Cannot imagine the impact of the force.... Road Bikes = Need for Speed;  but at 6pm cyclist should jolly well know that the traffic is heavy and not smooth flowing as it is  

 

Another thing is who pays for the damages (bills  incurred) while the victim is in hospital , but unlike cars there is no insurance for 3rd party for bikers to start with

All very good points. 

I'm very happy as a taxpayer paying for that cb's accommodation in Changi and his meals there though.

The victim's family should sue that cb for damage. I'm sure he will be liable.

Not just the force, its how the Uncle fell backwards hit back of head. 

 

There was one case where a guy punched another older man, the older man fell backward hit his head and died. 

At least he took responsibility, stayed back to tend the guy. 

If he rode more defensively and not expect the man to stop, this accident wouldn't have happened.

Last few years back in Geylang/ Sims area it was the e-bike menace...."weezing"  in/out ..... like the place is for the  "borne free people or even Sovereigns"....... anything goes

This type of CBs most priced possession is probably his bike... Sue also can get nothing. And he would be deported after Chalet stay.

Being a foreigner and working -he likely has no assets whatsoever here ; get paper judgement in the pedestrian favor also no use; good money wasted chasing after bad money 

Also is a 1 week jail sentence likely end up in deportation ?? is it treated as a criminal act or just an accident or incident ??

Now that we have lesser PMD problems, I can only hope that cyclists can be more considerate, there will always be old folks, kids and pregnant women walking on the road and footpath , be very careful   and be considerate of   safety of other road users when riding.

Interim barricades for cyclists below Benjamin Sheares Bridge to ensure safety of young children

The area below the Benjamin Sheares Bridge is an event space, with many families using it, he added. “For their safety, especially with young children running around, we have put up interim barricades and signage to remind cyclists to dismount and push their bike, following which, they can mount their bikes again and cycle for the rest of the stretch.”

the driver got skill or not  is 1 issue.

but because the way this idiot is cycling, he force a whole row of cars to over take using opposite lane at night  with cars coming.

he increase the risk of every 1 including opposite car having an accident .

all that just because 1 cyclist refuse to cycle within the rules.
