Sg2303 2nd Gear October 1, 2009 Share October 1, 2009 I see more and more motorcyclists riding with 1 hand only! The other hand is often placed on the laps or left dangling on the handle bar. On a few occasions, I even spotted motorcyclists (MY plates) riding with the other arm behind their backs! All these happened on small roads and expressways. Anyone else had similar sightings? I really wonder what they are trying to prove! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sg2303 2nd Gear October 1, 2009 Author Share October 1, 2009 This way of riding is very dangerous! They may not be able to react in time if there's any sudden change in traffic. And if suay suay they cannot react properly and anyhow siam in front of you. Then that's it: 1 x stupid dead rider and 1 x innocent living driver.

Melvinnn Neutral Newbie October 1, 2009 Share October 1, 2009 (edited) used to ride, also once the bike reach the top gear, crusing on expressway etc, i'll use 1 hand also, unless traffic is tight. due to the sports bike riding position, back easily pain. as long as see traffic around starts to get tense, then back to both hand riding.. but now never ride liao, so dun flame me lol Edited October 1, 2009 by Melvinnn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkingidiot 1st Gear October 1, 2009 Share October 1, 2009 from TP website: http://www.spf.gov.sg/stats/traf2008_concern.htm Motorcyclists & Pillion Riders Remain the Most Vulnerable Group of Road Users Making up 108 (or 48.6%) of the 222 fatalities in 2008, motorcyclists and their pillion riders remain the most vulnerable group of road users (Table 1 refers). Failing to have proper control, failing to keep a proper look out and following too close to the vehicle in front are the top three causes of motorcycle accidents.

Josho 1st Gear October 1, 2009 Share October 1, 2009 Knowing that is dangerous but then again, how? I'm a rider before. Unless one is performing something real stupid with one hand handling...
