Reckless Cyclist

[Mcf777]

SINGAPORE: A young electric scooter rider was fined S$2,200 on Tuesday (Aug 7) for injuring a pedestrian in March while riding his device.

Derrick Gan Zhong Kang, 19, was with his 17-year-old girlfriend on his e-scooter at about 10.45am on Mar 16.

The victim, 56-year-old Daisy Lim, stepped out from the back gate of Yishun Emerald condominium along 20 Canberra Drive, as Gan was overtaking another e-scooter rider.

Gan did not brake or slow down in time to avoid Ms Lim as she crossed into his path and crashed into her.

Ms Lim fell down and was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and given five days of medical leave. The injuries she suffered included a lower lip laceration, chest wall strain and skin abrasions.

Gan pleaded guilty last month to one charge of causing hurt by a negligent act, which is punishable with a maximum jail term of six months and a fine of up to S$2,500.

Should have also jail the bugger so as to serve as a warning to the rest of the electric scooter users

[Mcf777]

Judge should also put in consideration to fine the GF for abetting the BF to scoot so fast.

Should first implement this on the roads.

 

Anyone speeding, fine the whole car - including passengers.

Maybe same Grab girl - not man if not scoot at 30 km/h....

A lot of cyclists claim that they're turning right so got to keep to the extreme right lane. Unless TP come out to clarify officially and make it a rule that cyclists / PMD must keep to the left and use the traffic light to cross the junction, you'll keep on seeing these happen.

Keeping the extreme right turning lane is stupid.

 

How to keep left after right turn?

 

By the way, a lot of motorist don't have lane discipline during left or right turn.

Captured this a few minutes ago. Will you do it?

A lot of cyclists claim that they're turning right so got to keep to the extreme right lane. Unless TP come out to clarify officially and make it a rule that cyclists / PMD must keep to the left and use the traffic light to cross the junction, you'll keep on seeing these happen.

 

But it is correct. The cyclists have to follow the rules and keep to the right if they want to turn right. They just have to keep as far left as possible. So by right, the just need to go to the left most lane that allows them to turn right. 

 

this even worst

 

Seems ok? Didn't cause anyone to take evasive action or ebrake.

Or any passenger that say “Wa mai move. Tan lor” while wasting other people’s time.

Should be keep to the left most lane that can turn right. So after turning can go all the way to left lane again. Left most lane also can go further forward to look for traffic easily.

If a lane splitting motorbike comes, how?

If a lane splitting motorbike comes, how?

Then of course the cyclist will have to wait for a while before changing lanes lo. U mean you don't change lanes after you notice that it is safe to do so just because there might be a lane splitting motorcyclist?

Bicycles don't have mirrors to check their blind spots and motorcyclists don't see smaller objects until they come nearer to it. Unfortunately bicycles are slower moving and is more of the flesh covering the metal. 

They should cycle at the left most of the road and cut lanes only at the pedestrian crossings to protect themselves, else don't blame others if they meet an accident with such inconsiderate acts.

How you know they don't have mirrors? Even if they don't have mirrors, you know those cyclists personally? Or you are the cyclists in the video? How you know they never turn their head to check and already know it is clear to change lanes?

 

Why would you say this is an inconsiderate act? They did not cause anyone to take evasive action or ebrake.

 

I've seen so many cars change lanes without checking and almost causing accidents. Should we get these drivers to stick to left most lane only and use the pedestrian crossing to change lanes only? So that they don't cause an accident with their inconsiderate acts.

So you mean wait for an accident to happen then can wake up?

 

Bicycles are slow moving and should keep leftmost at all times. So hard to understand?

 

And you compare bicycle with other drivers. Which is more vulnerable? Which will be easily get killed if crash with a other vehicles or even bigger vehicles like buses and trucks? The one with flesh covering the metal or the other way around?

If they cycle safely, I don't see why not. There's a risk. But everything you do also have risk. Please stay at home. Cuz when walking on the pavement an escooter might hit you and kill you. Or maybe you'll be permanently paralised. 

 

Why don't you ask motorcyclists to get off to the left lanes and use pedestrian crossing also? The one with flesh covering the metal or the other way round? Maybe small cars also keep left all the time and turn using the pedestrian crossings. Cuz which is more vulnerable? The trucks or the small cars?
