Singapore recorded an increase in road traffic accidents and casualties in the first half of the year, continuing an upward trend from the previous period. Official statistics indicate a rise in both injury-related collisions and fatalities across the island. Vulnerable road users, specifically motorcyclists and elderly pedestrians, continue to account for a disproportionate number of casualties. Law enforcement authorities have reiterated the need for heightened vigilance, citing speeding and red-light violations as leading causes of these traffic incidents.
- Traffic accidents resulting in injuries and fatalities saw a measurable increase during the mid-year assessment period.
- Motorcyclists, pillion riders, and elderly pedestrians remain the most vulnerable groups on Singapore roads.
- Speeding violations and failure to obey red-light signals persist as significant contributors to serious road collisions.
- Authorities are continuing targeted enforcement operations alongside community education efforts to improve road discipline.

1:48 You can teach the theory, but you can’t download the instinct which only comes with real world exposure and experience.
The problem on two wheels is getting that road sense is through trial and error which leaves zero margin for mistakes.
Learn the defensive rules first, then build the instinct.
1. Pattern Recognition, like vehicle body language. Look out for high risk cars such as BMW, Merc, Audi and GetGo cars.
2. Space Cushioning and Escape Routes, braking distance and tailgating, stay visible in side mirrors, avoiding truck blind spots, and always ride in a "staggered lane".
3. Junction Management, ease of throttle at red light or any uncontrolled junction.

Basically singaporeans are bad at driving
Its not a matter of instinct, experience or skills. Its the mindset. The motorcyclists do not practice defensive driving. They expect other drivers to give way and avoid collision with them. They also don't know they are in blind spots of other drivers. When they speed and switch lanes between cars it is very difficult for other drivers to predict their movement. Police should should take action on these motor cyclists.
It is due the JHK pests from JB …… start getting tough on them.
They can't be bothered. Only dollars and cents they are interested. 😅😅😅
And how many of those motorcyclist involve Malaysian bikers? This is not racist or bias. I am a motorcyclist of 15 years and the way Malaysian bikers rode on our road are a danger both to them and other roads users. I can understand that they had already spend too much time on the road travelling to work here. But it is ALWAYS tragic to see them falling to accidents mainly due to speed and lack of safety awareness. As proven by the occasional checks by authorities, some are even without relevant motorcycle license! More enforcement are needed at the checkpoints, those with multiple speeding and traffic offences should be caught when they cross into Singapore. For their safety and ours.
See what it means when the government own self said racial in harmony, different religions in harmony and different nation people from all over the world all live in harmony in Singapore, this is no meaning at all.
Then LTA and government do something Abt it.

MoT, MoHA Traffic police has to take lead on this.
