Someone posted the news awhile ago right? Didn't know in front got a motorbike video the whole thing. Looked like the car had no intention to stop, maybe chiong red light? Cause the video cam vehicle also not moving waiting for traffic.

Think from the cam vehicle being stationary can sort assumed that the turning is not green light yet bah perhaps. That's why the biker slowly eased into the lane, probably intending to stop at the front also. The car doesn't look like intending to stop from the way its going. Can't help wonder want to chiong red light is it.
