Cyclist in the wrong but bus driver arrested

Even North Korea Pyongyang has bicycle lanes. Which is the backward country I wonder?

Singapore is riche. We can afford coe. Can't have freeloaders, foreigners and cheapskates dictate our public policy now can we?

A 63 year old should never be allowed to drive a bus. With the high standard of living in Singapore, he should be staying at home looking after grandchildren and not driving around killing people.

Retirement age in Sinkapor is 67 now. The bus driver is well within his working age.

A lot of cyclists never obey traffic rules. I'm sure the bus was making a right turn with the traffic lights in its favour.

Foreigners n PRs like tobcycle as if they own the road,...

This is why buses and cars are not the ideal means of transport. They are lethal in the hands of careless drivers.

PMD ride sharing schemes are far safer for everyone and should be implemented asap so that the number of buses on the road can be drastically reduced.

Lol... u compared some 5th world shithole to a bustling busy city country like Singapore?


In (insert 5th world country in here) a Man Goes to Buy a Car...

The man goes to the official agency, puts down his money, and was told that he can take delivery of his automobile in exactly 10 years.

''Morning or afternoon?'' the purchaser asks. ''Ten years from now, what difference does it make?'' replies the clerk.

''Well,'' says the car-buyer, ''the plumber's coming in the morning.''

that accident area very poor lighting.

Not just this accident. We had accidents in broad daylight too.

This is quite tragic case and shows that LTA should do much more to educate all road users in Singapore (especially public bus drivers and also school kids and cyclists ) ASAP and more policeman on bicycle or motorcycle (especially plain clothes) is necessary to arrest errant Road users and also educate cyclist (and road users) etc whenever they come across dangerous driving behaviour.

Think the SBS media statement conveniently left out fact that driver didn't properly check his blind spot or else his turn was too tight etc. According to the witness video (Razor) , the SBS bus had already made the right turn, this suggests that SBS is omitting the fact that their bus driver is very reckless and probably totally didn't check his right side clearence during the turn and was also totally unaware he had collided and dragged the cyclist for 30m (probably from impact within the junction, since video shows bus having ALREADY completed the right turn, stopping a distance (seems>30m)after the T-junction) ).

Cyclist also must be careful and keep to the left most turn right lane (which isn't easy cos other junctions have go straight and turn right option).

Probably, the problem is that cyclist tried to keep left a bit during the right turn and bus driver wasn't aware of road situation and just quickly turned blindly and steeply rightwards without checking blind spot, his side clearence not his rear view cameras (for cyclist approaching from behind) during the turn .

Probably, cyclist doesn't have any driving license, thus doesn't understand how big blind spot is for the bus and the wide turning angle for long vehicles.

Think for road safety, MOE and LTA need to provide a car and possibly also a bus at road safety park for all the kids to sit inside the drivers seat and understand the concept of blind spot. (and also dangers of crossing road in front of stationary bus).

LTA and traffic police must really pull up their socks where road safety is concerned.

If my accident re-construction is correct, this accident was totally avoidable if both parties had a better road sense or more safe road use experience.

Imuho as a ex driving instructor without bias KNN my uncle is shocked that the bus driver get into trouble based on 3 simple leesons KNN
1. The cyclist should not be even near themselves to any big vehicle KNN hence cyclist was the initiator of the accident KNN
2. The bus weight is so much more than the bicycle that crushing over it will not have much awareness to any human sensitivity KNN
3. Bus driver check blind spots to be aware of any vehicles near them and not for anything under the wheel KNN
Hence my uncle verdict is bus driver 0% fault at most 1% (purelee for the 30m instead of say 10m anyway this is not gonna change the end leesult KNN) whereas cyclist awarded 100% at fault KNN

Lots of cyclists hogging the first lane on the road, sometimes an entire convoy of them.

They shouldn't be banned, but drivers should be granted total legal indemnity should any 'accidents' happen to those cyclists. The cyclists should also be warned that they cycle on the roads at their own risk, and no one should be held responsible for their well-being.

Run them over, rather than they runningelderly over. I saw amdk on bike, red light all cars stop he just go
