How many times have we seen cyclists beating traffic lights? Then they complain road not safe enough for them.

SINGAPORE - A cyclist was caught on camera attempting to beat a red light outside Tampines North Community Club. He collided into an oncoming motorcycle.
A taxi had managed to avoid him by swerving, but the motorcyclist could not and was thrown off his bike.
In an email to Stomp, the contributor of the video said the young cyclist "narrowly avoided impact with the Comfort Taxi but he hit a slow moving motorcycle on the other side of the road".
"Luckily it was not serious and everyone was safe." The netizen also cautioned young cyclists and told them to be safe and not sorry.
In a separate incident, a man was caught on camera cycling diagonally across a crowded junction. Fortunately, he managed to manoeuvre his way through it without colliding with other vehicles.
The netizen who sent in the video questioned the way the cyclist crossed the junction and said that he could have caused an accident.
These two incidents come as cyclist safety on the roads is highlighted after the death of cyclist Freddy Khoo. Mr Khoo was cycling along Loyang Avenue when a lorry collided into him.
He was severely injured, and was later pronounced dead in Changi General Hospital. His death has ignited fresh efforts from MPs and the cycling community to lobby for road safety.
