Time to open odds.

Bangala - 1:1.5

Cheena - 1:3

Boleh - 1:1

Although low probability, it may be still good to include 

angmoh -  1:??

Cam car driver didn't realise he contributed to accident

by driving so close to left side!

Technically driver not at fault because he is in his lane

but a skilled driver would have kept more to the right side.

Biker should have hit the cam car instead of innocent audi 

as audi driver better in middle of his lane.

Now poor audi got dents and scratches. 

 

This is the sound many people make when observing a misfortune from the sideline...

"....Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk....ooohhh.."

After all these accidents there is still no mandatory requirements like front camera/auto brake for heavy vehicles and also no riding across pedestrian crossings. Sometimes cyclists kill themselves by riding at high speed from pavement to the crossing expecting drivers to react. There is simply not enough time. 

The current traffic law . Esp those on cyclist make them take things for granted. Or even worst.

I say before many many many time. It's their life and limps vs the license of drivers. 

It's not about who have more rights.

Just change the law lah.

Any cyclists riding at any crossing and hit by car, driver is not responsible. 

I chop sign guarantee no cyclist with a brain will be knocked down.

No enforcement necessary. 

Good on paper and good on road.

Sat in a friends car today, met with a road hogger on right lane of BKE, oblivious to everything, travelling at 60+

We followed this car for a good 5km before having a chance to undertake this mofo, after we cut in front of him, he gave us the finger. We just thumbs up to him..😁

Just change the law. 

Any pedestrian jaywalking knocked down by car, driver is not responsible.

Driver also no need to stop.

This will reduce jaywalking. 

No enforcement necessary. 

Chop sign guarantee will work on paper and on the road.

Even though current law allows riding through crossing, cyclist/pedestrian is required to check traffic before crossing.

To make it worse, cyclist/pedestrian crossing zebra/controlled crossing has the same duty of care as Jaywalker.

A lot of ppl are not educated on the requirement.

It's kind of worrying that his 60+ can "overtake" lane 2 and 3 cars for 5km

It will require a mindset change for pedestrians and cyclists to take on the responsibility for their own safety. Away from the law always protecting them against motorists even though the pedestrian is in the wrong. First hand experience today at lunch where over a 45 minute period I saw bad behaviour by my fellow senior citizens. Let me detail.

1. An elderly man crossing the road on a red man at pedestrian crossing as a car was approaching. He was able bodied but insisted to cross against the advice of his two friends of similar age. The car tooted his horn and the elderly angrily waved at the driver;

2. Another elderly man slowly crossing without looking or care when the crossing the red man was already showing at the start. This was at a road leading to a bus interchange where buses were turning in;

3. Senior driver in BnB car sped up to cut into my lane with small gap in front of me when behind me was clear space with no cars;

4. Not at the road  but during lunch at a crowded small hawker centre patronised by nearby office workers. Seniors have finished their meal, but refuse to budge and continued to occupy seats and tables when the office crowd were looking for seats. The seniors just wanted to crowd gaze. 

Have we seniors become so entitled and selfish till the over-riding attitude is "it is my right", or "I can do what I like because I am old and have eaten salt". I certainly hope not otherwise we will see more cases of seniors getting into fights with each other or see seniors getting their remains scraped off the road.

Pay for funeral cheaper than pay for medical care for life!

Just make the law clear.

Jaywalker get knocked down motorist not responsible and no need to stop.

This will stop jaywalkers once and for all.

No need enforcement.

Good on paper and on the road.

Rules don't apply to me.

Drive wrong way and still give people the finger.

These people really got attitude problem. 

 

[Jamesc]

Cam car fault. Stop for what? 

Make Mr Finger reverse.

SG driver when need to brave no balls,

when wrong act gangster.

Please lah when need to be brave grow a pair,

when wrong apologise and back down.

 

[Jamesc]

SG driver die die must do the wrong thing.

Red light die die must go, green light wait and wait and wait.

Need to be brave act coward, when wrong act gangster.

When want to turn left die die must use right lane.

When turn right die die must use left lane.

When on go straight lane die die must turn.

Turning lane yes you are right die die must go straight.

Now they all know its wrong but they think

they are very smart going against the law.
