Dangerous situation
Those in the comments section remarked that the cyclists' behaviour was dangerous, adding they could get seriously injured if the truck braked suddenly.
The danger stems from the cyclists being too close the truck and being in its blind spot.
In Singapore, it is recommended for motorists to maintain a following distance of at least one car length for every 16km/h of speed.
This ensures the motorist can stop within a safe distance of the vehicle in front.
A distance of at least three car lengths is needed if travelling at a 48km/h speed.
