Red light stop, green light go: These two cyclists won't even make it past the first round of The Squid Game

The age-old, pressing issue of Motorists vs Cyclists never seem to cease.

The influx of interest in cycling resulted in many people adopting cycling as a mode of transport.

Coupled with the lack of awareness and education of road safety, and knowledge, potential issues among cyclists themselves will inevitably arise.

Take a look at this short clip:

What Happened? 

This incident happened at Punggol Central.

Although it was a red light signal for pedestrians, two cyclists flout traffic rules and blatantly cycle across a pedestrian crossing.

Despite knowing that the camcar was about to perform a discretionary turn, these errant cyclists still decided to perform this absurd and dangerous act.

The two cyclists ended up almost colliding with each other, causing the elderly cyclist to fall.

They obviously have no regard for safety rules, lest their safety. 

From their actions, I am certain that it is not their first time flouting red light signals or traffic rules in general as cyclists.

Is it really worth endangering your life over that mere seconds spent waiting for the light to turn green?

Red Light Go, Green Light Stop

Familiar with the latest Netflix craze – Squid Game? 

If you are, then you must be familiar with the first game: Red Light, Green Light.

If you aren't, read more about the game below:

Quote

In "Red Light, Green Light", players must race to a finish line.

When given the "red light", players must come to a complete stop and run to the finish line when given the "green light".

During which, a giant and creepy mannequin will be monitoring players during the "red light" phase.

Players will be shot to death with a rifle if the mannequin spots a movement made by the player.

Well, I am 101% certain these two cyclists won't make it past Game #1 of the Squid Games. 

Newly Recommended Road Cycling Rules

Just last week, a government panel – The Active Mobility Advisory Panel (AMAP), proposed a set of recommendations to review regulations to enhance road safety. 

Quote

A summary of the proposed recommendations:

  1. To continue allowing cyclists to ride abreast in a maximum of 2 on roads with two or more lanes. 
  2. Introduce a rule for on-road cycling groups, for them to limit their group length to 5 bicycles. Essentially, this means a limit of five cyclists in a single file or ten cyclists when riding abreast.  
  3. Introduce a guideline to ensure a safe distance of 2 lamp posts (30 metres) between riding groups. 
  4. Introduce a guideline in the Highway Code and driving test handbooks that require motorists to have a minimum passing distance of 1.5 metres when passing cyclists.  
  5. Highly encourage cyclists to sign up for third-party liability insurance. When involved in an accident, third-party insurance will compensate for victims and protect cyclists from potentially expensive claims.

Considering this incident, would it be wise for cyclists to practice a safe passing distance as well? Would third-party insurance be effective at all?

I will let you be the judge of the newly proposed recommendations' effectiveness.

You sohai, it's sohai.

It's hard to advocate a safe road culture for all when such errant riders have minimal regard for their personal safety.

LOL.

  • 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

    Singapore weather: Rainy or sunny, what’s healthier for you?

    Singapore can be that predictably unpredictable equatorial city, where the skies shift from radiant sunshine to torrential downpour in mere moments. Given how things have been the past few weeks, I’ve subconsciously found myself pondering the impact of this mercurial weather on our health. What does the internet say: Is it the sun-drenched days that truly invigorate us, or do the rhythmic rains offer a more profound rejuvenation? In a city where the climate dances between these two ext

    Musings about the Pomodoro Method

    In a hyper-connected mega-city, where time seems to tick at a relentlessly brisk pace and where distractions are aplenty, pondering the art of productivity and focus is inevitable. In fact, it’s almost become a necessity. No wonder so many listicles have been written to point us in the right directions. Different methods works for different folks, of course, and when I was in my final year of university, I was introduced to a method that I regularly return to still: The Pomodoro Method, a d

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli
