Bear a thought for the life of motorcylist

What has happened to road safety in Singapore today?

It is sad to read of the father and daughter on motorcycle, died in accident last Saturday.

Is there attitude problem in driving or has more drivers been having poor judgement on the road?

It is sickening to know that there are some motorists who simply should not be driving at all.

1. Motorist today has poor lane discipline, resulting in many not keeping safety distance between cars.

2. There are many who imagine they are grand prix driver tailing even a car that is moving on at 90km/h.

3. In merging lane condition, such motorist must be ahead.

4. Motorist when tailing behind motorcyclist, will not bother about the speedometer, until they overtook motorcyclist.

5. Motorist who cannot even allow motorcylist riding on lane 4 (extreme left lane) of highway and attempt to over take by the left, squeezing between road shoulder and lane 4 of motorcylist.

.....etc.

There are many other scenarios. In wet weather condition, motorcyclist is even more exposed.

Please be patience and bear a thought for motorcyclist.

Give motorcyclist space to manoeuvre.

Treat that motorcyclist as one of your friend or even your relative.

Insurance will pay for the mistake of a driver,but it will never bring back the life of victim and the lost to their family.

Let's please drive with loving kindness, bearing a thought for the family of each other.
