These 2 boys are too young to be blamed even if they were in the
wrong.
However cyclists especially those in cycling groups or 'racers
or riders' whatever you term them, they are a major road
hazard.
Don't mistake me, they have a right to ride on the road and be
given space. The problem starts when they can't decide whether to
be cyclists or pedestrians?
How often do you see them cycling and then at a red light use
the pedestrian crossing to get out infront?
How many times do you see them riding alongside 1 another?
How many times have you seen them beat a red light or try to
squeeze in between buses or vehicles like motor-cycles?
How many times have you seen them try to overtake a stationary
bus at a bus stop or vehicle on the right, instead of waiting?
How many times have you seen them ride fast around corners bends
and uneven roads like those on Bt Timah and Upp Bt Timah?
If cyclists at large don't want to be safety conscious and think
they are made of metal, these kind of accidents will always
occur.
But for young children, there's no excuse, drivers must always
be conscious of them and their tendency to dash. Dead slow at
junctions is now a must for all drivers
