Local actor Chen Hanwei allegedly knocks down cyclist after failing to use turn signal​

A man has accused local actor Chen Hanwei of knocking him off his bicycle after failing to signal before making a turn.

The man, a 33-year-old teacher identified as Mr Zhuo, sustained abrasions to his arms and legs as a result of the incident.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the accident occurred last Thursday (8 Aug) on Irrawaddy Road near Balestier.

Mr Zhuo reported that he was cycling on the leftmost lane when a white Mercedes in front of him suddenly slowed down and turned left into an apartment complex without signalling or giving way.

Unable to stop in time, Mr Zhuo collided with the left side of the car, lost his balance, and fell off his bicycle.

“I suspect the driver didn’t notice me cycling behind,” he said.

Claims driver refused to take responsibility for accident​

The driver of the Mercedes then exited the vehicle, and Mr Zhuo immediately recognised him as Chen.

“He didn’t apologise at the time and just kept asking if I was okay,” Mr Zhuo alleged.

“It felt like he wasn’t genuinely concerned about me and was more focused on making sure I was fine to avoid taking any responsibility.”

Mr Zhuo added that he initially hoped to resolve the matter privately, but Chen was purportedly unwilling to exchange contact information.

“He even mentioned that there was no pedestrian crossing, so he didn’t need to give way to me,” he continued.

“I believe he should take responsibility for the incident, and I hope this serves as a reminder for other cyclists to stay vigilant on the road.”

Fortunately, Mr Zhuo did not sustain any serious injuries and his bicycle was not significantly damaged.

Confirming the incident to Shin Min Daily News, Chen stated that he was on his way home when a bicycle suddenly rammed into the left side of his car.

The 54-year-old actor immediately exited the vehicle to check on the cyclist and offer assistance.

Noting that the cyclist was not wearing a helmet, Chen asked if he was okay and if he was injured.

However, Mr Zhuo continued recording the incident, prompting Chen to suggest calling the police.

While contacting the police, Mr Zhuo reportedly left the scene, leaving his bicycle behind.

Mr Zhuo later explained to Shin Min Daily News that he had to leave urgently due to an urgent matter but subsequently filed a police report.

Chen admitted that he did not signal before making the turn, though he had slowed down.

Contrary to Mr Zhuo’s claims, Chen also expressed his willingness to take responsibility for the incident.

“If it’s my fault, I will handle it; if it’s the other party’s fault, I said there is no need to fine him or make him pay for my car repairs. It’s a minor issue,” he said.

Police confirmed receiving a report at 4.20pm on 8 Aug regarding the collision between a car and a bicycle.

The cyclist sustained minor injuries but did not seek medical attention. Investigations are ongoing.

I saw a building behind him. And he was driving towards another building. Should have surveillance cameras around.

Issue is also that these rental bicycles are not allowed on the roads, if the riders do not have helmets, in which the vast majority of such users are.

In this case, i do not see a helmet.

cyclist are like pedestrians. car turn into small road need to watchout for pedestrians.

I dun know leh.. last time adults always tell us children (let includes cyclists) must stop and look left, right and left again and then cross the roads only when safe to do so, be it big or small roads.. unless pedestrian crossings then is the car having to stop

So now change liao is it? We human/cyclist can just cross any road, be it big or small road without checking and is the car aka drivers having to look left and right and stop even on normal roads without pedestrian crossings??

Rule change liao is it?

Did the cyclist got hit on the pedestrian route or on the road. The position of the bike suggests that the cyclist was cycling on the pavement. So CHW reversed after hitting him???

Cyclist was behind the car.

Cyclist did not cycle with care, did not keep a safe distance and did not brake in time.

Cyclist not wearing helmet.

Cyclist left the scene.

Cyclist fault.

He already heng CHW said no need him to pay for his Mercedes repairs but prolly after discussing with his friends decided to extract some payment from celebrity CHW.

Like the tiong who made accusations on ZYD then took down her social media posts after ZYD reported police, I think CHW needs to stand firm.

Do not let or encourage these people turn Singapore into another country.

Cyclist also one kind.

If he thinks he is injured, call the ambulance / police.

Why leave the bicycle behind?

looks like cyclist fault. he should give way to car since there is no zebra crossing or traffic light there. he can be deemed jay walking
But no signal even if pedestrain crossed also will not see..

Sorry. Always on the side of driver. Cyclists are pests on the road. Get knocked off doesn’t mean it’s driver's fault.
