Noticeably, the traffic lights aren't working. A closer look shows the taxis reaching the intersection at the same time. However, instead of applying the yield rule — where the vehicle reaching the intersection and stopping first has the right-of-way — both ignore slowing to a stop to ensure it is safe to drive before proceeding.
Contrary to the Quantum, the shuttle drives slowly along President Street while the Quantum careens down Nugget Street. At the moment of the collision, the latter vehicle attempts to swerve. However, with the slightest contact, it topples and lands on its left side.The clip garnered over 24,000 views and sparked colourful reactions from vocal online users. Most were critical of the reckless driving displayed." problem here is that these taxis are full of people working for the families or kids just trying to get a better start by going to school.
