A motorcyclist loses control and falls after running over unexpected debris along the PIE

Let's face it, besides cyclists, motorcyclists are the next 'most vulnerable' on our roads.

Unlike cars, motorcyclists deal with a higher amount of risks, such as the risk of losing balance and skidding. 

Watch this video to see how simple road debris could easily endanger a motorcyclist's life: 

What Happened?

It seems like any other day on the PIE - The traffic was moderate, roads were dry, and the weather was great, with ample visibility for motorists to have a clear sight ahead of them.

As the cam car travelled along lane 1, two motorcyclists passed him by lane-splitting between lanes 1 and 2. 

Here's where a keen observation is required:

After the first motorcyclist travelled quite a distance from the cam car, he was observed to have performed a subtle evasion manoeuvre to avoid a piece of debris in between lanes 1 and 2. 

The second motorcyclist passes the cam car just then, and he is not so fortunate as the motorcyclist before him. 

The Fall

As he could not spot the debris and react accordingly, he ran over it at high speed, which caused his motorcycle to jerk up mid-air. 

Upon landing on his front wheel, the motorcyclist lost control of his motorcycle, which caused him to swerve left and right before falling hard.

Due to the impact, the motorcyclist ended up rolling quite a distance while his motorcycle skidded for a good 100-150 metres. 

The Weird Part

Here's the part where I find it weirdly coincidental.

Towards the end of the video, two cars are observed to have stopped along the road shoulder in the vicinity of the road debris.

Here are two possible reasons as to why they were there:

1. The piece of debris was from either car. 

2. This is the more likely reason - Similar to the motorcyclist, both these cars were victims of the road debris and ran over it as well.

Well, that's going to be tough for LTA to enforce...

This Keyboard warrior deserves a good scolding.

The first biker was steady. He even gave signal and passed by the debris close by. Second biker on seeing the debris, he applied ebrake and then went over it that brought his bike out of control.

  • 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

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 6)

    Fireflies. Not a topic I think about often, if at all, but here we are.  On a recent podcast episode, I learnt that the light that fireflies emit is nearly 100% efficient. That's amazing (nature generally is). And it is precisely the study of fireflies (and their light) that has allowed the development of more efficient LED lights.  On a whim, I did a bit of extra Googling, and lo and behold, Japan pops up once more, with yet another culturally-unique eccentricity.  In Japan, ther

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 2

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity

    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
