A clip of a motorcyclist being rear-ended by a car while changing lanes has sparked a spirited online debate about who was at fault for the accident.
The clip, recorded by the rear-view camera of a vehicle in front of the car and motorcycle, was shared on Facebook page SGRV on Jan 7. The accident happened on the same day at 8.18am at Lavender Street, just after the Haji Kadir restaurant.
The rider of a Singapore-registered motorcycle can be seen easing into the third lane from the second of a four-lane road. He then moves slowly into the fourth lane and into the path of an oncoming car, which crashes into him.
The rider is then seen at the side of the road next to the kerb, attempting to get up while the car that hit him remains stationary a short distance behind him.
The video has so far received 370,000 views, 2,000 reactions and 768 comments.
