The dashcam driver reacts quickly, slamming on their brakes to avoid the motorcycle.
Unfortunately, a Toyota travelling on the first lane was unable to take evasive action.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) provided a list of road safety tips for motorcyclists when travelling on the road.
Riders are urged to keep a safe following distance from other vehicles and signal early to alert other road users when turning or changing lanes.
Motorcyclists are also told to practice defensive riding and to avoid weaving in and out of traffic.
