it seem to be a daily affair that rider died on the road recently (bike vs truck), one case on BKE the day before, and heard from radio there was one along AYE this morning, hope the rider is ok.

had a fair share of irritating bikers

 

Recently had a brush with a bloody scrambler rider. was on a one narrow lane road. Scrambler cheong on my right, to overtake me. the space between my car and his bike was only in 2-3 inches.

 

I blasted my hella horns

 

For me, i don't mind him overtaking, but there's hardly any space in that lane for him to squeeze. If i wan to make him fall, its too ez. i just have to tilt abit to the right, and he will flying like a superman to other side of opposite traffic and probably get smashed by some tipper trucks (we were next to some construction sites). Really KNN rider.

 

Worse thing, after he overtake me, he cheong the right turning at the traffic light junction. And this was the peak rush hour................

Be it motorcyclists or cars, we should all practice defensive riding/driving and be extra careful when near a larger vehicle (tipper truck, cement mixer, lorry etc.)
