Honking at P Platers
-
I know this is dumb but why do pple love to honk at P platers?
I'm currently a P plate but drive every other day, so I'm not THAT bad. But you get some idiots who simply love to honk at me, esp when i'm cruising on the 1st lane of the Expressway, then honk at me to give way?? Can't they just signal or something?
Else, when at traffic light moving off, sometimes you move off a little slow cos distracted or sth, then you get pple honking at me, when the car beside me is still not moving too. ARGH!

Well, mr p plater... just to let you know, the 1st lane isn't for CRUISING. its for OVERTAKING.
Secondly, u can hear it when people honk. Some people don't look at their rear view mirrors to see any form of visual signals -

2ndly, by cruising, i meant i was going as fast as the car in front and faster than all the cars beside me. If wanna overtake, can simply signal? I will gladly switch lane and overtake. BTW, i've seen this happen to me and when the car overtake me and wanted to overtake the next car, they simply signal. Seems like they only wanna bully the P platers. -

then u shouldn't use the word cruising.
then its just bad luck u met drivers like this.
take note : don't cruise on the 1st lane no matter how fast you're going. If you're going at 120km/h and the middle lane has no car. Go to the middle lane -

I honk other people as well.. such as.. cabs that stop and double park.. blocking the left lane.
Hmm.. people don't usually honk on the freeways except when someone is trying to change lanes without glancing at their blind spots. So i'm not sure, maybe he was really frustrated that you were in the overtaking lane when you shouldn't be. Would you rather he honk of sit on your arse?
I'm also a P plates.. and have been for the last 2 3/4 years.. I will get off my Ps this June. I don't see why you are complaining.. everyone else gets honked as well. I'm sure you would honk someone if there was a right green arrow and the person is still sitting there looking at something else? -
Some people are just out to spoil your day.
Personally, I don't horn at anyone... unless that idiot is cruising at 70km/h on the expressway. -
AHHAHA.. even so.. i don't honk at people who are driving really slow on the expressway. Just go around them when safe.Originally posted by kopiosatu:Some people are just out to spoil your day.

What is the point? He will not go faster. They are probably driving a car that they are not suppose to (over cautious) or just old (too scared to drive faster). -

i almost fell of my chair..
good one, make sure u give a piece of ur mind to kopi, he's totally sexist against women drivers too btw..

Well i'll hold my horn until that guy makes way. He goes 50, i'll go 50.Originally posted by Lingos:AHHAHA.. even so.. i don't honk at people who are driving really slow on the expressway. Just go around them when safe.

The moment the driver changes lane i will overtake him on the overtaking lane and then proceed to the middle lane and carry on cruising. Kinda like a wake up call for them to stop hogging the road -
Oh you called hor??? Tamade that day i had to work 630am shift hor!!! Wake up stoned liao.Originally posted by jOhO:MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAhahahahaha

What's the point? Just go onto the middle lane and going around them. The driver could be bloody on drugs or drunk of something. Better idea... why not sit on his arse .. follow him all the way and when he brakes suddenly, crash into his arse.Originally posted by kopiosatu:Well i'll hold my horn until that guy makes way.

Exactly.. then why bother wasting your effort honking at some oblivious person?Originally posted by kopiosatu:If i want a crash i'd overtake him, then let him crash into my arse
Just go around! -
1st step : honkOriginally posted by Lingos:Exactly.. then why bother wasting your effort honking at some oblivious person?
Just go around!
2nd step : overtake and jam brakes -
Yes.. i guess insurance wipes you dry.Originally posted by kopiosatu:1st step : honk

And you don't get to show off your testosterone and mindless driven driving methods for at least 2 months. -
or to put the topic in yet another way:Originally posted by Subbx:Maybe to put the topic in another way: Why do some people just love to bully the P platers?
why do people like to abuse the horn (and the high beam for that matter)? -
a little bit off topic ....
there are two types of women drivers, those i can't stand and those who freakin' drive better than most men

When non p-platers see a p-plater driver on the road, they mostly have the mindset "they suck".
Well, if they(non p-platers) try those stupid stunts(overtaking then jam brake) on me, dun blame me for abusing my p-plate. If buang the best, seens this car goin to scrap liao, I dun mind getting more dents on the car, seen how pple drive the game called daytona? I'm goin to waste tat token of urs like how I'm going to waste ur brand new car on the expressway rail.
I'm drive on the left lanemost of the time, unless feeling kinky and wanna go 100<. And if left lane some "hero" still wanna horn and flash headlight, my right leg will feel very tired and need a rest.
I hate to use the horn unless in a very dangerous situation, most of the time I only flash my high beam, and nothing else. And overtaking, if I can't overtake, I'll wait for a chance, no point horning and flashing at the driver in front for being slow, he's just being cautious, is there anything wrong with being cautious??
And yes kopi, can't you be a little more flexible? If you can't overtake by the right, overtake by the left, common sense right? Unless the left lane is too crowded, then I hope you can be more patient and tolerant.
Driving in the public roads is all about tolerance and courtesy, cos all of us is sharing the same old road. If one can't even understand shuold BASIC courtesy and be tolerant, I suggest one needs to give up one's vehicle license. No point putting danger to all the road users. Who thinks I'm wrong about this can frame me now.
And if u wan some kind of road tat noone blocks u when u overtake, take it to sepang circuit, the road is wide and clear, u can crash, smash, slam, screech, drift, slide, skid, smoke, ram, jam all u wan. I dunno bout the price though but prepare to pay, with ur pride when u found urself overtaken and lapped over and over again like there no tomorrow instead of overtaking pple.
And as for taxi drivers, gotta hate them, gotta love them. Bcos of their "heroic" acts, they make us more alert on the road, I thank them for tat, and my driving skills getting better bcos of them.
A word of advice to fellow p-platers, keep at least 2-4 cars lengths behind a taxi and try to predict wat they r trying to do next(be observant on the road), this will give you enuff time to react and will not catch you off guard.
If I offended anyone in my post above, I aplogise in advance. Just trying to make a point, not to start a war. Stay cool fellow drivers. -
Boo77 if u know me i'm not patient or tolerant.
And i'd let u scrap my car if u want, i'll take urs down with me, then we can go shop for a new one together -
besides i'm tolerant to certain people, but definately not road hoggers, hence the horn and the high beam.

because of road hoggers. the only thing that pisses me off on the road, even jams dun piss me off that muchOriginally posted by wuming78:or to put the topic in yet another way:
