Long fringes put lives at risk on the road

Eye-skimming celeb styles have always been trendsetters, from the Sadhna cut of the 60s to Kate Moss’ latest fringes, but a new study has now warned that women drivers having a hairstyle that can fall in their eyes were just a “hair’s breadth” from disaster, UNI reports from London.

In the poll of 1,000 women drivers, nearly half said they never tied their hair back before driving, but only a per cent admitted they had had an accident or a near-miss or made a sudden manoeuvre after their vision was impaired by their hair.

Singaporeans don’t speak to their neighbours

Up to 20 per cent of flat occupants in Singapore have never spoken to their neighbours staying only a few metres away from them, according to a poll by The Sunday Times. Fifty-three per cent would “do nothing” even if they believed something is amiss, such as not seeing their neighbours for a long period of time, NNN-Antara reports from Singapore.

The poll was triggered after the discovery of badly decomposed bodies of 82-year-old Wong Tong Seng and his daughter in their flat last week. Neighbours had not seen the family for seven weeks. Police were finally called because of the smell from the flat.
