Yamaha TDM 900

Plans are underway to amend the motorcycle class 2B license training course, which will require riders to undergo familiarisation training on expressways.

 

The current practice sees learners undergoing simulated training in driving centre circuits, and short routes outside these circuits.

 

Senior Minister of State Ho Peng Kee hopes the new initiative will reduce the high number of motorcyclist and pillion rider fatalities.

 

‘New riders will get a better sense of what it takes to ride on their own when they pass on our expressways, giving them greater confidence and hopefully reducing the chances of an accident occurring,’ said Mr Ho.

 

Some riders Yahoo! Singapore spoke to are also supportive of the new initiative.

 

“It’s really good for the new riders as they will know the danger zones on different expressways and it will better prepare them,” said Syed Ismail, 32, a civil servant who has been riding for five years.

 

Another rider, Goh K.P., 28, a designer, felt that the course will be helpful but felt more should be done to educate motorists to give way to riders on the road.

 

He said, “There are times where motorists don’t keep in their lanes and this certainly endangers riders as they try to cut us out of the lane.”

 

According to statistics from the Traffic Police, riders formed the most vulnerable group among road users, accounting for 91 out of 188 deaths last year.

 

In the first quarter of this year, riders accounted for 23 out of 50 deaths.

Check out the comments posted in the web page!

 

I noticed that the report does not state "cause of accident" and "nature of accident"...

 

Yeah - there should be more efforts to step up to educate motorcar / taxi drivers to drive more considerately!

[angelo9876]

I'm trying to organise an initiative to take care of just this problem. Being aware of a problem is not a cure for the problem. To take care of the problem, to avoid the results: ie DEATH! we need to solve the problem at the root, and that is the ignorant inconsiderate motorist, taxi or otherwise.

 

Still got some planning to do, and some intel to gather, but will sure let you guys know when all is under way as I'm sure you all, and SBF in general will back my proposal to the relevant authorities.

 

Stay safe....

Hi Kmax,

 

May I presume that tomorrow's WCup viewing venue is firm? Asking as you are the organizer.

 

Hi Divinecreations,

Do we go in by the Yuk Tong Ave road?

There is actually parking within the compound, right? And if it is full, bikes park at pavement?

Will seats and table be reserved for us? Asking so as to know what to expect. Tks

Nope Go in by Cheong Chin Nam Road, the whole row of food shops prata curry etc run alongside Upper bukit timah.Turn in once you see a Big Mushroom signboard

 

Tables are reserved for 12pax, parking wise the manager is confident can squeeze but he hasn't quite seen how diehard Tdmers are over eqpping their side panniers and how huge TDMs are(&their riders:angel:), I'm estimating only 5bikes can squeeze in the porch. The Rest have to park on the pavement. I was hoping that the Boss and manager can use theirs cars to reserve two car lots infront but they mentioned the Traffic warden quite ON. BUT Hopefully will close one eye when he sees that this is a bike outing.

 

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused in case parking is a problem. I will get the management to move their plants pots etc
