Attention all cyclists! Vehicles with COE are not the only ones with road responsibility

Attention all cyclists! Vehicles with COE are not the only ones with road responsibility

A video was recorded of a cyclist recklessly endangering his own life by cutting across the lane without checking his blindspot. 

It resulted in him splitting lanes and almost colliding with the camcar behind him, endangering both his own life and risking damage to the vehicle. 

Watch the video for yourself below 

Clearly this cyclist is not ‘kiasi’, or as a translation for non-Singaporean folk, ‘afraid to die’.

Oftentimes, in videos like these, it serves well as a reminder that road safety is a shared responsibility and not solely on the shoulders of the vehicles.

Road safety should be treated as instinctive as well as a personal responsibility, and it is crucial that decisive steps are taken against reckless behaviour that might put either the individual or others at risk. 

Netizen Comments 

Netizens chime in on their opinions of the matter, some criticizing the cyclist while others defend him.

To those idiots who think that in the event your irresponsible cycling act causing an accident between any vehicle, the law will penalise the vehicle's owner so is ok the ride your way, your thinking is just wrong.

Why? Because your life and your safety are your own responsibility not others.

Most of them appeared at night to make a monkey of themselves.

Believe it or not they look like this to me.

  • 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

    A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    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

    23 years on, Infernal Affairs remains the best gangster movie I've watched

    TL;DR It's over two decades old, but Infernal Affairs remains THE gangster trilogy. *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* The Hong Kong Police and a triad have placed moles in each other's ranks. Tony Leung is Chan Wing Yan, an undercover cop desperate to leave his assignment. The antagonist is Senior Inspector Lau Kin Ming (Andy Lau), a decorated policeman who is actually a mole for Hon Sam (Eric Tsang), a triad boss. It's a game of cat-and-mouse, with poli
