stress stress stress driving in singapore

so stressful driving in singapore .... could not agree more with the writers who wrote to st forums complaining the stress level for drivers in singapore.
the car advertisement can consider to remove thier selling points of v6, 0-100 in less than 9 secs, bla bla bla ... all these are useless in singapore.
highway only can travel at 90 kmph .... other roads at 50 kmph ... otherwise your license points will be demerited and slapped with fine.
everyone should start buying 1000cc car only .. coe revised to < 1000cc and > 1000cc only .. hehe ! -
then donch drive.

tts what i almost practice.Originally posted by HENG@:then donch drive.
luckily for me, i live in pasir ris, and my workplace is at yishun, and the other places i frequent during weekdays are all neighbourhoods and towns. i do not need to contend with city traffic day in day out.
during the weekends, if i go downtown, i would not drive. not only will the traffic give me high blood pressure, parking will send stress levels to the sky too! -
Consider getting a panel Van, you can park at loading bays ... no need to rush for parking lotOriginally posted by wuming78:tts what i almost practice.

Most shopping mall loading bays require you to show your Delivery Order in order to prove that you are doing delivery and some loading bays do charge a fee.Originally posted by johncooper:Consider getting a panel Van, you can park at loading bays ... no need to rush for parking lot -

maybe OT
but there's a joke/dig at sg driving
3 engineers once said down and lamented the expensive car prices. so they eac had suggestions to reduce car prices in sg..
1. remove the rear-view mirror
because sg drivers dont/seldom use it at all
2. remove the signal lights
because drivers dont/seldom signal when turning
3. reduce gears to only 3.
because sg frequently jams, so no need so high gears(4th and 5th) and also speed limit so low... -
mhhhh then for our neighbouring countries, reduce to 2nd gear cause the traffic is crawling.Originally posted by bismarck:maybe OT

one more... add more things to the car so that they do not have space to put a car bomb into the car. -
i tink the problem tt sg ppl even vv short distant also mus sit in car.. if short distant i tink should walk lor.. like tt will lighten the traffic..then for car park wise should charge per min instead of 1/2hr or hourly.. so ppl don waste so much time parking.. then once park asap get the thing don and leave.. the gov should also revise the public transport.. in sg jus a small island however the travelling is so long.. in france for example travelling between 2 city maybe take 1-2hr... which is few hundred km apart.. In sg from boonlay to pasir (40+km) if without personal transport it is likely to take 1-2hr also.. which is quite ridiculous i guess..

lol. driving is an expensive investment in sg.

I find all the complaints about stressfull driving stupid.
It is very easy to make driving pleasant again.
When I was in Los Angeles, I was driving a 3000 cc car around the neighbourhood at an average speed of 50kmph. It was a pleasant experience.
You have time to look, to stop, to wave thankyou, you can recognise people walking, give way, it was so pleasant because all the other drivers are also cruising slowly. Only on the expressway and main throughfare are the speed increased.
The Traffic Police should strictly enforce the 50 kmph speed limit in built-up areas, and as the default speed limit.
For expressways the posted speed limits apply.
Its ridiculous that we should speed from one light controlled junction to the other at speeds in excess of 80 kmph in housing estates, and then complain that driving in Singapore is so stressful.
We have better cars, and therefore want to go faster and faster, and even faster.
We are stressing ourselves out.
Go slow, and have the time to be courteous, and to wave and smile

driving in singapore is no-kick at all
i don't understand why singapore drivers are driving as though they so stressed, so excited and high and horny, and i don't understand why is there a need to speed on the roads
maybe they should cut down on their masturbation so that they won't be so horny
to those who have been involved in traffic collisions and kenna demerit points, hahaha shame on you, u overestimated your driving skills but i can tell you your driving skills are only lowly and mediocre hahahahahaha, shame on you -
