The traffic light was red at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">However, as he starts to pedal, the man finds himself in an awkward position, as the traffic light on the opposite side of the road turns green.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-lg md:my-xl\">\n<p><hr class=\"flex-1 border-grayscale-100 lg:hidden\"\/><span class=\"text-grayscale-400 text-14 leading-16 font-primary text-center lg:text-left p-sm\">Scroll to continue reading<\/span><\/p>\n<hr class=\"flex-1 border-grayscale-100 my-md\"\/>\n<hr class=\"my-md border-grayscale-100\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Seemingly trying to avoid cars in the opposite direction that were turning right, the elderly man veers to his right, ending up on the opposite side of the road, where traffic is travelling in the other direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Sensing the precarious situation he is in, the man tries to manoeuvre himself to the other side of the road, but is unable to do so given the heavy flow of traffic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">He finally gets to the other side of the road when one of the vehicles stops and gives way to him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">An in-screen caption says. \u201cUncle be like: \u2018Red light does not apply to me.\u201d Followed by, \u201cI am king of the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/player\/v1\/7704877785247993109?music_info=1&amp;description=1\" title=\"TikTok video\" width=\"325\" height=\"578\" style=\"border:none;max-width:100%\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">It is unclear when the incident was recorded.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"lg:text-28 lg:leading-33.6px pt-md font-primary text-24 font-bold leading-1.2\">Netizens taken aback by cyclist\u2019s behaviour<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-primary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The post made has since garnered 67,000 views, 2,900 reactions, and 130 comments.
