Why Drivers Hate To See Cyclists

To all cycling enthusiasts and pro-cycling people, this 'PBK' in the video is one reason why drivers hate you.

Please watch this video (uploaded by SG Road Vigilante) and tell me whether you feel the rage I feel as a driver.

What's Happening

In this 0.29 second video, we see a cyclist doing a series of wrong things (in just 3 seconds)

1.       He's cycling on a footpath when he should be on the road

2.       He does not check his blind spot

3.       He makes a 'lane change' to the road with total disregard to traffic

This incident happens along Mandai Road, near the Mandai Crematorium (which is where he would have gone if he had been run down).

What's worse, from the cam car's footage, it looks like it might have hit the KIA Niro in front that had to do an emergency brake (the recording cuts off before any impact, so I can only speculate).

I totally cannot understand the mind of these cyclists who can just ride in their own world and disregard other road users. 

Why would one just jump out to the road without even checking if there is any traffic behind? Well I guess, these cyclists (not just this one but those who hogged a long stretch of traffic behind) probably didn't bother much about their own life or think their life are cheap. Globally, cyclists are becoming a nuisance.

I seriously doubt most of them know what's Highway Code in the first place (if they are not a driver).

Same goes for PMDs.

    Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    In life, there is no pleasure without pain

    Before anything else, let me assure you that this is not about BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism). Like many of my posts, this is an observation about life. More specifically, the duality of pain and pleasure that exists within it. Let's consider the analogy of light and dark: A room seems bright because the darkness subdued. Yet without the presence of darkness, how do we perceive the brightness of the light? Similarly, we cannot savour the sweetness of pleasure without the
