[Singapore] - 16 cyclists arrested by Traffic Police & LTA for beating red light and riding against traffic flow on Apr 17 & 18

[mojito]

They’re probably playing to the gallery a bit to show they have “considered” the single file suggestion and find it unworkable. I can’t imagine that cars will now have to overtake a 30 coach train instead of a bus.

See what a nuisance u are?

 

[LordElrond]

See what a nuisance u are?

It’s quite subjective who is the nuisance. To the cyclists, the cars should not be on the road. So it’s really a matter of perception.

 

[Leongsam]

See what a nuisance u are?

Bicycles may get in the way once in a while but the few seconds delay they may cause pales in comparison to the death and destruction that cars cause on a daily basis. Bread winner's lives snuffed out, children left without a parent and nobody to put food on the table, lives devastated as a result of the atrocious and downright reckless drivers who use their car as a weapon to terrorise the streets.

 

[Leongsam]

 

[Leongsam]

Show me one cyclist who can cause this much carnage and snuff out two lives in a split second.

 

[LordElrond]

Wow this driver is a retard

 

[LordElrond]

Show me one cyclist who can cause this much carnage and snuff out two lives in a split second.

Seriously tell me how can they allow motorised vehicles on the road? I doubt firearms possession can cause that much damage.

 

[Leongsam]

Wow this driver is a retard

He's a "professional" driver. He drives for a living. It pretty much sums up the whole story when it comes to cars vs cyclists.

 

[Leongsam]

Seriously tell me how can they allow motorised vehicles on the road? I doubt firearms possession can cause that much damage.

So the elephant in the room is..........?

What to do ? When Madam farts the ministers jump. Hopefully she will find another cause to scratch her G spot and we can move on.

Show me one cyclist who can cause this much carnage and snuff out two lives in a split second.

Bloody scene at Whampoa void deck after elderly man allegedly hit by e-scooter​

A passer-by stopped to help him.

An elderly man was conveyed to the hospital on May 18 after an alleged hit-and-run incident involving an e-scooter.
A video of the incident was uploaded by Facebook page SG Road Vigilante on May 23.
The two-minute clip showed an elderly man sitting at the void deck of Jalan Tenteram in Whampoa as a passer-by helped him with his injuries.
The passer-by, who has been identified as 52-year-old Mo Guoqiang by Lianhe Wanbao, was also the one filming the video.
The victim wiped his bloodied face with tissue paper as he thanked Mo for his assistance.
There were noticeable blood stains on the elderly man's outfit, as well as a significant pool of blood at void deck.
A photo of a reusable mask, soaked through with blood, was also part of the footage.

In response to queries from Mothership, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that they were alerted to a call for assistance at Blk 17 Jalan Tenteram around 4:20pm.

The victim was sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

Suspected hit-and-run​

Mo told Wanbao in an interview that the elderly man appeared stunned, and could not elucidate what had caused his injuries.
However, he remembered falling face down when the mishap occurred.
While Mo initially thought that the elderly man had had a fall, a boy had apparently come forward at the scene to reveal that he witnessed an e-scooter colliding with the victim.
As there were no e-scooters in the vicinity, Mo therefore suspected that it was a hit-and-run.
Since Nov. 5, 2019, personal mobility devices (PMDs) have been banned on public footpaths.
Instead, they are only allowed on cycling and park connector network paths.

If a car had hit that old fart he’d be dead which proves yet again that cars are far more dangerous compared to PMDs.

Cyclist at Yishun Dam hits stationary car & smashes its windscreen while gawking at accident​

​

A cyclist slammed into the back of a car while cycling down Yishun Dam on Dec. 27.
Footage of the incident was uploaded on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page, where it has gathered nearly two thousand reactions.
The footage, likely to have been recorded by another rider, also showed the errant cyclist wielding a mobile phone just before the accident — likely trying to a take a photo of an accident involving two lorries, which took place earlier in the day as he rode past.
The cyclist, along with other riders, are seen weaving around traffic cones put up to guide traffic around the vehicles involved in the accident.
The cyclist passes the traffic cones and puts away his phone, but is seen looking back a few times, before colliding into a stationary car parked along the side of the road.

The impact sent the bicycle flying into the air behind him, with both wheels off the ground momentarily, before crashing onto the asphalt together with its rider.
While it is unlikely that the cyclist did not see the parked cars, he likely misjudged the distance between him and the first car while he was looking back.
Parking along Yishun Dam on that segment of the westbound side is allowed on Sundays and public holidays, and between 7pm and 7am, as it is marked with one continuous yellow line.

