Nzy Twincharged January 16, 2019 Share January 16, 2019 (edited) @Nzy please read this. I hope it removes all doubt, unless yahoo publishes #fakenews. I have emailed TP to clarify. As this was not what i was told. I have also submitted videos of drivers overtaking me very closely and in some of the videos, I was not on the double yellow lines. I wasn't told it is wrong also. Some insist on the right to cycle in the middle of lane! Ya. Me. It sends a clear message to those who have been arguing that it is ok to cycle abreast...... it is confirmed NOT OK. Cycling abreast is legal. https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/dam/ltaweb/corp/GreenTransport/files/Your%20Guide%20to%20Intra-Town%20Cycling.pdf Edited January 16, 2019 by Nzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this report, he is the only cyclist being charged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic January 16, 2019 Share January 16, 2019 his is indeed a junk and devil and loves risk taking as his linkedin profile wrote: Born and raised in the United Kingdom and moved to Asia in 2011. Risk-taking daredevil and adrenaline junkie who gets his kicks from raising the industry bar. Since his early days as a student entrepreneur in the business of nightlife and entertainment, he has been addicted to getting “high” on the pure satisfaction of staging a great event. He brings ten years of work experience in events, marketing and catering sales to MCI where he is now responsible for promoting the company’s services both locally and regionally while connecting and building relationships with existing and potential clients – something he personally enjoys as a natural extrovert.

Cycling abreast is legal. https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/dam/ltaweb/corp/GreenTransport/files/Your%20Guide%20to%20Intra-Town%20Cycling.pdf You missed point #3. As with every other things, T&C applies. BTW, according to news, he was charged for point #3 in fact... Cheung was charged with one count of riding his bicycle in a disorderly manner without due regard for the safety of others by riding his bicycle in the middle of the leftmost lane, instead of keeping to the far left edge of the road, hence causing obstructions to faster moving vehicles. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othello Supersonic January 16, 2019 Share January 16, 2019 I have emailed TP to clarify. As this was not what i was told. I have also submitted videos of drivers overtaking me very closely and in some of the videos, I was not on the double yellow lines. I wasn't told it is wrong also. Is it ok to share what the TP's reply was ? Nobody is saying must cycle on the double yellow lines, where did you read that from ? Did you tell TP that you were cycling in the MIDDLE of the lane ? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged January 16, 2019 Share January 16, 2019 If cycle abreast not ok, there must be 2 persons being charged. Based on this report, he is the only cyclist being charged. from the wording of the police statement, my belief is that his charged crime is more the case of him driving in the middle of the lane and obstructing traffic more than merely cycling abreast. Is it ok to share what the TP's reply was ? Nobody is saying must cycle on the double yellow lines, where did you read that from ? Did you tell TP that you were cycling in the MIDDLE of the lane ? i tend to agree with you. it seemed to me traffic police is charging him for cycling in the middle of the lane. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othello Supersonic January 16, 2019 Share January 16, 2019 @Nzy I suggest you take a screenshot or attach the link below, and clarify again with whoever you corresponded with at TP. I do not want to see you being charged in court as it carries a fine of up to S$1,000 or 3 months' jail !!! https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/cyclist-and-lorry-driver-in-viral-pasir-ris-altercation-charged-in-court Cheung is also charged with breaching traffic rules by riding his bicycle in the middle of the leftmost lane, instead of keeping to the far left edge of the road, thereby causing obstruction to faster moving vehicles.

Did you tell TP that you were cycling in the MIDDLE of the lane ? Waiting for the reply since you want black and white. I asked how far left must we cycle. The TP I encountered is the one that is always stationed outside Thomson medical centre. That one told me so long keep to left lane unless turning right can already.

Acemundo Supercharged January 16, 2019 Share January 16, 2019 Don’t worry la, someday someone will pay for it with his life by insisting on his rights when he meet a maniac driver. i am actually quietly disgruntled that he seemed not to have suffered any meaningful injury.......call me a sadist but he deserves it! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's also good to know that it is a chargeable offence. Cos bro NZY keep saying TP say its ok. So TP means, it's ok. But we reserve the right to charge you !?

Heartlander Turbocharged January 16, 2019 Share January 16, 2019 Yeah. I did email them to get black and white on how far left is considered left enough. First email in dec, no reply, I just emailed again. I also used to cycle on the road alot, always keep very close to the kerb most time in whatever markings there where possible. But I always see those MAMIL cyclists cycling in the middle of the lane thinking they have the right of way. Now at least there is clarity. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
