  over blind spot, I know some simply dun check or apply signal. I dunno how ppl can change lane from right lane to middle lane w/o checking blind spot and beside.

  yes, so u learn to live with it too

  big bikes are here for hobbyists.

  u just drive your own style

  the big bike isn't flashing headlights at u to make a gap

  he's just waiting, he's living with it

  actually u gotta consider our expressway has bends, exits (some are clusterfark), lorries and so on. Not to say overflowing of traffic jam into expressway exit and left lane.

  NS Highway some stretch limit is 90kph because of open field (wind).

  our expressway is filled with inconsiderate drivers

  even if the camera at CTE says its 80 km/hr, u got idiots slowing down to 50.

  u got idiots slowing down to 50 on ECP going up benjamin sheares bridge

  the reason people get bikes is

  1) for hobby (big bikes)

  2) no money buy car (small bikes)

  3) don't wanna get stuck in jams (small bikes / big)

  u have to recognise these are the basic human reasons for a bike. why would i wanna hang around a car going at 80, when i can overtake and ride away?

  dun tailgate then what?

  when gap open then i start to open throttle and chiong in?

  he's waiting between you 2 not directly behind you 2

  i dun wait for a gap to open BEHIND a car, i wait in the middle of 2 lanes

  the car can jam his brakes, but i'm not gonna smack 100% into his rear bumper

  CTE dun have strict speed cameras. Furthermore CTE tunnel exits are jam prone, even no one slow down to 50, gotta keep a watch out.

  As for Benjamin Shares, for small cars it's not possible to sustain at 80kph unless rpm is at 3500 thks to the gradient.

  yeah but it doesn't apply to bikes

  i can throttle up and keep my speed

  so u want the rider to wait at 50? or just clear the vehicles and carry on his own way?

  i do understand Bike is convenient and move around easily and parking is cheaper..

  *always wanted a xiao mien yang small scooter - with garfield pics *

  but i see bikes who do not travel patiently and zip in/out of cars, that one i dun agreed..

  i see quite a good number of considerate bikers nowsaday where they drove on proper lane and good comfy speed too :)

  in any case, tailgating is an offence in itself.

  bike is convenient and easier to wave thru traffic jam. but there's other road users incl pedestrain on e road.

  living with what? keeping at 50?

  u must be joking

  if overtaking was not allowed on bikes, every 1st world country would have a rule that bikes are not allowed to do it

  but there isn't and there is a good reason why. because that is not what a bike is for

  it is not to be stuck in a jam

  "While people choose to ride motorcycles for various reasons, those reasons are increasingly practical, with riders opting for a powered two-wheeler as a cost-efficient alternative to infrequent and expensive public transport systems, or as a means of avoiding or reducing the effects of urban congestion."

  if people want to zip in and out, i dun care if they die, they deserve it.

  but if you want to kpkb about a biker waiting to clear a gap because u are slow

  then u should just mind your own business, right? the biker never horn you, never do anything, u just drive straight lah.

  you revealed it

  your want to speed even beyond e speed limit claiming 90kph is still insane, say cars cannot throttle as fast as car so they're useless, so ban cars.

  When I drive I look out for bikes esp changing lanes. Wat ppl want more?

  Why are you asking this in the first place?

  did he horn you?

  did he high beam you?

  did he tailgate u then slow down and tailgate u again?

  did he play punk?

  u worry for what??? he's not even asking anything from you!

  i can tell u what he was thinking "ok, got gap i open throttle and go through"

  in what way is that asking anything from you?

  he never tap on your bonnet and tell u move one side what
