The TVB program "Looking Around" reported last night that there was a bicycle accident black spot on Tuk Ting Kok Road in Damei, saying that many cyclists did not stop at the crossing and easily collided with vehicles leaving Ting Kok Road from the village road. Among them were cars. The cam clip saw that a bicycle hit a private car that was driving out. A cycling instructor agreed that this is a black spot, because the cycling track is dark and the grass next to it also creates a blind spot.

Last night (August 27th), "Looking Around" reported that they received a car cam clip provided by the audience. When a private car drove out of Ting Kok Road from the road in Longwei Village, a bicycle drove from the cycling track and hit the private car. Fortunately, neither side is in serious trouble.

In the program, Zhang Guohua, a resident representative of Longwei Village, said that an accident occurs at this intersection every two weeks, and the holiday is even more risky. He said: "Many people from outside come in and ride their bicycles. They may not be familiar with the surrounding traffic. They don't know that there will be private cars coming out of this intersection. They usually go straight through, rush straight over, and never stop. under."

A driver interviewed said that he had collided with a bicycle. He said: "There are many accidents here from time to time. I have tried it myself. As soon as I drove out, a bicycle rushed over and hit the front of my car and stepped on the bicycle. He was thrown out. Fortunately, he was fine.” Another driver interviewed also said, “When I wanted to get out of the car, he stepped on quickly. I thought he would stop, but he wouldn’t stop. Fortunately, the brakes were braked in time and no accident occurred."

Cycling coach Wen Xianshun believes that this location from Longwei Village to Tingjiao Road is one of the most dangerous intersections. He said that the bicycle track was dark and sloping, and that it was a straight road before, and it was easy for cyclists to step on it quickly; he also mentioned that the grass next to it blocked the view and created a blind spot.

Longwei Village Chief Zhang Guohua also agreed that the sight of the intersection was blocked. When the driver drove out of the village road, he couldn't see the bicycle coming from the right. He said, "It's mainly the grass on the right. You can't see the bicycle coming from there." He has asked the government to prune.

Although there were notices at the intersections requiring "cyclists to get off", during the interview of "Looking Around", it was discovered that almost no bicycles stopped, and some were very fast. A cyclist interviewed said: "The strongest should let the weakest. Now it’s the opposite. The weak let the strong. You see that all the cycling trails have to be stopped or given way. The responsibility is placed on the bicycle, and the bicycle should be given priority. Pedestrians and bicycles should be given priority, and private cars must be reserved for bicycles and people."

Cycling coach Wen Xianshun suggested that cyclists should slow down in front of the intersection. When there are no other bicycles behind, park on the side, get off the bike and cross the intersection.
