A social media post from a group of cyclists that is making the rounds alleges a bus driver tried to run the group off the road. The encounter at Bestari Jaya, Kuala Selangor, then took a bad turn when the driver stopped the bus to berate the cyclists for riding two abreast on the highway.
In the video, raised voices can be heard, with the cyclists shouting at the driver with fingers pointed and “in your face” posturing from the cyclists. The situation looked to turn ugly when a JPJ parol vehicle stopped to defuse the situation.
A comment from one of the cyclists says the group were riding “literally on the side of the road”. The cyclist further states they were riding on the left and the bus driver was honking at them and trying to get them to move off the road.
However, backlash from social media users did not take the point of view of the cyclists, saying they were earlier riding two abreast on a busy road and preventing vehicles behind from overtaking safely. Others said the cyclists were being a nuisance on what is typically a busy road usually filled with heavy vehicles in the morning.
What do you think? Are the cyclists right for wanting to use the road, or should cyclists try to not incovenience motorised traffic by riding two abreast? The law states cyclists should ride single file to the left of the road, and are not allowed on toll and gazetted highways. Leave a comment with your thoughts and opinions below.
