Netizen Laura called for the LTA to prohibit young drivers from taking vocational licence as she claimed they are reckless and may cause accidents on the road. "1 life lost is 1 too many, if they drive a car can cause 1 casualty, then how about driving a bus, that will be 40 casualties at least!" What do you think?

Our reader is asking for a blanket ban on buses and trucks on expressways as he thinks they are "dangerous, slow and obstructive". He thinks there is no need for so many buses during peak hours as our MRT is already so efficient. What do you think?

Our reader alerted us to an accident along Braddell flyover towards Tampines involving a Comfort Delgro taxi and a Nissan cabstar lorry. The lorry was reportedly trying to change lanes but did not see the approaching taxi. The collision had such a big impact the lorry actually flipped. Hope it wasn't too serious! #GetWellSoon

Our reader needs help locating an unreasonable driver who attacked her father, a full time Grab driver, with an air freshener after claiming that he had blocked his path. The poor old man needed to be sent to the hospital because of his injuries while the assailant did not appear remorseful. How can liddat?

Facebook user Marvyn Wan is looking for eye witnesses to his mother's fatal accident which happened at the junction of Hougang Ave 4 and 8 on 22 May 2017.

Upon reading yesterday's article about someone requesting a ban on heavy vehicles using the expressway I have a disappointing comment to make. In Singapore, heavy vehicles are being discriminated by cars on the roads, often when we see cars not giving way to these heavy vehicles or in fact each other on the roads when others signal their intention.

I am a manager and I am very very irritated with these young Singaporean workers and interns. Now it's raining heavily and everyone start to tell me they are late!

A cyclist fractured his collarbone after his bicycle ran into a metal rod lying along the West Coast Highway. He was part of a cycling group that was going at around 40km/h when he hit the debris, causing his wheels to lock before he was sent flipping and crashing with bone injuries. He could get up and walk but had to undergo surgery. His $10,000 bicycle was totally destroyed just because of one metal bar, which may have been left behind by one of the heavy vehicles that frequent the highway. Risky siol. If you want to cycle then you better be careful.

Our reader informed us about an accident at Yishun Avenue 8 yesterday evening. He was driving along the area when he saw a lorry flipped on its side. He said the lorry driver looked like he wanted to turn into a filter lane when he lost control, hit a lamp post and caused the vehicle to flip. Be alert on the roads but be more alert in Yishun!

Soo...about to step into National Gallery when I saw this duck behaving oddly. Turns out she was separated from her ducklings 5 hours before, and came back for them. This is part of their trek back to the river. A couple of Gallery staff and I followed them part way, stopping traffic in front of Old Parliament House.