What happened to the car?​

According to a follow-up post, the impact of the crash caused the car's rear windscreen to shatter.

Photo via SG Road Vigilante on Facebook.
The post labelled the incident a "hit & run", and said that the car owner has made a police report.
Mothership has contacted the police regarding the incident, and will update the article if we receive a response.

Reactions to the video​

Many comments on the Facebook post were critical of the cyclist.
Some called for the cyclist to compensate the owner of the car, while others called for cyclists to be required to register to ride on the road, and to be required to purchase third-party insurance.

No using handheld mobile devices while riding​

Since Aug. 1, cyclists are not allowed to use mobile devices while riding, unless they are mounted to their vehicle.
Those who are caught can be fined up to S$1,000 and jailed for up to three months.
This applies to users of all vehicles regulated by the Active Mobility Act, which includes PMDs, PABs, and bicycles, as well as Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs).
The new regulation was put in place to address safety concerns related to distracted riding, LTA said.

Cyclist beats red light and gets hit by Grab car, allegedly insists driver is at fault​

A 39-year-old cyclist was taken to hospital after he was hit by a car at the junction of Orchard Road and Scotts Road on Mar 6.
Stomp contributor Kirby alerted Stomp to the incident and shared that his father was the driver of the car involved.

"This incident was encountered by my father who is a Grab driver," he said.

"He was driving along Orchard Road on March 6, 2021 around 7:43am.
"Given that it was green light in favour of the driver, it would have been almost impossible for the cyclist’s claim of 'having the right of way as his direction is in green light' to be true.

Family of cyclist killed by e-scooter rider calls 12-week jail sentence ‘too lenient’

The wake of Ong Bee Eng, 65, held at Block 50, Chai Chee Street. She died on Sept 25, 2019, four days after she was severely injured during a collision with an e-scooter rider.
SINGAPORE — The family of a 64-year-old woman, who died almost two years ago after an electric-scooter rider crashed into her, told TODAY that they were “really disappointed and saddened” by a district court’s sentence handed down on Thursday (May 20).

Ong Bee Eng, a grandmother of three, was killed in September 2019 when Hung Kee Boon barrelled into her while speeding on his overweight personal mobility device (PMD).

Hung, now 22, was jailed for 12 weeks on Thursday after pleading guilty to causing Ong’s death by a rash act and riding a non-compliant PMD on a shared cycling path. It was the first death here arising from a collision with a PMD user.

The prosecution had sought a sentence of three months — in line with the sentence given.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW ADVERTISEMENT

Ong’s niece, Ms Eileen Sim, 30, said that the family was disappointed with the sentence meted out because it was “too lenient”, adding that “one life lost is one too many”.

“It is merely 12 weeks of jail time as punishment for the accused but for us, we lost our beloved family member forever,” she told TODAY on behalf of Ong’s daughter, Ms Kelly Ng.

Ms Sim added: “While it has been close to two years since the accident and the death of my aunt, our family is still coping with the loss… (We) do not rule out the possibility of taking civil action against the PMD rider and we are currently still in discussion.”

Both Ms Sim and Ms Ng declined to reveal their occupations.

Ong, who was widowed and worked as a logistics assistant, is survived by two children and three grandchildren. She was also the oldest among her four siblings, with more than 100 friends and family visiting her in Changi General Hospital when she was in critical condition.

On the evening of the accident, she had been cycling near a coffee shop at Block 539 Bedok North Street 3 after buying some drinks for her family at a nearby supermarket.

At the same time, Hung was riding along a cycling path beside the block. When Ong entered the path, Hung could not stop in time and collided with her, flinging her off her bicycle.

A Health Sciences Authority analysis after the accident showed that he was travelling between 27km/h and 43km/h before the crash. Ong was cycling at 6km/h to 10km/h.

Under Land Transport Authority (LTA) regulations, the maximum speed on public paths is 25km/h and PMDs cannot exceed 70cm in width.

Hung’s e-scooter weighed 44.2kg — more than double the maximum weight of 20kg set by LTA— and its handlebars measured 72.5cm across. Its maximum speed, as specified by the manufacturer, was 75km/h to 80km/h.

Members of the public who rushed to Ong’s aid found her unconscious and bleeding from the head. Hung was also hurt but was conscious.

Ong sustained a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures. She never regained consciousness and succumbed to her injuries in hospital four days after the accident.

For causing death by a rash act, Hung could have been jailed for up to five years or fined, or punished with both.
