What are coming of S'pore drivers
-
Seriously, i have encountered so many time where drivers are coming out of a slip road and just merging with the main road by driving through the island. whats wrong with just waiting in the line? there is an major accident about the happen.
today i just encountered a situation whereby im coming down cte on the first lane, just going the bridge to exit at amk ave1. and the merging lane is from barddell road.. and there are the two white lines which indicate they are only to join the cte after it. so this guy comes right into my lane squeezing inbetween me and the car infront. so i flashed him a few times to warn him that i'm right behind. Therefore to show me his anger, he just slams on his brake? that would have caused a serious accident, and may even hurt someone. how acceptable is this? i'm just drives me absolutely mad

Seen too much of these kinda drivers. You'll get used to it in no time. It's like they are perpetually in a rush. Just let them be as long as they don't endanger your life.
-
That is the importance of being alert and vigilant of the traffic conditions around you.

Quite the same thing happened to me yesterday. I was making my way to TPE from sengkang. The slip road that merges with the expressway has two lanes that merges into one lane closer to the expressway. I was on the left side, there's this Civic behind me on the right side.
From my rearview mirror I know he wanted to overtake me, maybe he can't stand getting stuck behind a red-plate Picanto. At the point where he tried to overtake me the two lanes are nearly merged into one lane already. I even shifted my car to the right a little to try and block that little bastard, yet he squeezed passed me and we were so close to clipping each other's car. My blood was boiling like mad at that point so I horned and flashed high beam.
Once I was on the highway I chased him and purposely cut right in front of his lane and brushed my brakes a few times just to teach that little SOAB a lesson.

oh yeah, i was definately aware of what he was doing, and i always give way to cars. but this time it was just so sudden that the guy swoved into my lane by crossing the double white line. i really just cant stand ignorant drivers.
-

Used to it... those are the branded cars e.g B** , M*rc*de. Juz becoz their car has horsepower doesn't mean they should speed.
Situation
Driving at 90km/h (speed limit liao), some horsepower strong car behind flash their light. So if I speed & tio caught by TP for speeding 100km/h ( ya i noe usually TP wun eat too full. tat y i say IF ), can I blame the car behind for flashing light indicating tat i hogging lane so i speed to 100km/h?

u kiss the boot, you are wrong.. then you dispute he hard brake, you cannot stop in time.u kiss the side. 50% chance at fault. again disputeable.

ok, was thinking of that. but seriously, that sucks. made to pay for someone's fault. yea, it's disputable though.because i also faced the same problem, merging lane into expressways, alot of ppl tend to cut in and out just to get out alittle earlier.
whats the difference between a few seconds if everyone can get out of the lane in an orderly manner.
-
If u exceed by 10km/h... will TP close an eye?
-
i will strong think so.
have any1 being fine for exceeding 5kmh?
-
Haha.... TP have other bigger bait to catch.
-
i think as long as it's below 100km/h, they will close on eye if it's less than 10km/h above the speed limit.
-
One thing for sure as a Driver on Singapore roads, Patient is a MUST!

It's not a problem to travel at 100km/h indicated on your speedo. Because we all know our speedos are never accurate. So 100km/h indicated on the speedo is probably just 93-95km/h in reality. So exceeding the speed limit by 3-5km/h, I doubt the TP so bo liao fine you.

I'm a young man I agree, but that's not why my blood boiled. My blood boiled because the two lanes are about to become one lane already he still drove on the road shoulder and overtook me. For what? Just to be in front of me?
If he tried to overtake me earlier when there's still lots of space I won't have been pissed off. But he did his stunning manoeuvre when it's so squeezy already and he nearly clipped my car doing that. Had to teach this kinda road idiots a lesson, but I know what I was doing. I calculated before I made my move.

just give way loh...
2nd lane speed is ard 90km/h? if so, why dun just drive on 2nd lane instead of 1st lane. u wanna keep to speed limit, dun mean others want to, so why put urself at risk by occupying the 1st lane. And beside, 1st lane are meant for emgency vech and over taking only

safety first lah. Just let them lor. Basically these people either have inferiority complex or they're getting hammered at work/home by their bosses/wives, so the road is the only place for them to show everyone their "power". Also take note, these will be the same people to pick fights with waiters/toilet washers, etc.
