Intelligence, Common Sense and Education are not always mutually inclusive. A Bachelor's degree these days is like a Diploma 20 years back.

It is a HORRIFYING title from the threadstarter........Is the threadstarter a sub-human whom happened to be able to achieve Human abilities in reading and writing?

Each life is precious and MEANS SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ANOTHER, even if the other is a stranger....We are a Civilization and no longer live in caves or jungles.

It is comprehensible that drivers, whom had paid high premiums for their cars, OR driving trucks where every minute is another minute to earn an extra dollar, would DEMAND SELFISHLY that they OWN the roads, in our already small land, BUT we Humanity NEED NOT resort to KILLING fellow Humans sharing our roads.

Do KNOW, cyclists and pedestrians TOO pay taxes in many other forms to use OUR roads, such as GST, income taxes, work to bring in REVENUES to our shared treasury, etc, etc, to uplift others lives in social expenditures such as med care, education, security, infrastructure, etc.

The bicycle no doubt is a mechanical device, but is INCOMPARABLE to an ICE, Hybrid or EV vehicle with SAFETLY mechanisms built in as well as safety distances, etc, that one HAVE to observed in order to get a driving license. Thus, the FAULT WILL lay with the driver of such advanced vehicles than a bicycle or pedestrian should harm and hurt happens.

The insignificant nobody me drives and often met with obnoxious cyclists, would rage, but learnt since as a kid to ALWAYS keep cool. One's time, while presumed precious WOULD NEVER JUSTIFY THE HARMING AND HURT TO OTHERS.

In reality, it takes only a FEW seconds to filter to another lane, after observing the traffic flow even if heavy, with SIGNAL lights on, and a wave of hand, and to thank other drivers whom would slow down to allow one to overtake safely, to avoid the slow mechanical device of a bicycle....

Our Elected govt had done what we could - special days such as weekends when our busy port city would have less traffic on the roads, and even created safe cycle paths for cyclist to conduct their necessary health exercises in peace and safety, but even such paths would cross with busy traffic too, as our country is just too small.

All it takes is just a little consideration for OTHERS sharing our limited roads, by BOTH cyclists and motorists....... each life is precious and means something special to another....condolences to the victims' families of murderous road rage......

Anyone who lives in Pasir Ris can tell you that weekends are sleep-in days for drivers. Large group of riders in the morning with larger than 10 riders at a go.

It is safer to ride alone. Save time and at your own pace. No need to wait for congregation.. And no idle chat. Straight to the business.
