[jumpthepig]

This comment is actually the worse of the lot .
When they really pay coe , road tax and insurance .
Means they can cycle 1 lane or take up 2 lane.

By then how ??

If you buy 2 cars…. also pay 2 x COE, 2 x road tax, 2 x Insurance, 2 x Car Park fee…but you only drive one car at a time.

[AuraKUPO]

sinkapor roads don't have 1.5m to spare

like ordering cai png

you pay to add rice

there is no such thing as a bit more rice for free

Coe payers will get jealous

Pay COE, road tax and insurance first

Don't overthink your contributions.

Roads are paid by all taxpayers. CEO entitled you to buy a car, and insurance is for your own car - it's all for your convivence. Car owners are free to form a NGO group to get cyclists out of the road instead of whining here all the time.

If bicycle want to have rights on the road then it needs to able to adhere to laws applicable to all motorists including road hogging and obstruction to traffic..
Rights comes with legal responsibilities , not by demanding..

 

[The_King]

suggested that the guideline for motorists to adhere to a minimum distance of 1.5m



Keyword: guideline

No amount of infrastructure can solve the problem if there are still cyclists out there with their self entitled mentality.

For example, there's already a long stretch of cycling lane at East Coast Park...but yet some cyclists rather choose to cycle on the SINGLE lane ECP service road and slowing down the traffic.

Because it's safer for the pedestrians especially kids. One look can tell you are not sinkie or have never gone to ecp before. Everyday got many people and kids all over the place. Cyclist going on the road is to protect them.

Motorists had paid much more to control congestion on our roads.

“The basic objective of our road and vehicle taxes is to control congestion on our roads.”

Now i know why GST and other things going up,

because cyclists demanding separate new lanes for themselves, where they dont pay a premium.


So can all the cyclist who wants roads to expand, sign their name and bank acct and contribute first ? i think can poll 1m easily if all the Tour De france wanabes come together, as seen from

katong crazy lady from paralegal

delivery guys who think they're indestructible even when clearly they love to ride, zig worse than bikers, in blind spots

list goes on.

Drivers are no saint, nor pedestrians, but being entitled and not paying a dime ? theres a special place for that

 

[dambio]

support this and should catch them more often ... also, it's best to confiscate their spandex on the spot ...

Make them carry extra set of Spandex in a backpack. Then now they gotta carry a backpack n cycle also

 

[tank_t]

Get warning or jitao issue fine to all of them?

Confiscate bike enough liao

 

[alex22]

So what's the punishment for their offence?

Stern Warning?

Confiscate bicycles and equipment?

Fine?

I reckon if enforcement steps up, these groups might start collecting membership fees to help group members pay fines?

Collect stamp card, is very valuable

 

[testart]

I hated this kind of 拉帮结派 forming alliances here and there.

All these are 朋党

 

[alex22]

Confiscate bike enough liao

Too heavy. Just take 1 front wheel if have skewer, no skewer, remove the bolt through.

A lorry of wheel is less to store than a lorry of bike

Over 25 cyclists caught for exceeding convoy limit on Clementi Road and West Coast Highway​

On Saturday morning (25 May), over 25 cyclists were caught by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Traffic Police (TP) for exceeding the convoy limit during a one-day operation on Clementi Road and West Coast Highway.

The convoy could face up to S$150 fine as the fine for errant cyclists has been doubled since January 2022.

“It is an offence to cycle on roads in groups larger than 5 cyclists in a single file, or 10 cyclists riding two abreast. Groups should also keep a minimum distance of 30m, or 2 lamp posts, between one another,” reminded the LTA in a Facebook post.

25 cyclists caught & fined exceeding group limit​

The LTA posted on Facebook on 25 May that over 25 cyclists were apprehended in their latest round of operations with the Traffic Police against errant cyclists along Clementi Road and West Coast Highway.

The number of people in the group exceeded the legal limit.

The LTA added a reminder in the post that it is illegal to cycle in groups of more than five cyclists in a line, or 10 cyclists side by side. Groups should also stay at least 30 metres apart or two lamp posts away from each other.

These restrictions have been applied since January 2022, along with a fine for errant cyclists doubling to S$150.
