Accident @ AYE towards Jurong

[effina]

I witnessed an accident right in front of my eyes at the above-mentioned just now around 10:15pm.

 

I was driving my car with my fiancee on the 3rd lane and I happened to be looking to my right at this Fireblade riding behind the left rear of a car on the 1st lane when suddenly, his bike fish-tailed to the left and he was trying to control and in like a blink of an eye, I saw him flew over the bike, rolled and hit several vertical railings of the central divider.

 

Gez his speed? I was going at 70+km/h and he was a lil' faster. He was going around 80+km/h. U can imagine, he was flying faster than I was driving my car..

 

I felt the need to stop but I was blocked by cars all around. Ironically, the car travelling behind him was quick to react and stopped in time instead of hitting his already scrapped & sparkling bike..

 

My fiancee turned around and saw that he didn't got up. When he hit the last railing, I saw that he was clutching his helmet. And guess what was he wearing? A raincoat with bermudas and sandals or slippers, I think.. He was a Chinese around 1.75m - 1.8m tall.

 

My past experience with my old RXZ when I fishtailed @ 90km/h on a wet road along AYE just past Alexandra due to an irresponsible car tells me that he had accidentally stepped a lil' too hard on his rear brake.

 

My advice to smaller riders out there..

1) When it rains, use the left most lane.

2) Make sure U wear pants and long-sleeved. Better still, jackets or anything..

3) Make sure all ur lights are working..

4) Ride F*****g slow..

5) To those that just passed ur licence and rides those X1, Spark-Z, Wave, 125Z; please don't ACT as if you own the road and BLOODY skillful cause for all you know, you could be blowing an experienced rider Class 2 or WORST still, blowing at a TP/ROV whom is riding an RXZ.

 

We don't need your skills on the road. Thanks eh!

 

To my fellow cruisers.. ride safe. It's the monsoon season..

hope the rider its ok.... to all riderss pls ride safely... its raining season. peace....

had my own experience of fish tailing. gotta hope it don't come again. anyway, tyres have a part to play. we have to stick to the ones we believe in. Do not ever change poorer ones just for the sake of 50 or 100 bucks which compares to life is nothing.

pls do a new year check on ur bike before embarking on the new year.....

 

tyres, brakes, signal, chain, EO....etc....

Ride Safe

4) Ride F*****g slow..

 

This may not always be true, except on raining days that is.

Cos if you are too slow on normal dry days, you may become a hazard to people going fast...so, best to stay in the mid-speed range of the traffic.

 

And this shd apply to all riders, not just 2b bikers...

 

Ride safe, and if it's too heavy, dun ride, cos the water splashed from the vehicle infront can cause you to buang also. My car skidded and was blinded when the car infront splashed a tsunami at me on the ecp...if I was riding at that time, confirm down and out...phew!!!

 

Watchout for the water pools along the roads.

 

Cheers!
