Taking safety for granted: Cyclist chiongs out of filter lane without checking for oncoming traffic
To be honest with y'all, I have lost count on the number of blog articles that I wrote that involved obnoxious cyclists.
Truth be told, I have always believed that not every cyclist on the road is an ill-mannered, road-senseless prick...until now.
This video is why I have formally lost faith in cyclists in Singapore:
What Happened?
A Toyota Vios driver honked a cyclist at a filter lane for apparently 'chionging' out without checking for oncoming traffic.
Unfortunately, the honk cannot be heard in the dashcam footage.
Moments later, the cyclist rode up to the Toyota Vios at a red light to confront the driver.
Upon dismounting from his bicycle, a heated exchange ensued between the cyclist and the Toyota driver.
And yes, you won't be disappointed with the exchange; skip to 0:12 and 0:16 to hear the magical words!
The Ultimate Black Sheep Of The Community
This cyclist is the final evolution of cyclists, literally the worst type anyone can encounter.
At 0:28, the cyclist blatantly disregarded his safety by 'chionging' out from a filter lane WITHOUT looking for oncoming traffic.
At 1:50, the cyclist performed a sudden swerve in the last lane without checking for traffic, which could have caused a collision with the motorcyclist behind him.
And unsurprisingly, at 2:05, he decides to hog the last lane by choosing not to ride closest to the left-hand edge of the road, leaving the BMW driver be like:
Popular Opinion
Regardless, cyclists should not be on the road if he/they cannot accept being honked by other road users.
After all, honking is not a tool used for scolding or berating others.
Instead, it is meant to inform or alert others to avoid a potential accident.

This is what you get as a lack of accountability.

Especially those wearing green, pink and light blue.
