The person who wrote this is definitely not a motorcyclist. Motorcyclists have always been riding safety and defensively, taking all safety precautionary measures and gears while riding. Why keep emphasising on motorcyclists when the root of the problem comes from drivers. Drivers are extremely reckless and aggressive for the past 8 years and conditions have been worsen recently. They give no regards to other road users such as motorcyclists and pedestrians. They have no empathy for the lives of others except for their selfish ego and mind-set. Common issues of drivers are using of mobile phones, driving in between 2 lanes, failure to keep within their lanes, frequently braking for absolute no reason, road hogging, having no knowledge of traffic laws and road courtesy. Drivers nowadays are holding their phones and even playing games on their phone while driving. Who is going to stop them and prevent them from continuing this bad habit? There are more people holding cameras on bridges rather than been on the road to stop inconsiderate motorists, ratio observed is 30:1. Exactly who are the authorities to uphold the rules & regulations of Singapore Roads as nobody seems to care about anything. https://facebook/MotoristAwareness So much videos compiled in here has proven how serious the road conditions in Singapore and the authorities dont even care much about anything. Much emphasis should have been on drivers instead of motorcyclists. Drivers should have a minimum Class 2B riding license before they can enrol for Class 3 driving license so they can be more defensive on the road as they have experienced the same situation that motorcyclists faced daily. Defensive driving theory test must be implemented in additional to the theory tests that students have to go through during their lessons when obtaining their driving license. transport.asiaone/news/general/story/more-bikers-dying-roads
