Cyclist Collides with Car in Malaysia, Driver Seen Driving Off After Exclaiming “Another One, KNN!”
A cyclist believed to be riding at high speed was involved in an accident in Malaysia after crashing into a car, leading to a heated online debate about cycling safety on public roads. A video of the incident quickly went viral on Facebook, showing the cyclist falling dramatically after hitting the rear of a moving vehicle.
According to eyewitnesses and dashcam footage circulating online, the accident occurred on a busy road where several cyclists were riding together, reportedly side by side. As the car slowed down, one cyclist failed to brake in time and slammed into the vehicle, causing him to flip over his handlebars and land on the tarmac.
In a widely shared clip, the driver drove off and ignore the wannabe. The video has sparked widespread outrage and fierce debate among road users about the responsibilities of both cyclists and motorists.
Viral Video Sparks Heated Debate Over Cycling Safety
The video attracted thousands of comments, with many users criticising cyclists for riding in large groups on busy roads without adhering to traffic rules. Some pointed out that riding two or three abreast can endanger both themselves and other motorists, especially when cycling at high speeds on roads not designed for shared use.
Others, however, condemned the driver’s apparent lack of concern for the cyclist’s condition after the crash, arguing that regardless of who was at fault, a driver should check on anyone involved in an accident. Several commenters suggested that authorities implement clearer guidelines for cyclists on public roads to prevent similar incidents.
Netizens were divided, with some saying cyclists often behave like they “own the road”, while others called for mutual respect between drivers and cyclists. The incident has reignited discussions on whether stricter regulations or dedicated cycling lanes should be established to reduce conflicts and improve road safety.
Calls for Greater Awareness and Responsibility
Malaysian road safety advocates are reminding all road users to exercise caution, patience, and courtesy, emphasising that “life is more precious than any hobby.” Cycling enthusiasts are urged to plan safer routes, avoid high-traffic areas, and ride in single file when necessary to protect themselves and others.
No official statement from local authorities has been issued regarding investigations into the incident at the time of writing. It remains unclear if the cyclist sustained serious injuries.
