Female motorcyclist forced to kneel after accident

A series of photos showing an accident scene have gone viral on Chinese internet forums and microblogs. The pictures showed a female motorcyclist kneeling by the road with a man, supposedly a traffic police officer looking over her. On the ground besides her was a motorcycle. According to forum users, the female motorcyclist allegedly rear-ended the car. Even though there was not much visible damage to the car, the occupants in the car forced the motorcyclist to kneel and apologise. Internet users in Chinese forums wereoutraged and called for the occupants to be identified and shamed. One user thought it was embarassing that the occupants were making a fuss over a Zhonghua saloon, a China-made car. The user added: 'If it was a BMW, would the driver slaughter the motorcyclist? On Chinese microblog Tencent Weibo, one user remarked that both the parties involved were at fault: The car's occupants for thinking that they have the right of way on the road and the motorcyclist for having no self-respect. Others were less philosophical and promptly dug up the man's identification number and occupation, demanding for his resignation. Earlier this year, The New Paper reported that a female driver had also knelt down to beg to be let off the hook after her car was clamped for unauthorised parking. The woman had refused to pay the $100 fee for her car to be unclamped. The incident took place in a private carpark at Joo Chiat Road.
