A gang of 11 cyclists chase down a car and challenges the driver to a fight for honking at them

A gang of 11 cyclists chase down a car and challenges the driver to a fight for honking at them

As of January 1st, all cyclists in Singapore have to maintain a maximum length of 5 bicycles per group on the roads. Failure to heed this new regulation will result in a whopping $150 fine for errant cyclists.

While most have kept to this new regulation, this group of cycling enthusiasts attempts to defy the rules by tackling the roads (and the drivers) late at night.

 

In the wee hours of 9th Jan, a driver was travelling near Keong Saik Road when he chanced upon the large group of cyclists.

After stopping to let them pass, he tagged behind the group as he needed to make another left turn.

As he drove, he realized that the cyclists were slowing down and stopping to decide what to have for supper in the middle of the road.

Wanting to make his left turn, the driver honked at the group, letting them know of his presence.

This upsets one of the cyclists, who turns his head and glares at the driver.

The cam car then makes its way to pick up a passenger in a nearby alleyway while being chased down by a group of upset cyclists.

As the driver was about to leave, he notices one of the cyclists approaching his vehicle from the right.

The angsty rider plops in front of the vehicle to block its way as his other friends arrive, shouting vulgarities and challenging the driver to a fight.

The cyclist in blue throws down his bike, angrily gesturing at the driver for honking earlier on.

He even smacks the car's bonnet a few times as he confronts the driver.

The video ends with a picture of a handprint on the window of the cam car.

Harassment in Singapore

According to the Protection from Harassment Act (POHA), any person who threatens, abuses or insults (whether by behaviour, words or other forms of communication) with the intention to cause and did cause another person alarm, harassment or distress, will be guilty of an offence.

Offenders will receive a fine of up to $5,000 and/or an imprisonment term of up to 6 months. For repeat offenders, the punishment will be doubled.

For causing someone to believe that unlawful violence will be used against him, offenders will face another charge and receive a fine of up to $5,000 and/or imprisonment terms of up to 12 months.

Lastly, unlawful stalking is also an offence under the POHA and it constitutes:

  • Following someone

  • Loitering in areas near someone’s home or business

  • Giving or leaving someone gifts despite being asked to stop doing so

  • Keeping someone under surveillance

  • Repeated circulation of revealing photographs of a classmate to other classmates

If convicted, offenders will receive a fine of up to $5,000 and/or an imprisonment term of up to 12 months.

I agree with this comment. While cyclists are more vulnerable on the roads, it does not mean that they get to do whatever they want on the road.

I think that would create more issues instead 😥

Is there such a thing as bicycle gangs?

Just 12th Jan early morning at 6am at Upper Thomson Road, already witness a group more than 10 cyclists riding. 

In the end, it is all down to individual attitude. These days it seems there are many people having "ego" issues and not reflecting if they are in the wrong. If wrong, just apologize and move on, why still challenge people who warn you, when you are putting your safety on the line?

Agreed! I think it's because they don't believe that they are in the wrong so they want to challenge others when it comes to it 😓

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Fascinated by honey

    If there's one natural food (aka can be eaten raw) that I absolutely love, it's honey. Yes, there are countless varieties from around the world, but for this story, we'll talk about the kind that comes straight out of a hive, complete with honeycomb. I'm not an expert on this topic, but every time I consume raw, unprocessed honey, it tastes a lot better compared to honey that comes in a jar. No squeeze-bottle honey for me, please. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but raw honey doesn't

    Sgcarmart Explores: Japan Edition (ft. the Nissan Ariya)!

    The approach of the year-end holidays often also means the annual pilgrimage Singaporeans take to Japan to soothe their souls after a long year will soon kick into high season. (Just open any of your social media applications - Instagram, Facebook or TikTok - and you'll see.) For the many amongst us who can spare neither the financial expense nor the time, however, there's no reason to fret. Allow the mind some space to wander, and one will find there are many places on our sunny island tha

    We happy few, we Band of Brothers

    It is safe to say that one way or another, the majority of Singaporean men have served their country. Be it sleeping in the jungles of Mandai, walking the beat on the streets of Clarke Quay on New Year’s Eve, or putting out fires (literally) clad in heavy protective gear, most local and naturalised male citizens have given up, as the song goes, “two years of our time”. But many have differing views of National Service. Some see it as a hindrance, a waste of time. Some see it as an opportuni
