for this kind of scenario, the cyclist (1) should not keep extreme left, he should just occupy the whole lane, car in front and back can see you easier. if needed to turn, signal.
as you can see in the video, because the cyclist was on the extreme left, this (2) give motorist a chance to cut you in. the driver also thought you are going to turn left.
the cyclist should stop, look back before going straight.
You think drivers are so f**king free to watch out not just for other cars, motorists, jaywalkers and NOW even cyclists, electric-bikers and a lot other ****?? These cyclist s(I'm referring to those irresponsible ones) think they own the road, pay road taxes?? WTH.

Singapore Laws on Cycling
Who wouldn't be angry after almost getting knocked down by a car?
I know i would.
Yes, cyclists pay road taxes too. We all do, even those who don't own a car. Or have you been smoking the nonsense in HWZ EDMW too much?
Following your link, the cyclist obeyed the laws.
I think he's talking about this?

Of course it's debatable whether funding of road-related works/upgrading comes from the general tax pool. For that, you'd have to ask the authorities involved.
it goes for this new video.
from the second video, at first he was deemed to have broken the law by road-hogging, until the cyclist confirmed that the driver who filmed it was harassing him by constantly honking the horn at him. why is honking the horn incessantly against the law? because it's deemed as road bullying and harassment. honking the horn constantly will distract other drivers and road users.
as for Wakaowalao, please go review your driving test and ask yourself if the way the two drivers behaved was taught in the driving school.
I think Foxshade's point is that you have a lot of choices when you experience anger after almost getting knocked down by a car.
Anger is not an excuse for doing silly things like becoming He-Man or Hulk and banging angrily on people's car door. Two wrongs do not make a right. Or are you advocating that it's perfectly ok to drag the driver out and beat him up for almost knocking you down, because you're "angry"?
it's only human to get angry. he lost his cool and hurled vulgarities, that's a given. and it's wrong for him to lose his temper.
i'm saying that at the split second, one might lose control. i'm not advocating that he beat up the driver, and neither did i say that it'll be right to. so don't put words in my mouth. ok, sempai?
he might have lost his cool at the moment, and almost getting into an accident probably triggered it. i'm not condoning it, but i'm just mentioning that it is a side-effect
Yes, and definitely more wrong for him to taunt the driver after that.
In any case the world will be a better place if we all just try to understand each other and give each other some space. For the Vivocity case I think the cyclist was clearly in the wrong. So the car should not have continuously horned him (as claimed by said cyclist) but there is no need for him to insist that he is right and taunt the car driver.
I don't know if anyone remembers this case, but I remember it because I thought it was a relatively sad way to go.

So what if the motorist at Vivocity had just experienced a fit of rage that Keneth can definitely understand? And just happily rammed into him? So the motorist would have gone to jail, Keneth would have died, is it all worth it?
How was he clearly in the wrong? He was on the left side of the outer turning lane, which is where he should be.
Well, I can only find a claimed email response from LTA on this. That said, I don't recall seeing any clarification on LTA on this, so it's likely to be genuine.It does! Though usually all the people with cars think they own the roads and only they pay taxes to support the road maintenance.
He should not be on the left side of the outer turning lane.
