I'm pretty upset about the incident that had recently happened to me.

I was riding from a filter lane to a small road that is connected to an expressway, and had noticed a mini bus a distance away (from 5 to 7 car length) from the dotted line that I was on, thus I turned and shortly after, the bus banged my motorcycle and I fell to the ground.

That bus driver told me he was speeding and when I ask him why he is speeding, he replied, saying who wouldn't speed in a small straight road. He ask me not to call  the police or an ambulance since I'm not seriously hurt and throw $30 to me on the ground and ask me to see a doctor. This is ridiculous.

What is more ridiculous is that when I went for the interview before the verdict is out, the senior Investigating Officer who is in charge of my case told me I’m liable for the accident. He said no matter what it is, the person coming out from the filter lane will always be at fault even if he is being knocked down by an oncoming vehicle from the main road.

He said speeding is not an issue for my case and the driver is not at fault, even if he was speeding at 80 - 90 km/hr and knocked me down, though the speed limit is 50km/hr. So when I ask him if I switched role with the bus driver, I'll be off the hook isn't it. HE SAID NO! Because I’m speeding!

Is this discrimination to female riders? So if I’m the bus driver I'll be at fault but if the bus driver is speeding, he is not at fault because he is a guy?

It takes two hands to clap, isn't it? I admit I was at fault too, but with the driver admitting to speeding to the witness, my fiancé and me, isn't it counted as a verbal statement too? Moreover, as the witness is someone whom I’ve met before, the Investigating Officer said that he can't be my witness since we’ve seen each other before, as he lived in the same block as my fiancé? This is ridiculous! What if I died from the accident? There won't be any witness because he was the only one who witnesses it.

The police said unless I died from the accident, speeding will then become an issue. So do I count myself as lucky or unlucky? Lucky that I’m not dead but unlucky because I had to pay for the fine and medical bill and the bus driver can just get away scot-free though he did SPEED?! The Investigating Officer even told me they need a speed meter to justify that the driver had speed in order to prove he is at fault too.

Is this law? Or personal discrimination to bikers especially FEMALE riders?

I can't help but to keep thinking that he had something against riders especially a female one as he did not seem to take me seriously during the interview. He did not put down important notes that I told him like "the driver admitted to the three of us that he was speeding because it is a small and straight road, and he was late for work" but he wrote “the driver gave me $30 dollars to see a doctor". When I questioned him about it, he said he just want a short and sweet report.

The conclusion that I gather are:

1) A person whom you’ve seen before cannot be a witness, though you may not know him or her.

2) Female riders are always at the losing end.

3) Those drivers coming out from the filter lane are always at the losing end even if the drivers from the main road driver speed and knock down drivers coming from filter lanes.

4) We can speed and get away scot-free if we hit someone from the back unless that person died from the accident.
