hi guys.
lately if u got watch any one of the three rtm channels u are bound
to come across advert on road safety focusing on taking care of
riders by drivers. they show statistics such as 2/3 of fatal bike
accidents caused by cars' negligence. cant remember the other
stats, but all showing that smaller portion of bike accidents are
actually due ti rider.
i been thinking s'pore shd start similar campaign. so far i see
they onli launch campaign focusing on riders, such as adding more
stuff to riding lessons in school.
granted, riders shd take more care. but i think its realli unfair
to go about as if riders are the onli ones at fault. they show
defensive riding video for RTT, shd oso show video wat not to do to
bikes on road. can oso advertise such stuff like m'sia.
basically i just feel road safety is responsibility of all, just
coz bike most number of road accidents not necessarily mean riders
are the ones only at fault. i think quite good they add more stuff
to riding lessons, but drivers shd play a role too. and if the
stats from the m'sian adverts are true, then drivers shdn't
complain that they must do more becoz of riders' problem, coz they
oso share blame and responsibilty. its not fair to penalize onli
the riders.
i end off by saying i not anti-driver, i onli feel this road safety
stuff is for all not just one party.
