AA Singapore introduces the Busby\u00a0<\/em>Road Safety\u00a0<\/em>app and shares road safety tips on cycling.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"AA Singapore held a complimentary webinar on road safety tips for cyclists and launched the \u2018Stay Safe with FIA-AA & Busby\u2019 campaign on Saturday, 13 November 2021. More than 40 participants attended and participated in the webinar.<\/p>\n

Safety among cyclists has been an issue of global concern. It is revealed that in 2020, 556 cyclists and pillions were casualties of road accidents in Singapore, and 71% of accidents involving cyclists could be attributed to human error.<\/p>\n

\"\"Responsible sharing of the road network entails anticipating possible risk situations, reacting appropriately in hazardous situations, and adopting a non-aggressive, cautious style of riding on the part of cyclists. Cyclists need to be aware of the different types of hazards they can encounter.<\/p>\n

Research shows hazard perception training could account for an 11% reduction in collisions, potentially saving hundreds of lives every year. Common hazards include device defects such as faulty brakes, as well as potholes, stationary objects, vehicles approaching zebra crossing at high speeds, traffic junctions, vehicle door opening, and distractions.<\/p>\n

\"\"As such, cyclists are advised to practise \u2018SAR\u2019 when approaching road junctions, informal crossings, zebra crossings, pedestrian crossings, and building exits or entrances. The acronym stands for S<\/strong>LOW DOWN or stop, see and hear; A<\/strong>SSESS the situation, anticipate the worst; and R<\/strong>EACT to keep you safe.<\/p>\n

AA Singapore partnered the Federation Internationale de l\u2019Automobile (FIA) and cycling app developer Busby to launch a three-month \u2018Stay Safe with FIA-AA & Busby\u2019 campaign, which consists of bi-weekly challenges such as the \u20185KM Busby Challenge\u2019 and \u2018Bicycle Trail at Pulau Ubin\u2019. Participating users are required to record their ride while using the Busby<\/em>app and share their Busby experience and pledge on Facebook in order to stand a chance to win attractive prizes.The award-winning fitness safety app intelligently monitors outdoor fitness activities, such as cycling or running, and raises an alert if a user is unresponsive and requires immediate assistance.<\/p>\n

The app aims to make roads and trails safer for everyone, from cyclists and runners to e-scooters. It automatically detects if you\u2019ve had a crash or a fall, and raises an alert to your emergency contacts. That\u2019s not all \u2014 the new \u2018panic\u2019 feature allows users to rapidly share their location with their contacts at the press of a button. There is also a \u2018GroupSafe\u2019 feature that alerts riders if anybody strays far from the group.<\/p>\n

In addition, a \u2018hazards\u2019 feature proactively alerts riders to any reported adverse road conditions, such as potholes or other dangerous conditions. What\u2019s more, you can get rewarded for using the Busby<\/em>app with a sweatcoin, which can then be used to redeem exclusive rewards, discounts, and products directly in the Busby<\/em>marketplace.<\/p>\n
