Watch out for Van 5047!!!

Today, as usual, I fetch Yuxin back from school and on the way back we met a terrible van driver. Every time before I cross the car park road, I always tell Yuxin to make sure there is no car then we cross. Today, as usual I was holding Yuxin's hand and cross the road. Suddenly, this van driver drove very very fast into the car park. We were only half way cross the road. My very first instinct is either to quickly carry Yuxin cross the road or I pull Yuxin quickly to cross the road. I decided on the 2nd option because the first one is too late to react.

Luckily we managed to cross the road safely without any harm. This horrible, terrible, bastard young man van driver (car plate no. 5047) drove so fast into the car park and worse still he didn't even bother to slow down when he saw a child crossing the road. We were so near the van when he drove passed us. Another mother who is Yuxin's classmate's mummy also witness this incident.

Hello! Young man, this is a car park not racing car circuit! And who you think you are, "the son of 'dou fu' shop owner", ah! Nowadays, young people drive without manner and consideration. This is not your grandfather's road! Pandon my 'bad' words but I am really really very very furious and angry. This man has put my precious daughter in risk and harm.

If I have super power and how I wish I have super power, I will DEFINITELY PUNISH that man badly WITHOUT ANY MERCY!!!

Few days ago, I also encounter a 'no manner' young man. Sigh... That day I went out with Yuxin and on the way to MRT, she saw her favourite - 'Child Ride' (those 20 or 50 cents car ride for kids). All out of a sudden, she let go of my hand and dashed out toward the 'car ride'. At that moment, there was a young couple wearing school uniforms walking towards us. Bang! Yuxin fell down! The young man knocked her down. It happened so fast that I was unable to catch hold of Yuxin and I don't blame the young man. What made me unhappy is that, Yuxin cried very loudly after falling down and the couple just walked away without showing any concern. Are they rude? Or am I too fussy? What had happened to our society? No more consideration, grace, thoughtful, kind, concern, polite, etc....

for van 5047 - I rem the whole car plate and report to police

for the couple - I would see if my kid was the one ran out and face a obstacle and fell bcos of my kid's own force or is it true tt the boy pushed my kid.

then i tell my kid this is what will happen if you run out without watching out for others

so wat will u do?

For the first question, to me is I am unable to do anything except to be more careful the next time. Regarding on reporting to police, I don't think it will work, base on my experiences.

For the couple, I did said is my fault and I didn't blame the couple. After Yuxin fell, I taught her not to dash out suddenly and must hold mummy's hand.
