Raymondism Twincharged November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 http://transport.asiaone.com/news/general/story/cyclist-spotted-riding-along-mce-during-morning-rush-hour SINGAPORE - A cyclist was seen pedalling on the road shoulder of the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) this morning. A Stomp reader told the citizen journalism website that he had thought it was a motorcyclist. He said it was during the morning rush hour at about 8.30am when he noticed the cyclist entering the MCE from the East Coast Parkway (ECP) towards the city. He told Stomp: "Initially, at the first glance it looked like a motorcyclist, but I was shocked to realise it was a cyclist pedaling on the road shoulder! "I hope LTA can do something about this incident." Cyclists here face a fine of $20 for riding on an expressway, which is against the Road Traffic (Expressway Traffic) Rules. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast1 Supersonic November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 "I hope LTA can do something about this incident." What can they do, unless they catch him in the act and bother to bestir themselves to intercept and detain him? That's what comes of having no registration of bicycles, a situation which will remain as long as the vocal lycra brigade gets their selfish way. Cyclists here face a fine of $20 for riding on an expressway, which is against the Road Traffic (Expressway Traffic) Rules. $20? At least make it realistic lah. Fine $200 plus confiscation of bicycle sounds like a good start. And someone loves to harp on about the underprivileged bikers not being able to afford this penalty. Here's a clue for the "underprivileged": *Stop breaking the law!!* But if one is really so concerned about egalitarianism, I guess one can do a means-test based fine, e.g. fine 5% of last annual income based on IR8E. Sort of like they do in some places in Europe for traffic offences. (I have no issues with them doing exactly that for cars, by the way, as long as such penalties are imposed equitably on ALL road users). 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 A good bicycle not cheap also but the $20 fine a bit odd. Crazy ppl once in a bluemoon pull this kinda stunt. Even if fine $2K also no point, still peanuts compared to other summons. Confiscate bike also must find place to store. Too tedious for that one or two crazy ppl.

Watwheels Supersonic November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 Best cyclist I have encountered is a moron cycling oncoming traffic on the fastest lane near to the road divider of the expressway. Can imagine the surprise I get when I swoosh past the moron. No helmet, no blinking lights and at night. At 100km/hr after coming down from Sheares bridge, that's before MCE was completed. Towards AYE. my exacts words were "mutherfxxkin idiot" when I have gone passed the moron. This dude must be born legs first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 Man...crazy dangerous. Given length of MCE shouldn't be that hard to catch if they want to... Software can be programmed to alert to such things, then just send out patrol car. $20 fine is a bit of a joke. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
