New Video Shows Cyclist Violently Confronting Driver After Incident While Lorry Driver is Calm

Yesterday, everyone in the coffeeshop was talking about a cyclist.

No, not someone from Tour de France who’s just broken a world record.

But this cyclist who decided that he has bought a road.

A Recap of what Happened

If you’re not one of the 1.8 million people who have seen the video, here’s a recap in a paragraph and three gifs.

Cyclist rode on the centre of a lane and lorry driver honked him twice. When the lorry driver tried to overtake, the cyclist smashed the lorry’s side mirror with his hand. Lorry then knocked down the cyclist who stood up immediately, though it’s not certain if the lorry driver had panicked and lost control or he did it deliberately.

Just moments ago, the trusty ROADS.sg Facebook Page obtained another video, this time filmed after the incident from someone presumably from a building.

Aftermath of Accident

If you’ve noticed, the cyclist who was knocked down jumped to his feet immediately. According to reports, the rowdy cyclist refused to be taken to the hospital, while the lorry driver drove off when the authorities arrived. The police are now investigating the “accident”.

It turns out that before the authorities arrived, there was an intense (almost violent) altercation, and the cyclist wasn’t happy.

Here’s what he did.

Yeah, the lorry driver was calmly filming him when he grabbed the driver’s phone away.

Now, how do we confirm that it’s the same cyclist and not his friend?

Simple: look at the colours of the helmet.

His is black while his friend’s helmet is white.

You can watch the whole video dubbed with a song here:

Mistaken Identify

Lest you’re not aware, an innocent party has been CSI-ed, and his company has to issue a statement to state that he’s not the one in the video.

Now that it’s clear that the lorry driver has taken a video (hopefully is a video and not a photo) of the rowdy cyclist, I guess it’s safe to say that should he release the video, there’ll be no need for any CSI.

And let’s face it: we’ll all curious about what he’s said, right?
