“These videos surface daily, yet we still think our current regulations are enough. It’s inevitable. This time it’s a motorcycle, but the next time it’ll be a cement truck,” commented Facebook user Samuel Tan Jun Wei.

“Do we need to see a viral video of a cyclist literally smeared over the roads by a truck with a trail of blood before more can be done? Probably…(And hey, the cyclist only gets a $150 fine!),” he added.

“LTA (Land Transport Authority) can stop all cyclists (motorised or not) to push instead of speeding across traffic junctions,” said Facebook user Cherry Ng.

“Is either they knock Pedro’s or bring knock by incoming vehicles. For motorised, please fine them heavily if they don’t comply otherwise, they take it too lightly.” /TISG
