Traffic dispute convinces many that cyclists are getting out of hand

Traffic dispute convinces many that cyclists are getting out of hand

Are cyclists getting out of hand these days? 

We'd say so as more and more videos of cyclists ignoring traffic rules and getting angry with other road users have been surfacing. It doesn't help as COVID has encouraged more people to workout, with cycling fast becoming one of the more popular choices/excuses to get out of the house.

According to SG Road Vigilante, this incident between 2 cyclists and the camera car happened on 30th August 2020 at 17:15 along east coast road. As the road is a single lane road, SGRV claims that the camera car wanted to overtake and horned at the cyclists that he/she is proceeding with an overtaking maneuver.

Unfortunately, the cyclist wasn't happy and started some 'ah-beng taunting' actions.

Do you think the cyclists in the videos are self-entitled? Or do you reckon the driver should have just queued up and drove slowly behind them? Let us know!

I think this cycling issue is just like the chewing gum issue. Without a ban, the issue won't be solved because we have too many black sheep, some Chao AM think they are the boss here. I believe if LKY was to be around, he will be firm on resolving such recurring nuisance.

Just like the PMD incident in which a pedestrian died before the ban was enforced, nothing will be done until perhaps one fine day, a lorry bull dozes its way through a convoy of cyclists cycling 2 to 3 rows abreast.

someone gotta  start a petition to get LTA to consider licensing these cyclists so that cyclists can be covered by insurance in times of an accident. Otherwise these cyclists will have no liability for the harm they bring about, no duty of care and treat the road like their 'ah gong'...  

I seriously reckoned it is about time that LTA starts to consider and make the road a safer place for all users...

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 5)

    There are plenty of strange sports in this world. People running from bulls. People running after cheese. Power Slap.  But of course few places do weird quite like Japan. Introducing to you: Bo-taoshi.  The name means 'topple the pole', and that's exactly the name of the game. Except of course its never quite so simple.  You want teams? Oh, you get teams. 150 players, split into 75 offensive and 75 defensive - one holding your pole up, the other attacking another team to topple th

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev

    Carpark Review: Downtown East

    It used to be most associated with Wild Wild Wet (or Escape Theme Park if you're of a certain vintage) but now is more typically visited by those looking to shop at the NTUC Fairprice of E!Hub or Don Don Donki. Downtown East spans a total of 147,000sqm and was officially opened on 5 November 2000 (according to Wikipedia). For those residing in the far east of Pasir Ris, this is likely to be their port of call for the grocery run (the other typical location being Loyang East). But just how g
