13177 Hypersonic September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I fully agree about the accountability part. A cyclist crashed into my old car through no fault of mine - he was cycling against traffic into a blind corner very very quickly and couldn't stop in time even though I had. Cracked my CF bumper and landed on my windscreen, cracking it. Both had to be replaced (not easy for that car!). No way to claim from the cyclist except via Small Claims Tribunal. I was absolved of all liability by the TP who could only send a letter of warning to the cyclist. The only injuries that the cyclist sustained were some bruises and scratches. Currently still dont have any law protecting drivers and pedestrian, if they got knock down or injured by those reckless cyclist. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoonz 4th Gear September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Install camera on your bike. Sent footage of these careless ruthless driver to TP.

Silver_z 1st Gear September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I have seen stupid motorists who disregard cyclist. I have seen stupid cyclists who disregard their own lifes. The motorists will complain about the stupid cyclists. The cyclists will complain about the stupid motorists. All these complaints will never end, coz there is always stupid on either side of the equation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is a lot of bus drivers don't realise what happens after their bus passed. The only way to tell them is to COMPLAIN & COMPLAIN until it is heard. Otherwise, sent it to LTA lor.
