The conflict between motorists and cyclists never ends.

Every time it happens, a dashcam video emerges on the internet for us to spectate the drama between them. 

Here's one such video that occurred over the weekend.

Where?

The incident occurred at Kranji dam, along Kranji Way, which is a two-lane road. 

It seems as if Tour de Singapore is the favourite pastime of Singaporeans these days and it's commonplace to see big groups of cyclists on the road nowadays (as though the pandemic is already over).

Road regulation reminder for cyclists 

Cycling abreast is allowed, but only on roads with more than one lane in the same direction.

Below is an example where cyclists are allowed to cycle abreast.  1784917260_Screenshot2021-09-13at10_22_32AM.thumb.png.3523619985bca8ffdb961095a55f9195.png

In this case, cycling abreast is prohibited since Kranji Way is a two-lane road going in opposite directions.

Increasing the number of cyclists does not mean you can flout the regulations. Don't give me that 'strength in numbers' bull crap.

The Van Driver

The van driver was obviously feeling a tad bit frustrated from the road hogging of the entire kampong of cyclists. 

As such, he took matters into his own hands by crossing the double white lines to go against the traffic flow to dangerously overtake (but failed) the group of cyclists.

That's three offences committed within quick succession of one another – The perfect formula to getting your license suspended or revoked.

Straight facts. They are undoubtedly the cause of the incident.

Maybe next time the cyclist should 'ownself check ownself' before posting the video online.

Unpopular opinion edition. I guess you could say that...

  • Snowy Singapore: How would Singapore weather snowfall?

    Earlier today, it rained so heavily that when looking out the pantry windows at lunch, it almost felt as if I was witnessing snow falling. It’s both an intriguing yet also slightly scary thought – the fantasy of snowflakes descending upon Singapore. Just imagine the Singapore River frozen over, with the foreground of MBS covered over with a blanket of snow. While the image of our tropical city-state cloaked in a delicate layer of white first evoked images of enchantment, it immediately

    How are we already in June?

    During lunch with my mother a couple of weeks back over yong tau foo, I was asked about my opinion on the latest NDP song. And of course, as expected of any chronically insular millennial, my reaction was: “Huh? There’s a new NDP song?” But of course there is. And I say this not to disparage the wonderful songwriters and musicians that provide an anthem to remember the nation’s birthday by annually, but to knock into my own mind the harsh reality: We’re already in mid-June.  It fe

    I have a new favourite game - Dave the Diver!

    Nowadays I think many people have a Nintendo Switch, considering how it is often given away as a free gift when you sign up for credit cards,etc. Instead of just playing Mario Kart, Overcooked and Pokemon, I have another game to introduce to you all! The game is Dave the Diver. This game has completely captivated me with its delightful blend of adventure and relaxation. From the moment I dove into its vibrant underwater world, I was hooked. The gameplay mechanics strike that perfect b
