  I go Tuas Ave 2 almost everyday ..... i've seen many M'sia motor biker accident and pronounced dead on the spot many times for the last 5 years .
  
  It's not all cabby fault , nor Frenchman's fault , partly has to do with the traffic junction design .
  
  There are many traffic junctions , non-traffic light control .
  
  Many accidents occurs cos victims most are speeding .... dashing through "dangerous junctions" ....
  
  The worst those juctions "STOP" lines , the paintwork faded off ...... u hardly will know there's a "STOP" line ahead .....
  
  U speed , dash ..... the taxi from the side road came , bang !!!!!

  But remember some bikers also possess other type of vehicles licese.Obviously they know the rules and regulation.I'm sad to say this Poolman only a few cabbies are really considerate,Others are just plain selfish and reckless.Malaysian Motorbikers are just gone cases one.From my observation most Singaporean road users are arrogant,Selfish and inconsiderate.Even my expats friends agreed,Be it Motorcyclists,Cabbies,Bus Drivers,Car,Lorry,Van drivers including me also.

  No , insurance will deal with it .
  
  If it's cabbies' fault , can the cabby has to face the consequence .
  
  Taxi company is protected from legal suit .
  
  That's why Insurance is a must for all motor vehicles .
