the ambulance went up the curb, into the little drain and was stopped short by a grassy slope..

no lah, singapore roads are very easy to drive
once in your life, if u have ever crashed your car on sg roads before, then your driving skills is considered very very lousy already and needs a lot of polishing and defensive driving course
on sg roads, it's very shameful to get into accidents
those drivers who crashed their cars on sg roads before should heed my advice
alternative 1 : be very careful in the future and adhere to the speed limit, try not to go beyond 90 on expressway, obey traffic rules and signal consistently when changing lanes and turning
alternative 2 : display a p-plate and drive like a p-plate driver
alternative 3 : take public transport
if u are those type who have crashed your vehicle before, try not to speed lah, cos u are not the type who can drive fast, better keep left and drive like a p or L-plate driver,
do not be egoistic, slow driving does not neccessarily mean lousy driving, most impatient daring aggressive speedsters may look skilful, but in actual, with very bad driving records and history of speeding and traffic accidents, you deem these S-O-T-Bs skilful? well i don't think so
and for goodness sake, do not tell me
speeding will not kill -

HOW OLD ARE YOU? -
we have various comments by overseas singaporeans how its lovely to drive overseas
a) they have less, if not non-existent, people who are rude, drive like they own the road
b) we are pretty small, roads are smaller, winding and all, their city plan is pretty neat, straight and all
what i can say is, if you drive overseas with a langgar, you might not be pro, but if you drive here with no scratch, you are either super pro, or you today start driving nia -
I wouldn't say Singapore roads are "easy", not by a far stretch ....
and I wouldn't say one's a lousy driver if one's involved in a langa ....
now matter how "defensive" a driver you're, there are situations that simply cannot be helped ...
just slightly more than a month ago, some prick banged into the back of my car at a red light, while my car was at a complete stop, how then ? ....
getting involved in a langa is like striking toto ... sooner or later, if you drive often enough, it'll happen to you ... -
compared to JB roads, singapore roads are a breeze...
compared to australian roads, singapore drivers are maniacs...
past few weeks i noticed something.. i've come across a lot of drivers driving ON the road dividing lines, taking up two lanes for a long time (more than a kilometre) before they decide to either merge back into their original lane or change lanes..
then there are drivers who drive on the extreme right lane of the expressway at 70km/h or less...
a couple of weeks ago, when going to work, i saw this middle aged lady who was leaning forward until her body was almost in contact with the steering wheel, and her head was almost above the steering wheel... she was driving along the ECP just outside marina at around 55km/h in the middle lanes.. it was about 7:25am so there was minimal traffic...
scary... -
btw, i was hit on the expressway too.. and i was at a complete stop... there was a massive traffic jam and it was raining...
minding my own business, waiting for the traffic to move, a motorcyclist hit my left rear...
after making sure he was all right, he refused to go to the hospital.. and all that, about 3 minutes later, a similar accident happened 2 cars in front of me, to another car which was also stationery...
i think sometimes people have to know the limitations of their vehicle as well as their own..Originally posted by Fatum:I wouldn't say Singapore roads are "easy", not by a far stretch ....

Speeding NEVER kills if ur tire got the Z rating & u dun pass it(tire no explode> mayb pump nitrogen better).all engine parts parts in tip top condition ,at a stright road, wid no obstical,no on-coming trafic,good weather.Originally posted by No_10_Tomas:and for goodness sake, do not tell me
speeding will not kill
Normal experiance driver start 0km/h to 240km/h or even 276km/h den should be able to get it back to 0km/h in 1 piece safetly wid above condition.
Only "suddenly" "emergency" slow down tat cause locking of brakes,tire skidding, etc... den all hell break lose. -
