Singaporeans are bad drivers
-
"....He thinks Singapore is almost perfect, with its stable environment and great local food.
If he has a pet peeve, it is the way Singaporeans drive. 'Driving here is terrible. People park anywhere they want and cut into lanes without signalling,' he laments.
One way to improve driving skills and etiquette, he says, is to take learner drivers to 'places where they will be driving eventually'.
'It's no use letting them practise on the same few roads, and not exposing them to traffic situations at junctions and expressways.' "

haha...u take L plate drivers to the road they eventually drive on, they will die a terrible death. tested n proven...
when i was L plate driver, my instructor made me drive from bedok to jurong and back via old road (bukit timah, clementi etc). can die from the way other pple drive and not give way. have to be hard to change lane before pple give way...
think the way to harden up L drivers and newbie drivers is to let the drive under supervision...den they will learn... -
try driving in kuwait
but really...if they were to drive on any random road...they'd have to NOT follow the rules in order to make it out alive...hohohohoho~~~
sometimes, the more you signal, the more the cars wont give way... -
i admit, i always never put signal, esp the car is quite far behind.
maybe he thinks many singaporeans are bad drivers due to taxis? -
Driving in Korea is a frightening experience compared to Singapore.I only kena sarbo a few times during my driving tests at Ang Mo Kio
-
Can go Taiwan - Taipei or Kaosiong. Take taxi only u'll get alot alot experience.. Haha....
-
I think S'porean's driving is not too bad. KL is much worse isn't it.

There are three ways you can drive a vehicle in singapore.1)Drive carelessly like a woman driver 2)Drive Kiasu-ly when you feel the cameras and policemen are keeping an eye on you or 3)You could drive defensively for your own safety and the safety of others around you.

LOL... go Cambodia
They move in and out like ninjas -
There are bad drivers everywhere.
There are good drivers everywhere.
Where they are, depends on how you are.
You're calling the shots, on who is good and who is bad. -

not that i dun want to signal you know? im forced not to signal.
you see? if i signal to change lane, then the car behind me will pick up speed and not let me change lane.
so i have to change lane without letting them know i changing lane so they wont pick up speed to block my way.

But I'm better than you, I still do signal, only when I'm halfway into the lane. "Tick tock tick tock tick tock", I think 3 flashes are enough.
Ok I'm a jerk flame me. -
There are many like you lah.Originally posted by Theatre Of Dreams:I agree.

Signal, quickly chang lane.
The "I-got-signal-what" attitude.
This is slightly better than the no signal just change lane serve. -
behind no cars no need to signal la. for who to see?
-
for that tp hiding behind the bush or dark corner all ready to pound on you.Originally posted by Ah Cek:behind no cars no need to signal la. for who to see? -
try go thailand & m'sia lor.. then u will know singapore is actually quite good liao...
-
no need to go far...johor already quite hardcore...the small cars will be the one who bully...lol...so watch out for the kenaris and kelisas in johor...
-
u know 958 actually got say before,
onli when sg driver go drive johor then can consider pass.
other country they drive they don't look at how many
lanes is on the ground.
if got onli 5 lane, can squeeze 8 car then they will
drive 8 car. their skill is like 1 car from the other can be 10 cm apart nia. -
In my experience, I find that drivers in Perth tend to be a bit more courteous and patient (less use of the horn) compared to singaporean drivers.
