A 25 year-old van driver rammed into 9 motorcycles along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) yesterday, causing the deaths of 2 motorcyclists and injuring 6 more. The 2 deceased motorcyclists, aged 34 and 50, died on the scene. The rest were taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

My name is Reggie and I want to address this unfairness in social media. These days everyone is complaining about rich drivers driving against traffic, but to me the biggest culprit is not us car owners. It is motorcyclists.

Singapore has 144,934 registered motorcycles in 2013. This number is rising despite the cost of COE. The increased costs to ride can be overlooked as riders get to enjoy the breeze, convenience and the occasional hot chicks wrapped behind their backs.

Motorcyclists will have to pay per-minute for parking starting July 1 at all Housing and Development Board (HDB) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) car parks which have the Electronic Parking System (EPS), the agencies said on Monday (June 30). Currently, motorcyclists have to pay a flat S$0.65 parking fee each time they enter a car park, regardless of the actual parking duration. Parking charges at non-EPS car parks will remain unchanged.
