I like this new regulation

After the shock I had on saturday, I really welcome this move by the Road Transport Department. It will only implement from this October but I wish it can be earlier. I hope motorists here can cherish their precious lives. There are simply too many fatalities and there's a rogue culture among many drivers here that it is cowardly to give way to others.

In this new curriculum, learner drivers must show they have acquired defensive driving skills before they can qualify for a driving licence. Defensive driving would also include educating motorists to make way for pedestrians.

I fully welcome this move and even suggest the department to send drivers with poor records for 're-certification'.
