"Hello, There's Plenty of SPACE ..."

Just when you think female drivers are not as good, wait till you see female cyclists ....


I was driving home with Cherry after service on Sunday and was behind a car at the traffic light. The car in front was heading straight and I was turning left, but this couldn't happen until traffic was green. And so let there be green ... the car went its way and I to mine.

Here's a visual of what happened ...

#1 was my car, attempting to turn left as soon as traffic started moving. On my right was another lane with cars already moving off. #2 was this lady on a bicycle, on the road, heading in my direction, wobbling away. As a nice driver, I slowed down and waited for her to figure out her next move. Seriously, at that point, I could not tell if she was going to mount the pavement, or to keep cycling on the road against traffic or what !

As soon as I slowed down, guess what ? She said out loud "Hello, there's a lot of space lar ..." I mean hey, can you even see my blind spot at the right ? I can't since I was focused on an immediate obstacle. What if there was a bike zooming straight on beside me, if I had steered right a little just to make way for Ms Wobbly, I'd probably had send Superman flying off his bike across the road. And the fact I slowed down was to give way to her first.

At that point, she was like just at the front left corner of my car, close enough to give my car body an extreme makeover. Ask Cherry, she probably could've given the lady a hi-5 with her window wound down.

I think it's about time the Government started banning cyclists on the road, better yet, impose class XX licenses for these group of people who want to take their gear on the roads. They need road traffic education seriously ... no proper protection, no safety consideration to other road users and worse off ... she'd probably be banned for life for driving riding against traffic !
