ROADS.sg alleged that the motorcycle was the same one involved in a viral incident along Sembawang Road on 5 June.
Dashcam footage of that accident, which had the timestamp of 6.51am, showed a motorcyclist cutting into the far-left lane next to another motorcyclist who was already travelling in that lane.
The two motorcyclists made contact, resulting in the rider who was originally in the lane falling to the right.

Amazingly, the rider managed to get on his feet almost immediately after falling onto the road.

However, his motorcycle swivelled further ahead and ended up lying on its side across both lanes.

The motorcycle that swerved into the lane disappears into the distance, allegedly failing to stop despite the accident.
Under Section 84 of the Road Traffic Act 1961, failing to stop one’s vehicle after an accident is an offence.
SPF said it was alerted to the accident at about 6.55am on 5 June.
It took place along Sembawang Road in the direction of Upper Thomson Road.
A 28-year-old male motorcyclist was sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in a conscious state.
Police investigations are ongoing.
ROADS.sg said in the caption of the 8 June post that some might feel that the motorcycle’s owner “deserved” to have his vehicle pelted with eggs.
However, it reminded netizens that vandalism is a criminal offence in Singapore, adding:
No matter how strongly we feel about an incident, taking matters into our own hands is rarely the right answer.
Thus, it urged the public to leave the investigations and enforcement to the authorities.
