Gruesome accident at Tampines St 45 T JUNCTION - RIP

Many of the drivers in Sinkie Land are crazy and dangerous. Isn't it just last week that another crazy truck driver who deliberately sideswiped the lady on a scooter at the PIE?
Ironically, to kill a person in a road accident does not warrant a death sentence, but a murder does.
Whatever it is in this case, it's not a straight road, but at a junction and all drivers are supposed to slow down and be extra alert when approaching junctions.

a) Traffic Police can help by releasing
the J Eye recording at that junction.

Even if you obey all traffic rules, there's no guarantee your life will be safe on the roads. Remember Ma Chi the Tiong Speed Racer?
The taxi driver and the Jap female passenger died before they had a chance to blink and think 'WTF'.
Also, two wheels are always more vulnerable to four wheels.

This is indeed very sad. The younger the child the more vulnerable he is on the roads.
Kids will always have an innocent, carefree attitude, thinking that the world is a good and kind place.
RIP

RIP to the family.
but i do not empathize with the cyclist's actions.
Like lianbeng mentioned, why are they on the road?
Were they rushing to school and could not out-run the truck therefore resulting in this unfortunate event?
Or the truck thought this and the cyclist thought that, but cyclist forgot that he had 2 young lives with him?
C'mon, cyclists do not pay ERP and car registration fee - why are they allowed on the roads?
Why don't the government tax them so that I can shut my mouth on this?
It will be wonderful source of revenue, knowing that there are so many PRC (and other nationalities) bringing this money-saving cycling habit of theirs to SG.

Don't you think you're being too snobbish? And furthermore, don't tell me you've never cycled on the road when you were much younger? Why, now that you have the money to buy cars and want to deny cyclists their usage of the road as well.
I can agree that children below a certain age must not be allowed to cycle on the roads, but to have a blanket ban on all (age) cyclists is totally ridiculous.
Roger that.
And the driver is definitely residing in another HDB dwelling.
FT or not FT.

I am extremely sad over the loss of such young lives. Just dunno what to say. I just think of the poor parents.
Mere words cannot describe the pain in my heart to see such innocent kids being rammed by drivers of monstrous trucks.
Anyway, isn't it the responsibility of all drivers to use their brains and slow down anywhere where there are kids riding two-wheelers, like close to schools. Even truly 3rd World nations like Indonesia has such rules close to schools where the roads are painted red.
Back in the 50's and late 60's there were special lanes reserved for cyclists. I am sure many old-timers would remember Macpherson Road.
In those days, the road planners had the safety of cyclists in their minds. Why not today when so many cyclists are on the roads? I wish to ask TP, LTA , what have you people to say? Get your priorities right, instead of only using your services for VIP escorts and making money out of summones from drivers of vehicles caught in bus-lanes, respectively.
When the PCR (Pedestrian Crossing Rules) were introduced in the late 70's, NS policemen used to be stationed at such crossings. Why not today?
What is the Education Dept of the Traffic Police doing? Can't they send their officers to give talks to students about such dangers and flash such gory pictures so as to ensure that it get into the young minds of the students. I remember police officers doing it (talk on dangers of joining secret-societies) and these officers even showed photos of murdered gangsters to students. Gory pics but surely sent message across...
Just so sad for the families. Hello, Traffic Police please revert to your old duties which you have conveniently "out-sourced to LTA marshalls, Cisco, etc...
Don't let another young life be snuffed out.
