Tragedy accident happened at Sheung Shui this morning. A mini bus crashed into a truck. Three was killed, including Mini bus driver, fourteen people was injured. Mini bus driver was suspected fell asleep when driving car. In the same time, truck driver was also arrested as he was suspected overloading the truck. He was bail out for $5000 today.
The danger of speeding mini bus is well alerted in this incident. Police Force has launched a undercover operation immediately - install more "camera" and "black-box". I do not against this would be help but I would say this is not enough. This is no help on stopping other district crazy mini bus driver. I hope lawmaker in LegCo propose to increase the punishment on speeding. In general speaking, speeding penalty is range from $600 to $1000 (serious speed or crazy driving would put in jail for three years and penalty $125,000), compare to rubbish throwing is fixed penalty $1500. The highest penalty of speeding. The speeding penalty seem not high enough to stop speeding.
I do understand that speeding would be a "Selling Point" to attract passenger. However life is more important than time saving. Therefore bus would be a better choice if you want a safer ride.
