Mai Tu Liow give that scrumbug trash tongkat ali so that he go meet his grandfather fasterer
The major cause of road deaths in Singapore are not cyclists treating the road as if it was their grandfather's.
The major cause is the grandfathers and grandmothers themselves.
Rather than target cyclists the authorities should be banning old farts and fartetts from the roads in order to bring down the road toll.
These blind, deaf and doddery senior citizens should be locked up in old folks' homes and only allowed out on a leash.
As you can see from the report below cyclists did not figure in the statistics at all.
Banning the sale of alcohol will help a lot too. Drink driving causes far more carnage than any cyclist ever will.
