Signaling right to request cars to give way
-
Sometimes really don't know whether is it SG drivers have no manners or they are simply clueless. Was driving towards AMK today and in a bit of a rush, so I was on the right most lane. This Lancer in front of me was going fairly slowly, about the same as cars on the lane on the left. So I just signal right as I was coming along fast from behind him. There was no car at that point of the road on his left so he should have moved back to the left lane after overtaking. But NO~ He stuck to the right most lane at his placid speed. I kept the right signal on and waited and waited and waited... But either he did not want to give way or he did not know what the signal means. So no choice right? I overtake him on his left then. And you know what? That idiot took offence and sped up to tailgate after me~
Don't really know to feel disgusted or not but made a right turn soon after, so bo chup this guy already.
Question: Do SG drivers know what signaling right when on right most lane means?
-
Point to note though, I seldom have problems signaling right and having drivers give way to me Up North. So Msian drivers do know and respect this rule it seems.
-
Well that's driving on Singapore's road for you. Not everyone is a courteous driver. But i'm sure you've met drivers with good practice as well right
So hopefully this is the exception rather than the norm. -
all i can say is, i'm glad u don't lose sleep over it.

signal right on the expressway extreme right lane for pple to let you go??
I think he thought u forgotten to off you signal.....
Well, aiya some pple like tat one lar.... always like to hog the road..... while others forget to bring their brains out....
This was wat I encounter a few days back.... a car was behind me and moving very fast.... and I intended to move left to let him go first... but there was a lorry that was speeding and on par with my speed..... but the driver of the car keep demanding me to give him the right of way by beaming and flashing his headlights at me and following me at bumper to bumper distance... well, what I did was to hog the road all the way
Was I in the wrong?? This is rather subjective.....
If in the past I will just let him past and follow at the same distance and on my high beam but nowadays change to be a responsible driver. hehhehe..... -
Ques: Signalling right on extreme right lane means u want to overtake the car in front of u?
Ans: Depends on which country u're driving in. I think u're too used to M'sia's highway codes. It does applies to M'sia but for Singapore, u want to over-take the car in front, u either tail gate or flash high beam.. (sad but true) -
I have been driving for quite a few years..don't recall I had learnt from anywhere that signaling right on rightest most lane is to ask us to give way~Originally posted by Subbx:Sometimes really don't know whether is it SG drivers have no manners or they are simply clueless.

If you are driving on Sg road..Why not follow our driving style and juz overtake dat guy from the left?? Else juz beam dat guy~
Save more trouble.... -
Well, i gave up with the right signal indication, tailgating & high beaming.. now i dont give a rats ass about waiting for a singaporean driver to give way. I just pull out a formula 1 stunt and get pass em slow drivers !
-
hahaha... normally i do the overtaking skill on the left to jump ahead...if he wants to tailgate let him be lor.. since it is wrong to tailgate.. but there is nothing wrong in going in front of him if you signal left then later right..
-
Seriously, I don't know this rule, a little new to the road. I asked about with my friends. Only 1 out of 3 knows about this rule. They are all frequent drivers. Guess if you don't learn it in the books, you wouldn't learn it. Anyway, I will remember that.Originally posted by Subbx:......

1: Flash High Beam for every half a second for abt a min....
2: Still never give way, then Click Highbeam.
3: start Horning for 3 second every 5 second.....
4:STILL never give way, Press Horn untill give way
5: (unless u wanna hit-and-run) downshift to red zone and bang the slow guy's rear bumper.
6: if never give way then over take and flip middle finger at him(if u dun want to do 4,5 and 6 then after 3, overtake and flip middle finger -
Originally posted by peni's:You are right! Tat guy sibei inconsiderate. Wat I do for such people is jam break and see them in shock and react . Alternative is to overtake them again (if your car is fast) and then drive slowly (at 60kmh) to irritate them. u r the man!!~
-
I think for most countries it is base on courtesy...if u see a car travelling at a faster speed you just signal left to let him past. And the speeding car when near to a slow moving car will slow down and wait for the one in front to move way....Originally posted by SGnewbie:Ques: Signalling right on extreme right lane means u want to overtake the car in front of u?

There is no standard way of overtaking thus resulting in road hoging and tailgating to occur. -
wah seh... wait your car tio mischief then you know sia.. anyway flipping the middle finger is roadbullying... so dont do itOriginally posted by ceecookie:what do do...

