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.

Chen Hanwei admits not signalling but he slowed down​

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.

What punishment ?

No injury or damage to public property, means no police case, he just needs to file the report with his insurer and get his Mercedes fixed.

That cyclist needs to go collect his bicycle he left behind after fleeing. And perhaps consider wearing a hemet the next time he decides to ride.

 

[the_dog]

what is the penalty for leaving the bicycle not in a designated bike parking space ?

 

[miko66]

expecting pedestrians to give way to them on pedestrian walkways
expecting drivers to give way to them on roads

That's y they're aka king of the road no !

LTA need to mandate no cycling allowed on walkways, pathways, passageways ... prone to accident

Which ministry can fine LTA for their lapses ah ...

 

[HirotoXeno]

Cycling on public road with no helmet is illegal

Time to ask sharing bicycle to provide helmet or else cant operate…

 

[PARKRANGER]

Chw should ask if the bicycle is ok

 

[kw442]

SG still don't have a law that cyclist must wear helmet and a working headlight when cycling?!

I remember the UK had this law more than 30 years ago.

 

[Maaasa]

i hate walkin along such paths with condo beside it. some drivers don't give way even if you already halfway reaching the other side, and you won't know they intended to drive into condo cos they dont signal. really kns behavior.

you think drivers like to drive on such shared path with pedestrians and cyclists? Even when the drivers are already on the path waiting for traffic to clear and move off, dumb pedestrians and cyclists will deviate from the path and cross in front of drivers when they are about to move off.

the picture is 33year old? sure a notch?

 

[cet87]

I think cyclist expecting Han to pay some medical fee and threaten call mata.
Never expect Han to really call, so he run road first.

 

[powerrr]

But cyclist cycling on the road right? No?

No.

From the pic, there is a Pcn or footpath with a small road cutting into its path. Moi think the cyclist was on the footpath.

 

[1.koln]

Ask if he's ok also not happy

 

[oddbasket]
