Spotted Sv 96B using MK2 WA NAC todayOriginally posted by service_238:This is because 96 calls at the alightiing berth at the interchange. Before the interchange moved there wasnt a need to have 96B as the buses can go off service straight from the MRT bus stop. No prizes for guessing what's the 96B route
Somemore heavy rain -
There is no grab pole in the middle of the front door of SBS 2647Y, unlike other striders.

SBS1787H as well as SBS1807J are some of themOriginally posted by Volvo Olympian:Spotted Sv 96B using MK2 WA NAC today Somemore heavy rain -
Yeah , I also notice it when it cameo-ed on 105 , hmm , quite odd..Originally posted by dfs24:There is no grab pole in the middle of the front door of SBS 2647Y, unlike other striders. -

Erm... if you read his post, he said it was an OLD video because the Casio ads were present.Originally posted by SBS9806J:Casio Exlim ads expired already, SgWiki says it has Garnier Light ads. Anyway, most (if not all) Casio Exlim ads have been taken down already. -
its quite common to see BCs:
- forgetting to cancel their signal lights
- activate the wrong set of signal lights (eg. right signal but left turn)
- activate the signal lights too early till it confuses other motorists
- and some even forgot to switch off their hazard lights! -
Not exactly. 95B starts from Kent Ridge to BNV MRTOriginally posted by 105090:something like 95B
anyway 96B is CLE - CLE MRT via NUS. To skip one alighting point = SWT
Any bus can do 96B, doesnt matter which bus does it. That's because buses that terminate at Clementi at that time either go for a Meal break or a break to start a full 96 route thereafter. -
My point is that 154 had been amended for many years yet it was still using old old destoes. Potentially misleading scenario.Originally posted by service_238:I saw a VO 3x saying Choa Chu Kang via Orchard Blvd 190 New Bridge Rd via Orchard Rd
That's in 1999. Wow
Come back to 2007 and stop living in 1999.
Ever saw a CRB cameo on 14 @ CLE with "BEDOK 14 BUKIT MERAH" as well.

Like as other motorist never does the same mistakes?You drive 8 to 14 hours a day you don't tell me you don't make this mistakes?Better than some motorists who never signal thier intentionOriginally posted by SBS3688Y:its quite common to see BCs:

In the past, many motorcycles do not have safety cut off switch at the side stands. So I rode off my bike without releasing side stand and nearly crashed. I bought 7 mototrbikes before. And thankfully most of them now have a cut off switch at the side stand. If the side stand is down, clutch out for Suzuki G6, the engine cannot even start. If the side stand is down for the R1, the moment I engage gear, the engine will stall. All these come to help out as a safety net to prevent the rider from facing consequences of a moment's folly.
I also recall during a stressful day's work forgetting to release handbrake when I drove off. "How come the pick-up no power?" Then realised the handbrakes still on.
By right the signal indicators are supposed to off itself as your steering wheel is straightened after turning. But sometimes the signal indicator is faulty so you need to hit back yourself. But I also forget to off it sometimes. When riding motorbike, the signal indicator is fully manual. I also forgot to off before. And I cannot guarantee in future I will always remember to off it too.
The first time when I drove a continental car was an Opel Astra. I was so used to japanese right hand signal left hand wiper. Then when I turned out, I hit the 'signal' and the wiper came up.
I also drove the Peugeot 1007 before. Optional tiptronic Gear shift is behind the steering wheel. Not quite used to it keep bringing to the wrong gear also.
All these are part and parcels of our lives on the roads. That is why we have to learn to foresee situations on the roads. In this way every road user watches each other's back for we will not know who will be the next to make mistakes. -
In SG sometimes dun indicate signal even better...Originally posted by carbikebus:Like as other motorist never does the same mistakes?You drive 8 to 14 hours a day you don't tell me you don't make this mistakes?Better than some motorists who never signal thier intention
The driving attitude of some here are really of the opposite -
Just ignore these people. If you can stay far away from these people will be the safest. I was disturbed many times on the road while on my flashy bikes. 1 Evo tailedgated me on northsouth highway while I was on my suzuki600 and refused to pass me even though I let the car pass. I cut several cars and went up to 240kph, the driver still chased after and tailed me. From the mirror I saw that it was a girl. The number plate started with SDP. That time was new car. Just stay away as much as possible.Originally posted by sbst275:In SG sometimes dun indicate signal even better...

Some BC also behave that way. Some 'racers' like MB0405 very much for the handling. Really bastards to their colleagues.There were even cases whereby BC refused to report speedlimiter out of calibration. -

Opel Astra signal stalk on the left hand side? The Holden version has it the other way around. I always thought both cars were exactly the same.Originally posted by MS:You don't have a driving licence right?

SBS9264Y have red refubrished seats like the batch 2/3.
-
That's because the Opel steering wheel was designed for Left Hand Drive while the Holden follows British style right hand drive.The Dennis also the same while there are exceptional like MBs
-
What about Volvo and Scania? Where are their indicator stalks located?

the driver's cabin for Hino Volgren buses look cramped and small. even the coin box is so near the driver till he can rest his hands on top of it!
