TS karcheng spotted!

[Civic6228]

it was juz few cars length from me. i saw the TP coming fast and furious from behind, speeding down in between lane with the siren on, i saw a car in front switching lane from 1 to 2 in split seconds, i know at that time, BIG STICK liao. zhu zhu, the TP biker cannot react at that split moment, in that half second, my heart was pounding and i saw the TP biker forcefully biang onto the back of the lane switching car until he flew. wa lao a, that car driver jia lat liao, he had just made a king of the road kissed his butt. that moment was really terrible. all the cars around halted for awhile and dont know what to do. i quickly stopped my car and went straight to the TP. "ah bang ah bang, relax, come come i put you to lay down on your back". he was crunching with his 2 elbows and 2 kneels on the ground with mourning pain. wah, can really feel his pain man. i think his left hand is badly hurt. i took out my mobile phone and start calling the 999. "wei police, there is a serious accident now on PIE towards the tuas before exit 12, a TP biker is involved and he is seriously injured. please send an ambulance here immediately"!!!

 

i went back to attend to the victim after i hang up the call. i tried to comfort him. i saw blood on his face, i worry that his head maybe be bleeding inside the helmet. so i offered to remove his helmet so i could check for wound and stop the bleed in case is bleeding.

 

i think my in-car video could have captured it. can check video only tonight.

 

drive safe guys.

Please lah, decide what language you wat to use leh. Mix mix like dat..buay beng leh.

I was otw to work today at 8.50am and PIE was jammed packed. So this is the reason why...

 

Lanesplitting can be done safely without a doubt, but like you said.. The TP was going fast and furious... If he wasn't he would probably have enough time to brake. It's all about riding defensively.

 

I've seen four tp bikes lanesplit in a single row before and nth happens.

 

So lane splitting is safe.

 

Come on get real.

Not pointing finger at TS but as more of a general advice as some of the other bros here have said, it's best not to remove the helmet for motorcycle accident victims.

 

It takes two people who know what they're doing to remove a helmet and in some places the practice is to leave the helmet on until the victim(s) is in the trauma centre. Not quite sure what our SCDF chaps practice but still, best to leave it to them. You'll also need to consider the helmet type (open vs full face vs flip up) even if you're a trained first responder. I know the technique but even then would probably not consider helmet removal unless there is a critical need and if it's an open-face/flip-up there's no need to remove at all.

 

note taken.

 

i asked the victim only, eventually, i didn't remove.

 

maybe you could share some of the general points to note and technique with members here in case anyone needs to render assistance to someone someday.

Is the charbo in pink the Jazz driver ? Or am I exhibiting gender discrimination ?

[Ronn]

Kudos to TS for stopping and help!

In an event of motorcar or motorcycle accident, try not to move the casualty as we do not know whether he/she has spinal injuries, moving them will aggravate their conditions. Let the paramedics move them because they'll assess whether he/she has any spinal injuries and they have their C Collars standing by so just comfort the casualty and don't move them!

 

Edit: And try to ask the casualty themselves not to move around too!

Yep - exactly right.

 

Only move someone / remove clothing / helmet or whatever else if it is critical for their survival.

Come on get real.

 

As long as everyone uses their signals and is communicating their intentions with each other, there really shouldn't be a problem.

 

It's moving more vehicles through congested traffic in lesser time. It's making the line less long for other people. There's nothing wrong with it, as long as both drivers and riders go about driving defensively.

Lane-splitting is for stopped traffic (or near-stopped), especially in a congestion. At high speeds it's not called lane-splitting, it's called suicide. Yes, there are some apparently suicidal bikers out there, but they're a tiny minority and not relevant to this discussion.

This debate has been ongoing forever and forever and I shall rest my case.

I drive and ride.

 

My opinion is that those who ride only, has no advantage as they may not know about blind spots and not to ride in certain ways.

 

As a driver, you can't change motorbikes bad riding habit. You can go so much to avoid them, but when certain circumstances are unavoidable, the motorbiker pay with his body.

I hope the mata man is not internally injured.

Broken bones can poke blood vessels in the thorax (chest) or abdomen (stomach). If mesenteric artery is blown due to impact injury, hell for surgeons to fix.

 

That's it, I am heading to blood bank for them to suck my blood. Thinking of CPF while praying for this poor working man.

 

I am really going, hope you folks can help too.

 

The amount of platelets needed might be a lot.

 

In the event of RTA, please

 

1. Ensure your safety.

2. Remove danger or remove you and injured from Danger.

3. Call for Turboflat4 or Astrid or RadX or even me in a pinch, you never know which medical people are around. just holler.

4. Calm the injured, no touch injured for your safety and theirs.

5. Call for Ambulance and TP.

6. Speak clearly,

I. Situation

II. Location

Iii time of injury

Iv describe injured condition, groaning in pale, writhing.

V wait for instructions.

7. Do the above coherently and within 2 minutes.

 

TS glad you helped, think your beedeo long long time cannot see Liao. You good guy la.

 

Blood donation by MCF. Or not?

 

See you at HPB.

There's always the inherit risk of riding in between lanes while traffic is crawling. At any one time, there might be a car executing a sudden move to switch to a faster lane without signalling.

 

As a rider would have learn in local riding school, riding in-between lane is not allowed and if you do, it's a immediate failure. BUT in reality, the instructors also said once you pass, it's up to you already.

 

Personally, I find riders riding in-between lane is fine as long as it's done in a safe manner. Just be predictable.

 

I dunno why such discussions always pops up. I'ts pretty common sense for bikes to ride in-between lanes and I expect that, nothing wrong. In other countries like Taiwan, Malaysia or Vietnam, everyone is a rider and driver. Only in Singapore most drivers don't have a riders license. And with COE at a super-sky high, all the more the attitude of drivers also high up there.

 

PS. I drive my car everyday and owns a class 2A license.

This is so right oh dear whenever there is RTA those people call our Ops Centre too kan chiong cannot speak properly, some just keep saying I see blood I see blood then the generated call sheet will be "I see blood, I see blood".

 

Please keep calm in an event of RTA and describe clearly to 995.

According to your friend, seems like majority of road users are jerks lei.

Everyone is jerking while driving/riding yar.

Maybe our MIB should equipped their enforcement officers with those inflatable air vests.
