I WAS driving home on August 18 at approximately 6.30pm along Tai Tam Road to Repulse Bay, when I was involved in a completely avoidable traffic accident.
It was brought about by the lack of responsibility of any Hong Kong authority to monitor roadworks and the associated warning signs.
Just prior to the small roundabout where the road split to Shek O and Tai Tam/Stanley there is a sharp blind bend.
Near the bus stop just before the roundabout was the sign ''STOP'' for roadworks and approximately 20 metres behind a sign ''Roadworks Ahead''.
I was driving slowly, fortunately, but on turning the corner the traffic was backed all the way.
Using maximum braking I just managed to stop.
I was thinking of getting out of my car whilst waiting for the signal to change as it was so dangerous, but it was too late as a motorcycle could not stop in time and in the ensuing collision, the cyclist and his passenger both flew over my car and landed on the roof. It was very frightening.
