Just saw this while scrolling fb..

It might be abit overdue but this really highlight the importance on the need for cyclists to get compulsory insurance to cover liability towards third party.. I pity the kid that is born into this idiot ang mo family... hope she's OK.
But in this case as mentioned in the feed, the driver got to bear all the consequence for something that isn't his fault. I guess his NCD will get affected too. Is it fair??


Link below in case video doesn't pop up. Someone can post it up. I don't know how to post the video

Just ban cyclist on the road, problem solve

 

[IceSenpai]

is the road ok? they shouldn't dirty the road with their junks

 

[yesman2978]

Yes, cyclist have to abide to the same law as vehicles also. Go read up.

They don't abide, what happen ah?

Run red light, will get 12 demerit points and fine? Run red lights 2 times will be disqualified?

Bang into people, bang into vehicles, how ah? Can claim repair and hospitalisation cost from them?

Please enlighten us.

 

[zoossh]

The more unfair it is, the more you can expect them to talk down to you, because while reasoning is on your side, the policies is on their side

 

[blankies]

It's Really the parents fault in this case.....

 

[icebleue]

when the next law minister is an anti cyclist?
sorry but the current one is an avid cyclist. LOL...

 

[potatohead]

i can never wrap my head around the behaviors of those spandexes on road. by the look of their attires and equipment, it is reasonable to assume most are reasonably educated, holding good paying white collar jobs or even being their own boss, so now, why would anyone in their right mind with so much to lose in life do such a dangerous thing as in riding for fun on singapore's very busy and perpetually-under-some-sort-of-construction roads?

did it not cross their well paid brilliant minds that everytime when they put feet to pedal on singapore roads it may very well be their last time? and that they need to be lucky everytime just to push back that fateful day 1 more time? when will such luck run out? did it not occur to them that simi right of way right to usage of roads who right who wrong no longer matter a single bit when they are either a lifeless pulp in the middle of the road or lying in vegetative state inside icu?

 

[jkohlc2]

Of course they know it's unfair, if not why are they so arrogant?

 

[Nanduleg]

Only when Lta ban cyclists aka pest on the roads

just because you pay ERP and COE doesnt make u owner of the road.. rightfully one lane should be marked for cyclist, one for buses and one for cars.. all cars should manage in one lane.....

 

[sanukboy]

When I was in Europe...

I have never come across Jokers
who cycle the way they do here...

Is it because they think Singapore
is the ONLY PLACE in the World
where they can cycle like that?

 

[Shion]

ban cycling is the best
