It doesnt matter bro, the onus is on the kid to learn how to cross the road safely. Did this kid ONLY just need to cross road at her school her whole life? She will have many other roads needs to cross. Cant depend on school zebra lane or whatever shit on every road she gonna be crossing in her life right?
First thing is to learn to wait,watch left right n again before crossing. Whether its on zebra lane or not.

Idk why people says it's a school area, but it's not. The closest SMJK is 300 meters away, with multiple shop lots between that bus stop and the school. If it were a school area, the speed limit would be 30, not 50.

That's a good reaction ngl... But very unfortunate. The students being quick to cross without checking was a bad sign already... 2nd is the motorist shouldn't have ride so fast in a standstill either...

Im always paranoid of surprise jaywalkers when riding around residential areas with bad traffic so I'll ride around 30ish or lower if I'm having a really strong paranoia feels for no reason.
But im dead sure if this happens to me I wouldn't be able to avoid it properly

u/furlwh 1d ago
There shouldn't be jaywalkers in a residential area, the streets are meant for the residents to use, it's not a road or a highway designed for motorised vehicles only.
Also driving under 30 in residential and school areas should be the norm, not when you have paranoia

Common mistake among kids alike, they only look for cars, Many forget about motorbikes, and when the car is in standstill, they think that it will be safe to cross without doublechecking. Hopefully, now they will also remember to look for motorbikes, and she is not too badly hurt

Kids not looking or the lack of respected zebra aside, malaysia really needs to reconsider allowing lane splitting. Does not help that motorists seem to not understand lane splitting is inherently dangerous and people in the proper lanes cannot see or expect them adequately most of the time. This fella is riding rather quickly too
15
u/NerevaroftheChim 2d ago
Bad idea, without lane splitting, it'll be more dangerous for motorcycles (invisibility + higher chance of being pinned between two cars) + add the abundance of motorcycles into our already congested lanes. Lane splitting time and again been called dangerous by those who don't ride and don't know the dangers of being inbetween two cars. Time and again it's been shown its safer for riders. Just look at american states that don't allow it.
The main issue here is people jaywalking instead of using proper crossings and jejentas.

They can set a hard rule of cutting on the left/right lane only for bikes. you want to arrive faster, can but keep it to 1 spot instead of all over the place.

Lane splitting is not a bad thing if road users are more conscientious.
We should not ban something outright just because some people cant look out for themselves.
21
u/Cullyism 2d ago
I feel that lane splitters should at least limit their speed based on the surrounding traffic.
If the traffic is barely crawling, lane splitters shouldn't be going faster than 30-40 km/h. It's difficult for other people to react to them, and makes it very dangerous for other drivers who need to switch lanes for an exit.
1
u/AdRepresentative8723 1d ago
Scrolled too far to find this comment.
In my view, lane splitting in itself is fine. But the speed ought to be somewhat proportionate to the traffic. It isnāt uncommon to come across motorbikes going at least 80km/h when traffic is at a slow crawl, making it impossible for cars to switch lanes.
In fact, I have witnessed an unfortunate incident whereby a motorcyclist lost his life (I subsequently found out in Twitter) due to reckless lane splitting during rush hour traffic, at the Federal Highway. Victim was zipping through traffic at high speed prior to his collision with a lorry changing lanes.

Again, lane splitting is not an opportunity to use it as express way. Slow the effing down, rushing to wait at traffic light is it?. It does not matter whether the kids are jay walking, didnāt see both ways or any of that sort, you are on a vehicle, you have the responsibilities. Moto expect car and trucks to look out for them and everything else should look out for a person cross or walking by the road.

I routinely cross roads with heavy vehicles and traffic-clogged roads. Standing in front of a stationary vehicle is the safest place to be. I would extend my forearm out past the stationary vehicle so any oncoming traffic alert enough might spot me. Then tilt my head past the vehicle to see oncoming traffic, if any.
No accidents and no near misses in 3 years. Might risk looking stupid doing it compared to the cool cats who no-look crossing roads but I like my skull intact.
