A speeding black Mercedes almost knocked me and two other pedestrians down on Aug 24 as we were using the pedestrian crossing at Changkat Primary School in Simei Street 3.

The light was in our favour and other vehicles had stopped. However, the Mercedes in question did not even slow down. I put up my hand and the other pedestrians shouted, but the driver did not take any notice.

I urge the authorities to consider installing red-light cameras at such pedestrian crossings before any fatal accident happens.
