads, there’s always the risk of getting into accidents.

For one motorcyclist travelling along a busy road, he received a rude shock when a driver hit him from the side. He ended up toppling over on the road while the driver drove away.

Be responsible on the road

It is important to be responsible for our actions. Regardless of who is in the wrong, it isn’t right to leave someone injured on the road.

We hope that everyone will be more alert and careful when driving on the road to prevent such accidents from occurring in the future.
