hi, bros, I am from Temesek Junior College and me and my group are interested in conducting a pilot test with u guys for our project. Our project is about conflict between cyclists and taxi drivers which might arise.
From our research, due to the rapid economic development of Singapore, the car population has been increasing rapidly. However, due to land constraint, Singapore cannot construct enough roads to accommodate all these cars. On the other hand, “As the bicycle population increases in Singapore,” there are an increasing number of vulnerable road cyclists who have legal rights to share the road with car drivers. This increase in car density of the road imposes greater danger on road cyclists as more and more cyclists are involved in road accidents over the years and they were injured or even killed in the accidents . Besides limited road resources, the cause of conflict between drivers and cyclists involved reckless behaviour of cyclists and drivers , ignorance of traffic rules , miscommunication between cyclists and drivers and selfish mentality of the drivers . The conflicts between cyclists and car drivers have a lot of adverse effects, ranging from causing bad mood for both parties and quarrelling to serious injury and even death of cyclists. Now, the conflict between cyclists and drivers seems to be trivial and insignificant. However, as time goes, there is a tendency for this conflict to escalate as the number of accidents involved both cyclists and drivers increases. Hence, our group chooses to tackle this problem and resolve the conflict between the cyclists and car drivers.
Hence we are proposing an event which comprises of an exihibition and a role changing game at road safety park to help mediate the conficts between the two parties. we chose Love cycling because, of all the cycling organisations that we have seen on the internet, we have observed that it is this organisation thatseems to be the most active and enthusiastic about cycling. . Thus, we would like to speak to the head of lovecyclingSG and thus communicate with him over the details of the project. We hope to be able to collaborate with u guys on our pilot test and help make our project a successful one
