hmmm well i tink riding on expressway besides looking out for cars......i believe other motorcycles r very dangerous also becoz a car can be easily seen on ya rearview but a single bike might juz creep up on behind u(while going fast u wun even noe he's there) i tio caught off my guard a couple of times liao......i wana lane change then out of the blue got a bike at my left slightly behind going straight.....very dangerous ah now i keep a look out for everything....hahaa and also 1 advice is TRY to NOT use the overtaking lane....firstly it's super disaster lane...u read the news recently got a few fatalities involve bikes "losing" control on the overtaking lane and the rider got flung to the opposite side of the road which is the overtaking lane for the other road....kenna bang by taxi and died... and bad point is i heard insurance wun cover u if u accident on the overtaking lane......

like tat means u never check blind spot ..hahaha

which is the overtaking lane har?

furthers right lane..Originally posted by GL:which is the overtaking lane har? -
on the rd, I usually overtake on the left lane, cars slower and safer to squeeze.Originally posted by TZR:furthers right lane..
But correct way overtaking is on the extreme right lane -
haha u may b correct lor....Originally posted by kun:wah i tink max veri aggressive towards taxi drivers.. coz he met some many f-up ones liao rite? now when c any thread on taxi driver than faster flame liaoz..
but im not flaming them just stating the fact.
some time u really need to look out for them coz they earning a living on the road mah...so when c pp flaging them some(not all)just dun care n change lane from the centre lane to the left lane to pick up pp...
n dun care about the traffic behind n expect pp to e-brake..
some ok 1 will show u his hand showing like paiseh like tat lor but some just fuck care..
but still there r some good taxi driver out there... -

GL..as wat the ppl have tell u...& max_alpha pointing out abt taxis...true lor..
Though me not a driver of anything, but being a professional passenger, sometimes I see the cabbie really can heck care the vehicles ard them, esp to bikes.
Few times I kanna, seeing the cabbie nearly knock down bikers. But then, heng dat the bikers alert enough to horn the cabbie... Juz take note lor... -
Alot of drivers on the road dun bother about bikers, they think that bikers are like 2nd class road users
Unless they themselves are bikers too, then they are more considerate to bikers.
Esp people driving bigger cars really a danger to bikers. If an lady is the driver worse, I nearly kena accident both on my bike and car before, but heng I anticipated it and avoided it.
Usually I high beam them , stare at them or horn them like hell. Dun give face one.
Taxi drivers, I give a little face, sometimes cannot blame them, times are hard and they need $$$, so they have to snatch passengers and also driving long hours damn tired one. I drived 14 hours straight b4, wan lan, can die sia, damn sleepy!
The other ppl to watch out are those construction truck or container truck drivers. They earn money by per trip, so that's why they cheong on the rd. -
