Look how close cyclist comes to being run over after beating red light

A video showing an elderly man cycling across the road despite a red light and almost getting knocked down by a car went viral in less than a day.

The video was posted by the Beh Chia Lor - Singapore Road Facebook page and credited to Walkram Kc.

Thankfully, the turning car stopped in time for the the cyclist to cross the road.

If you watch the video closely, the cyclist even turned his head towards the car before cycling off.

Was he already expecting the car to stop for him despite the red light?
