Need rear collision avoidance too i.e. some way to repel a car behind you that could not stop in time. Prevent you from getting rear ended

That one must go back to basics. Install a spear pointing backwards...hahaha.

Thats simply passing the buck to the vehicle that doesnt have a system like that.....be it a bike or any other vehicle. Best system is still to keep a safe distance and anticipate the changing circumstances 3-4 vehicles in front. If cant see due to front car having a big butt, its better to change lane.......

If miss the exit just take the next one lah.

 

This is not USA where the next exit is 20 miles away.

 

This is Singapore the next exit is 2 minutes away.

 

The guy that cut the chevrons is a fool king idiot.

 

Hurt and potentially kill people to save 2 minutes?

 

Learn to think lah bloodie moron.

 

:D

I'm amazed that you guys are bashing the guy for checking to see if his car has been hit. Nothing wrong with doing that. When you drive in Singapore, it is every man for himself. If you don't check to see if there is damage, what if some funny insurance claim comes in a month later? In Singapore where cars cost an arm and a leg, it's normal for people to check on their own car first. If you were placed in a similar situation, you would do the same. The main cause of the accident is the White Audi. The blame should be put on the driver of the audi. I thought people here would be more sensible compared to the keyboard warriors on those Facebook Shaming pages.

nothing wrong with checking the damage on car, i would have check on the well being of the rider first.

 

but thats just me.

I don’t think they even know there’s an accident between the Audi and motorcycle.

 

They heard the crash, front nothing so obviously they will check the back.

 

The cam driver had to point out to them.

As said by Hamburger, nothing wrong with checking own car. I think what left a bad taste for many is that the BMW couple appeared to be concerned over what might be minor damage to their rear bumper at worst, when the rider suffered much worse mere metres away. 

 

From the video alone I can only conclude one of two things:

 

1) BMW couple have zero situational awareness - 2 persons in the car and neither of them noticed the accident that unfolded right next to them.

 

2) BMW couple are heartless - not even a glance towards the fallen rider but both go check on their car

That's easy for you to say now. 

 

For someone who is purportedly very situationally aware, you did not even notice or entertain the possibility that the couple had missed the entire bike accident until several here mentioned it based on the same video that all of us watched.

 

Sometimes, it is good to give others the benefit of doubt.  We are on the roads everyday.  It could be us in the next viral video.

yup, too easy for me to say anything i want.

 

To each his own, i have learnt that any damage to my car is of least importance to me as compared to well being of others. Or maybe i drive a lor pok car and thats why i care less.

Lane keeping assist as well as collision avoidance system helps greatly in this instance. Just that a behavior modification will be required for those tailgaters.

No safety features can better than our own focus and concentration on the road.

 

Give you ton of safety features also redundant if one cant focus when behind wheel.

 

My cents.

Autonomous Level 2 does react faster and intervene quicker than the usual attentive drive.

 

I suppose you referring to Level 1. Then yes, have like just information that you may miss or ignore it like the usual beep of the reverse sensor.

Those bashing are probably :

- students who hasn't obtained driving licern, or

- doesn't own a car

 

its ok.  lets move on Teo Chxx Buy say one.

No need flying car lah.

 

To avoid an accident just need a brain.

 

A lot of people drive leaving their brains at home.

 

:D
