Attention all cyclists! Vehicles with COE are not the only ones with road responsibility

Attention all cyclists! Vehicles with COE are not the only ones with road responsibility

A video was recorded of a cyclist recklessly endangering his own life by cutting across the lane without checking his blindspot. 

It resulted in him splitting lanes and almost colliding with the camcar behind him, endangering both his own life and risking damage to the vehicle. 

Watch the video for yourself below 

Clearly this cyclist is not ‘kiasi’, or as a translation for non-Singaporean folk, ‘afraid to die’.

Oftentimes, in videos like these, it serves well as a reminder that road safety is a shared responsibility and not solely on the shoulders of the vehicles.

Road safety should be treated as instinctive as well as a personal responsibility, and it is crucial that decisive steps are taken against reckless behaviour that might put either the individual or others at risk. 

Netizen Comments 

Netizens chime in on their opinions of the matter, some criticizing the cyclist while others defend him.

To those idiots who think that in the event your irresponsible cycling act causing an accident between any vehicle, the law will penalise the vehicle's owner so is ok the ride your way, your thinking is just wrong.

Why? Because your life and your safety are your own responsibility not others.

Most of them appeared at night to make a monkey of themselves.

Believe it or not they look like this to me.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Toyota Assure: Keeping you and your car in the best shape

    It's now easier than ever to keep an older Toyota in the best health with the new Toyota Assure programme! Toyota's vehicles are well known for their reliability.

Thankfully, all these are now taken care of thanks to the new Toyota Assure programme. Just what is Toyota Assure? Toyota Assure is warranty programme desig

    Disconnecting from Our Virtual Reality

    Recently, I had a scare at work. My laptop was suddenly unable to access the Internet despite working fine the entire day. A check with IT showed that the browser I was using, Arc, had somehow triggered the Falcon cybersecurity program, which promptly locked down my laptop despite the browser having worked fine for almost a year at that point. While I thankfully had cleared out my video backlog before it happened (most of them pending approval, a couple ready to publish), I was unable

    The best covers are the ones you don't expect

    I'm not a fan of Christmas.  Let's first set aside the unclear and potentially contentious origins of this particular 'holiday', and my general apathy towards religiosity. (Christians celebrate it as the day of Jesus' birth, though some evidence suggests his actual birth was in the spring. Some historians also note that the Christian traditions of Christmas can be traced back to Pagan roots and the Saturnalia festival, and the chosen 25 December date was an attempt by church leaders to appr
