The outer most right lane
-
I was wondering, does everyone really knows about when to give way when cars are rushing from behind at the outer most right lane. Actually those driving @ 90km/h should give way to the cars rushing behind. The road sign put, " Keep left unless over taking". But sad to say, I find that alot of driver dun give way at all. If durng peak hour, it is understandable. But during off peak when its not really that pack, some can drive slowly on outer most lane @ 70!!!. What are those guys thinking.
One of the most common road sign on the way expressway is, " Keep left unless overtaking" but with some of the drivers who keep on sticking at the outer most right lane not budging, how are the cars behind gonna overtake. Overtake on the divider??
I was wondering, how many people really knows about this "keep left unless overtaking" thingy and really knows about the meaning. If people want to speed, juzz give way let them overtake and speed. Kenna caught speeding would be their problem. Although the sign says speed limit 90, we drivers do not have the authority to say who are speeding. Only TPs and LTA are the one who have the authority.
In conclusion, if you are not going faster then the vehicle behind you, give way and let the behind vehicle overtake. Dun have the mindcept of thinking that..."Hey, I am going at 90km/h already, why you behind speed so fast for what" Juzz move your car butt and give way. -
well my theory is as long as im faster than u, u better give way... if got ppl lagi faster than me, i will give way.Originally posted by drumstick:I was wondering, does everyone really knows about when to give way when cars are rushing from behind at the outer most right lane.

I will follow the "Keep left unless overtaking rule" as well as the speed limit of the road...
If the speed limit of the road is 90, and i'm already going at 90 at the rightmost lane, then I dont see the need to give way to the car behind me.... because the speed limit is 90 and if he overtakes me, he would have gone faster than 90... I dont want him/her to get caught by the TP.... so i wont give way
-
it's mandatory not to exceed 90, but it's not mandatory to give way to faster vehicle

KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING
it's so simple, direct, straight in your face.
isn't it simple to understand that, unless you're overtaking, stay away from this overtaking lane, WHATEVER SPEED you may be travelling in. -
let me re phrase it...mayb u din get wat i meant...Originally posted by freakass:You can try telling this sentence to a tp.. see what happens
there isn't a need for civilians to make other road users to maintain under the speed limit...
baseline...dun act tp.... -
yes there isn't a need...Originally posted by Edgar_Davids:anyway, there isn't a need for civilians to give way to behind faster vehicles on the road, unless the behind vehicle is a tp

2) Do not exceed the speed limit of the road.
Both are traffic rules. Why must we follow 1) and ignore 2)? WHY WHY WHY?!
And for those guys who are so keen on keep the outer most right lane free for overtaking, you guys are just finding an excuse to speed. If the right lane is really free for overtaking, that means that after u overtake the car in front of you, you must return to the left lane again... but will u? Obviously NO! You will just speed on the rightmost lane... You are just complaining becos u love to speed and others dont.... what if the fastest u can go is 140 and the car behind u can go at 150, does it mean tht u're the road hogger on the rightmost lane in this case? -
i will return to the left provided there aren't any cars which i tink i will overtake ahead...otherwise it wld b more dangerous to change lanes so many times....Originally posted by freakass:1) Keep left unless overtaking.

i don't get what you mean. did i mention ignoring rule 2 at all? good for you if you want to maintain at 90. i didn't suggest you going above it if you don't choose to, but rather, keep left once u're done with overtaking.Originally posted by freakass:1) Keep left unless overtaking.

if your intention to stay on the right at 90 is to prevent those behind you from speeding like what you said earlier, then i have nth more to say other than MYOB you're not TP
and btw sorry for your poor assumption, i'll return to the 2nd lane after i'm done with overtaking, unless it's an entire line of them. if that's really the case then i'll speed on lane 1. it's not an excuse, it's that i choose to. if i know someone's coming faster than me from behind, then i'll pick up because this is an overtaking lane and i don't want to be a liability. of course when it comes to an extent when it's too fast to me, i'll back off to the 2nd lane. it's a matter of making a choice. this is what i do, up to you to believe. but even if you don't, you don't have the right to assume what i actually do. -
yes... i believe
-
Out of the 2345309865398792847209340395839045 drivers who overtake on the right lane, i think only 1% returns to the left lane automatically... and we have 2 of such nice people in our forum..tht's good news
-
I only go to the extreme right lane when I am overtaking some slower cars, and I will only go back to lane 2 when its safe to do so or after I am done with the overtaking, not before that.
-
actually i'll only stay on the right lane if there are cars slower than me on the middle(no car stay centre better cos if skid more space to manuaver) but then i wont go back in even if theres a faster car behind me. cos i wont speed and i willnot inconvenience myself so other pple can speed.Originally posted by Theatre Of Dreams:i don't get what you mean. did i mention ignoring rule 2 at all? good for you if you want to maintain at 90. i didn't suggest you going above it if you don't choose to, but rather, keep left once u're done with overtaking.

I have checked with my friend in TP. HE says as long as you are blocking the car behind you, you are road hoggin him despite whatever speed u are. Especially in the right lane. So even if you are 140km/hr and he 150km/hr, you are still road hogging. So both of you caught speeding + you get extra charge on road hogging.
It is normal for cars to exceed 90km/hr to overtake, in fact TP gives 10km allowance for that. So please be considerate and act as if you own the right lane. Here's to more considerate drivers
-
i will move aside la...unless its some ppl who are guai lan then i will accelerate....

As what one of the reply stated, Keep Left Unless Overtaking. Even if anyone is driving at the max speed limit of 90km/h, you will still need to give way or it will be taken as you are road hogging. Whether the behind car is speeding or not, its not up to individual driver to comment or think or even to decide. Its up to TP or LTA to decide as they are the one who are given the authority to do so under Singapore Traffic Law.
And so, the moral of these topic is.... please let your frens who are drivers take note of this.
It is true, as long as if you are on the outer right lane tavelling at a speed slower than the car at the back, and no space of overtaking on the right is applicable, you will be considered as road hogging.
Majority of the drivers knows that during off peak time, on the highway, alot of cars do travel at 110km/h. If the front driver still mantain at 90km/h and no space to overtake on the right, it will be road hog. -
i will always give way to the car behind me if they are travelling faster than me regardless whether its over the speed limit.
please be considerate for other road users. -
Most s'porean drivers I have seen on the roads here are either inconsiderate, impatient or selfish.
These people better not drive at NS highway. Saw a news article quite a while ago. A MPV driven by a s'porean was being knocked on his backside by a m'sian bus. Why? He thought it was his grandfather road. Should we pity these kind of people? I think it serves them right.
No offense, my personal view only.
I'll give way to whatever vehicle behind me even I'm travelling at 90-100km/h at the outer right lane. -

many of you have the misconceptions that outer most right lane is only for overtaking, actually it's not. -
In the end, it's the m'sian bus who get penalizedOriginally posted by mr sunray:These people better not drive at NS highway. Saw a news article quite a while ago.
