Ever felt scare when riding on the road
-
With big cars?I have so many friends that met with accidents.Most of the times,the driver fault.We are always at the losing end when on the roads.
-
when big buses or lorries swept past u in the same lane.. ur hairs can stand...imagine the impact...
-
I'm considering to quit riding.Wake up earlier to take public transport.The few minutes is definitely worth the price of saving my life.
-
when im driving a car past a big lorry my hair already stand on the end. i can imagine how much worse ppl on bikes feel.
-
Juz look far, balance urself (against the wind of the truck/bus).....if too scared, then juz close ur eyes n c where u go lor...hahaOriginally posted by HENG@:when im driving a car past a big lorry my hair already stand on the end. i can imagine how much worse ppl on bikes feel. -
Take your space in the centre of the lane when you are moving.
Do not ride in between vehicles when traffic is moving.
Keep a lookout for vehicles at your side, you can see them wanting to cut into your lane, when they want to cut into your lane.
Adjust your speed to the traffic flow.
Be specially careful at junctions.
Ride safely, and all you have to worry about is the idiot behind you whose brake is not working. -
actually i hate it when the bikes all cut in front of me when at the junction waiting to turn today in the end got like 6 or 7 bikes in front of me when i was first at the traffic light, then in the end i had to wait to turn so irritating cut queee and so many at one time

Some tips, I pick up during my 5 years riding,
1.) Defensive Riding.
2.) Kill all ur bad bike habits. Yup, even squeezing between vehicles during red light.
3.) Ride with an open mind. So wat if the car try to race u, so wat the car cut ur lane, keep cool and forget it, no point getting angry with such actions. As mentioend, bike is always on the losing end.
4.) Ride with eyes open big big. What is more dangerous than riding a motorbike? Riding without paying attention to the road. U can easy avoid situations by alot of stupid riders, drivers or pedestrians by just paying more attention to the road.
The above points are hard to pick up, especially for young ppl. But once you pick up, you will have less stressful time on the road and not to mentioend, less encounter with Uncle Sam. -
aiya dun care la, juz ride the way u want la, anyway, at the end of the day, nobody gets out alive...correct or not? hehe

If all bikes form up, left, right, left, right, two by two, like they are taught during training, the queue at traffic lights will be super long.
Further more, do you notice the first car waste 1 second of the green light before moving off, and the second car takes 2 seconds, and the third car.......this is precisely the reason why Singaporean drivers developed the habit of honking immediately when the light turns green.
I don't like squeezing between cars, and I don't while traffic is moving.
But when traffic stops, and there is sufficient space between vehicles, I will move as far ahead as I can. Too many times, while following properly behind vehicles, I get 2 red lights before I clear the junction.
Now whenever all vehicles have stopped. I squeeze up to the front.
It is not a good thing to do, but heck you clear that congestion faster, and you breath in less fume. -
riding is a passion, if u lose that passion, then riding will become a torture.
if the passion still burns in you, will u regret if u were to give up riding? -
will die means will die..sit at bus stop wait bus,lorry or cars bang onto u also..lan lan still die..we are born to die..just sooner or later. if there is no ending..there will be no starting..
getting old with no memories is ok, but getting old with lots of regret is something which i do not want to happen too..

True! i've the same thinkin as u...if every motorcycle were to queue up.....then every traffic junction will be like going to Johor during peak hrs... Lagi worse! Anyway squeezing is not an offence as long as u dun hit anyone/anything..Even i squeeze in front of the Tp, he juz ignore me..he also try to squeeze with his extra large side box by the side..Originally posted by mancha:Ha!
