[GVGT] Camcar video of Katong incident

[Laneige]

whether it is the cyclist mistake or not, is taking someone's life because laziness to maintain 1.5m acceptable?

This one aside but those at 60kmh but cyclists cannot keep up so bus must stay 1.5m away or still must filter out during peak hrs to go back in again

why is LTA (U) giving this issues to bus drivers
Why must other drivers face this shi t
Not liked u make big roads
Roads already small n still want to squeeze in cyclists
Drivers need to filter out to between the lane of vehicles
Not just one vehicle but the entire lane will have to do this overtaking

Also not making sense where u want bus lanes for bus but u allow cyclist to be on the lane
Then this cyclist now is a motorist or a what status
Why bikes cannot be allowed and yet a slow moving cyclists r allowed on bus lanes … esp peak hrs

so if it’s not motorist the code of conduct is apply to who?

Anyway not saying don’t keep close distance to them but cyclists seem to have the best of everything

including standing in front of vehicles acting liked a bully n holding up the entire traffic

The cyclist insisted she entered the left turning lane FIRST. And it is a single lane. So she thinks that the car should not "cut" her in the left turning lane. Leave enough room is not enough, some car can be even bigger size.

I think most drivers will make the same "mistake". So drivers must be very carefully when turning, keep a look out for these cyclists.

It is the drivers who paid road tax, these cyclists really think they own the roads.

So your argument is that because they don't pay road tax that cyclist have no right to safety on the road?

 

[Laneige]

Follow behind is the right thing. Especially those driver with mega size cars. Bicycle and car squeezed into 1 single lane, both never want to give way, accident sure happen. In the end both parties suffer.

I guess the cyclist selected her prey one. If the driver was AMDK, driving Ferrari, such incident won't happened.

If big tall lorry or heavy truck u see she dares to stand in front or not

 

[KnyghtRyder]

what does the rule actually suggest road users do in such cases? curious what's the textbook reply

Textbook says is you treat the turning bicycle like any other vehicle and allow them to make their turn unimpeded.

maybe this should also apply to cyclists on footpaths when they encounter pedestrians ?

no ringing of bell and making pedestrians move onto the grass so that they can pass. just follow behind...

They should. By right, cyclists supposed to give way to pedestrians. Ringing of bell is encouraged, as it is a safety measure to alert everyone of the close proximity of each other. Of course, incessant ringing is uncalled for. Expecting pedestrians to give way to cyclist is also selfish-entitlement; but if pedestrians are gracious enough to give way, all's good.

Actually the code of conduct is that bicycles OUGHT to give way to pedestrians on the footpath.

I don't know where they learned that ringing bell means people have to siam them,

 

[Nevereatrice]

Seriously what did that moron bit*h expect to follow when she decided to block the car ?

People already talked nicely and apologized.

She expect the cops to do what ??? I can't believe a person with this pea brain can become a lawyer.

Bec they are a bunch of self entitled idiots

 

[R6exR6]

well said. i really cannot understand most cyclists when on the road, expect motorists to keep their distance and look out for their safety. but when they are on pathment or PCN, they expect pedestrian to give way to them by ringing their bell excessively. strange.

Power corrupts. Speed of the car makes drivers wanna get slow cyclist out of the way. Speed of the bicycle makes riders wanna get slow pedestrians out of the way. Able and fast-walking pedestrians wanna get slow seniors out of the way.

It is what it is ...
Thus, law & enforcement plus educated & gracious people will be much appreciated.

they are filtering into a turn
wat impede?
cyclist kept left.... good job
car overtook and filtered... cleanly.

Coz they are uneducated, untested and unlicensed ... as well as ungracious.

did the driver release the footage herself?
hmm

 

[Laofuzi67]

Cyclist is the scum and instigator
Camcar too nice should just run over her like cockroach

 

[mickey88]

Probably a lot of cyclist r self entitlement and tink a lot of car dun dare to bang them while on the road

 

[iosnewbie]

Or do like what we did in the old days - put mirrors on our handle bars so that we can see traffic behind us

Elitist cyclists will hiam those old style side mirrors as ah pek and spoil their aero dynamics. Must wait for Apple to develop next next gen Vision Pro that is as as sleek as those cyclists sunglasses so that rear traffic data can be projected real time for them.

So your argument is that because they don't pay road tax that cyclist have no right to safety on the road?

If the cyclist value safety. She should not have expose herself to danger by standing in the middle of the road. The jam she created will also endanger other users.

We have too many cases of cyclist not giving due consideration of safety for ALL USERS.

To be entitled to safety on roads, one must first embody it through practice

If cyclist wants to preach the 1.5m rule. The same rule also say to keep left and not hold up vehicle behind. Aka dismount or move aside for vehicle. Dun see them doing it.

What’s the background of Nicolette Tan Shi-en? How come she can be so outrageous?

hmm

I guess she has to, if not everyone won’t know how self entitled is Nicolette Tan Shi-en. Nicolette Tan Shi-en doesn’t even sound like a local.

In this case, can I suggest they stick to spinning classes until such a sleek device is invented?

Argument is that the car overtakes the cyclist in the next lane, not even close to the cyclist. Why is the cyclist making a big fuss out of nothing?

Hmm, seems like she might be a lawyer with Gabriel Law Corporation or maybe Tan Peng Chin LLC. Which could explain why she’s so arrogant. Since it might not cost her much to go to court.