Tailgating is so bad manners, I try not to do it unless I have no choice
Maybe it's time to send some of those drivers for re-education
Besides, I do think it is quite common sense that when a car behind you is moving faster than you, to give way to the faster car. Perhaps this problem is more of an ego problem? -
Precisely! Ever encountered when a car coming up fast behind me and I want to give way but there are cars blocking on the left. I still signal left to let the car behind know that I AM going to let him pass once I have the chance but still kanna high beamed...Originally posted by Praetorian111:signal right on the expressway extreme right lane for pple to let you go??

1. there are lots of heavy vehicle or slow motorcycle motorists out there, who, despite their speed limitations, insist on using the middle lane in the expressway, even though the left lane is clear!
2. an equal number of motorists out there either do not know how to use their signal indicators, or couldnt afford to use that 1 joule of energy to lift their fingers to activate it. they either switch lanes without indicating, or indicator only when they have started to switch lanes! well, if i can see your vehicle moving into another lane, i do not need your signal indicator to tell me that! dont understand what the signal indicator is meant for?!
3. as for those crazy idiots (motorcyclists or drivers) who think they have the right to speed past everyone else, and the whole world should give way to them, i would like to send a word - if you wish to die, please go ahead and drive your vehicle into the road divider, and not drag others into your personal suicidal affair. and for these people who either like to tailgate or high beam when they are behind me and when i am already travelling beyond the speed limit, i would personally like to slow down and frustrate them further. -
How can you compare sg roads with malaysia roads when we got 3 lanes on our expressways while they only got two on NS highway ?
-
There are also 3 lane NS highways after seremban to KL.
In spore maybe bcos th speed is consider not very fast so ppl just bochap but in NS highway the case are different. Do not keep hogging to the right lane unless u are fast cos there are lots of cars travelling at excess 150km/h.
Accident at high speed mean fatalities and 80 or 60km/h in spore only mean injuries.
Lots of big cars drivers is m'sia are very courteous and give way even they dont travel fast although their cars are capable. But in spore these drivers are very proud and arrogant thinking their cars is fast.
I encountered many these spore plate drivers hoggin at NS highway at 110 to 130km/h....... even the kancils sometimes travel faster than them also never hogging the right lane.
I would say that no. of spore driver growing become inconsiderate is double or triple the amount of m'sia drivers.
That is why lots of spore drivers like to over take at the extreme left lane..... -
It's manners mah, no matter how many lanes there areOriginally posted by nick34:How can you compare sg roads with malaysia roads when we got 3 lanes on our expressways while they only got two on NS highway ? -
Good 4 u since u know e rule. Almost everyone practise tis along e north-south highway. imagine u r doing 170kmh, got to slow down when e car infront of u dunno 2 be automatic...very piss off....slow...pick speed again.Originally posted by Subbx:Sometimes really don't know whether is it SG drivers have no manners or they are simply clueless.

wah. subxx = fierce lady driverOriginally posted by Subbx:So no choice right? I overtake him on his left then. And you know what? That idiot took offence and sped up to tailgate after me~ if i kena overtaken by u on the left 
probably find the nearest exit and hide.
dun think the drivers in sg are well acquainted with the prodigal "signal rite means u are going too slow and u should keep left coz i wanna overtake u" rule thats more common place with our neighbours further north of woodlands. maybe next time u should juz overtake him on the left anyway since he's gonna do the same whether u bother to signal rite or not
-
No problem with right light indicator for msia.
For s'pore i dunno. Usually i just cut in left lane, stare at the rode hogger for say 3 seconds before cutting in front of him let him smell my smoke. -
If can't overtake by the right, go by the left loh... no need for point fingers/stare/dig nose/spit/fart/show foot/throw rubbish/stick out tongue/poke his eyes/throw steering wheel at the hogger loh.
The "hogger" maybe sticking to the speed limit and doesn't wan to be kana bitten by termites.
Like they say, from a distance need to flash high beam liao. If u tailgate then flash high beam, dun think tat person can see. If still dun give way, overtake by the left loh then take it as normal lah.
Anyway, so far didn't encounter unreasonable pple before when I overtake them by the left. I hope you guys say for fun only leh... dun do it for real. e.g. Point middle fingers, jam brake, thow steering wheel, dig nose drive close to tat car then wipe it on tat bugger's windscreen. -
gave up liao....... u high beam and horn they will not give way , u wan overtake from left they will speed so as not to let u overtake them.....so IMO i juz drive how i wan and the rest juz bochap......as long i dun caused any accident...simple as that....every man for themselves on the roads of SG...
