  1. When you look for trouble, this is what happens to you. Guy in front was courteous. Other guy self entitled bozo, will probably have injuries for life. A police officer once said to me it's better to be alive, than to be in the right.

  2. Brock lesnar also doesnt have the right to beat my ass if i come up to him and say "hey buddy your gorillafaced daughter takes my piece to the balls on command" and yet none of you would be confused on whether i am responsible for what happens to me right after.

    The difference between Brock and I is much smaller than the difference between a car and a bike.
    tell your graveyard neighbors about how you were "in the right"

  3. Bicycles are considered vehicles, just like motor vehicles, in most US states. They are subject to same traffic laws and have the same rights to use the roads. It may be different where this video was filmed, but the driver of the blue truck would be guilty of some degree of criminal action in most places.

  4. As well as looking like an idiot, I think you have to be low in brain cells to be riding a bike in heavy traffic. My gran told me in the 1970’s to stay off the road with my bike, as it was dangerous.

  5. I sat very patiently behind 2 cyclists on a single track country road in Scotland for a mile. I knew there was a large layby coming up. They never pulled into to let me pass just carried on cycling. I tooted and one of them stopped his bike and asked me what my problem was.

  6. The guy on the bike hit the truck first… Not saying it's right but but dont punch someones vehicle you never know what there willing to do ..

  7. Laws in Singapore may be different than in liberal western countries like the UK and USA. Bikes are counted as cars here, assinine as it may be, and must be allowed to block lanes of traffic as they huff and puff their way up our hilly roads. Perhaps in Singapore cyclists are expected to have a brain, not purposely hold traffic up or pay the piper if they are an ass.

  8. As much as I don’t approve of the drivers actions, I have to stay to fellow cyclists, what do you think will happen if you behave like this guy did? We share the road. I’ll say that again, we SHARE the road. Be respectful and considerate to other road users and they’ll be considerate back. A simple example, I’ve pulled right over at lights to allow cyclists to filter to the front. They have then cycled into single file after the light turns to let the motorists go on. A little thought and a lot less entitlement will make the roads safer for all! Be safe.

  9. The problem cyclists have is if they don’t dominate the lane in traffic they encourage close passes. I didn’t do it till a few years ago but got tired of cars brushing past the handlebar. I now cycle far enough out that the car has to pass properly, it can’t squeeze.

  10. I've been riding for 30 years. The cyclist was being a jerk – why not ride behind his friend and let the blue vehicle pass? Be courteous and obey the rules of the road (don't run red lights, etc..) , and motorists will treat you with respect. Ride with an attitude of entitlement and you will "find out".

  11. Just bad manners to hog the road riding 5 meters behind the other bicycle would not inconvenience anyone. The law need’s changing. Better still bicycle stop and give way to cars. If they cannot share the road.

  12. This is Singapore in 2018. It is well documented/reported in the newspapers. The cyclist had been fined S$2,800, after pleading guilty to mischief and not cycling in an orderly and careful manner as required under traffic regulations. The lorry driver was sentenced to seven weeks' jail, a fine of S$500 and a driving ban of two years in January for one count of causing hurt by rash driving, and another charge of failing to make a police report within 24 hours of the accident.

  13. They all are in a queue in the traffic… where does the truck driver want to go? All this for just a few meters forward? Complete nonsense, is perhaps a shame to stay behind cyclists in slow moving traffic?
