Then something caught Mr Steven Tan's attention as he was riding his motorcycle to her workplace. There had been a fatal accident on the PIE. Mr Tan, 26, told The New Paper: "I saw my girlfriend's motorbike with all its Hello Kitty decals on the extreme right lane at the opposite side, and I knew it was her. "When I saw that, I stopped my motorcycle, broke down and cried." Mr Tan said a lorry was also in the lane, and a motorcycle helmet belonging to his girlfriend, Miss Candy Kwek, 21, was lying on the road. The accident happened around 10.20am on Monday. Police said the accident involved a lorry and a motorcycle. The Electric New Paper, Singapore - The Electric New Paper News I always notice that many female bikers are not riding with proper footwears. They are always seen with sandals or slippers when they are biking. Dun they realised that it is very dangerous cos when they skid, they will suffer serious injuries on their foot. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity this young gal. I am just puzzled that when these bikers go for the Class 2 training, din the lessons covers the safety aspects on biking? i think next time must implement class 2+3 learning. Everyone has to take both classes simultaneously even though they only want a bike or driver's license. Like that both parties will understand the other's vantage point on the roads and perhaps there will be reduced road accidents involving 4 wheeler and 2 wheelers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearoil 1st Gear July 1, 2010 Share July 1, 2010 heng tai, how come u got 2 yellow card? I tell these buggers off..by saying things as it is..they don't like so they zapped me loh! Just like in real life, these ppl who want to carry on working in a shxt job, just pretend and play along with the work wayang and carry balls, so as to survive. The ppl they don't like, they back stab loh! But over here, where got anything 'real' for them to stab? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyrofillica 1st Gear July 1, 2010 Share July 1, 2010 haha. good idea but not practical. who wanna pay for both lessons?! who got time to spend on both lessons? Unless make it like part of NS training or as a mandatory course to be included in all polytechnics and JCs and other tertiary institutions. anyway fat hope. Drivers just be more courteous to riders even though they are asking for death..... riders ride carefully and avoid confrontations even though drivers are blind and bochup your life.
