This, kids, is why they kept telling us in driving school, don't abruptly cut in front of another motorist from the left, because the odds are they won't see you, and should it be a worst case scenario....

When everyone is at the lights, all seems well. The motorcycle on the left is a GrabFood rider, and he rides off straight. It is only after the GrabFood rider goes off a little in the distance, that the Malaysian motorcycle suddenly cuts in front of the Toyota Wish, who seems to not be wanting to turn but instead going straight. 

Now before you blame the Toyota for "why is he going straight in a turning lane", watch the video.

The lane the Toyota is on can be used to turn right or go straight. Now, I am assuming the Toyota did not turn on his right signal, indicating that he didn't want to turn at the junction, he wanted to go straight. But as the light turns green, the Malaysian motorcycle just dandily cuts in from the left and right in front of the Toyota, giving the driver barely any time to react. No matter how hard you slam on your brakes, people, cars don't cut to an immediate stop like they do in cartoons. It's called physics.

Now, I'm not pointing fingers at anybody, but I believe the Toyota didn't even realise that the motorcyclist was in front of him until it was too late. But really, the Malaysian motorcyclist should have known better than to cut in front of a car in such a carefree manner. Whether you're in JB or not, I don't think most drivers would expect a motorcycle to sudden appear in front of them and prepare to turn right as one is heading straight. Ultimately, let's just hope that everyone involved in the accident is all right.

Rules, people. They exist for a reason.

No need to be so civilised, refusing to apportion blame and trying to appear even-handed. Blame falls entirely on the idiot jiu hiu kia motorcyclist. 

Look, this is my CAR forum. If you visit that retarded SG Road Vigilante site (with its inbred dumbass of an admin and moronic mods), you'll see they take every opportunity to slam cars and four-wheeled vehicles while sayang-ing motorbikers. Tia gong their "membership gang" is biased because they're mostly crotch rocketeers. Can't afford cars. Red eye, green eye, whatever. 

So given that this is entirely the retarded, dangerous, inconsiderate biker's fault, call a spade a spade, yeah?!

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
