A BUS driver was fined $8,000 and banned from driving for four years on Tuesday for causing the death of a cyclist at a traffic light junction. ....

This will only encourage cyclists to cycle across pedestrian crossings. The bus driver wasn't even making a turn.

Think the charge is for failing to keep a lookout for people crossing the road. If it happens at a spot with no pedestrian crossing, then the driver may be let off.

Neutral Newbie

The collision was due to a momentary lapse in attention or judgment on Toh's part, and contributed by the cyclist who had beaten the lights.

 

With the last sentence...i believe is 50% driver fault and 50% cyclist.

Poor bus driver! I pity him. Looks like it's not his fault.

OT a little.....How many of us when reaching a cross junction and about to turn left, will stop at the zebra crossing when there is no one near the side? I believe we always go on assumption knowing that we can still brake in time if a person dashed across the zebra crossing. But sometimes, cyclists do not understand this, they will not slow down while taking the zebra crossing as well and two wrongs definitely will not be right in this situation....

come to tuas area and see how the PRC is riding their bicycle

 

I don't think it's only in tuas area. Looks like they are all over the place. They simply don't understand that they need to slow down their bicycles or walk on the zebra crossings. So dangerous to dash across.

How to if you are brought up cycling wherever you want and do paying no regards to other road users? Its the mentality that kills

Until some MP / minister / their relatives run over another prc on a bike this is not going to end. Darwinism works but at too slow a pace and at a very high cost to innocent pple who end up as collateral damage.
