depends on how alert is the rider, if u are experience enough, shouldn't be an issue. i ride for more than 7 years edi. never been knock by a car before, reason being i horn them when i feel they wanna change lane... need to alert others because bikers need to know that cars have blind spot, don't care whether they wanna change lane or not, horn 1st. if the driver beh song, he only can horn back. he won't knock u down purposely 1. that can safe u from a lot of accident.
last week there is a case at TPE, today another case as well. but i think is those bikers ride too fast between cars and the car suddenly change lane knock them down 1. that's why i say back to my 1st point, horn the cars when u see there is movement on their wheel. horn them as well if they stick too near to the middle lane. coz if a fight really break out, no worries, u sure win coz if the car driver really dare to come and whack u, the bikers behind u definitely go and bash them gao gao... bikers are very unite in another words doesn't car what race u are.... real 1 Malaysia spirit.....

there was a case at causeway, a car trying to slit through a group of bikes, there is this 1 bike blocking the car lane, the car horn him and the bike doesn't give a damn, the driver go bang him and slowly push him to move, the biker gone and and knock his glass (not smash, just knock and scold him apa mau? wan fight come out...) when all the other bike behind start banging that fellow's car until he don't dare to come out. that's how unite we are even its the bikers fault to block the car lane.
1 day, i think more than 50k bikes entering and only that few accident. not to mention the bike that got into accident might be a Singaporean with a Singapore bike. so not a big deal as long as you are careful enough.

I know you ride bike.
Few case over 50k vs rare case over 100k bus passenger. It is simply math, whether you kiasi or not.
Given the number of cases on one hand then stated that it is low risk is plain lying to the unknowing newbies. My ex-supervisor die on 2link leaving behind young wife and children. Tell the widow bike is safe but is just bad luck?
Whatever you say, I wish all have safe journey. But when shit happen, the one who give wrong advice will get it.
Face it, biker takes higher Risk for cheaper transport cost. In life when there is no other option then ride the bike safely. When there are safer options available, I will never advise people with dependant to ride bike in out sg on daily basis. << that's my message.
If you are single and no dependent, you are free to take what ever risk you like.
