Friday night street races
-
Hey there,
Anyone here go to watch bengs street racing on Friday nights? How's about giving this young car enthusiast a ride to watch'em race? Would love to see one of these races.
I don't mind having buddies to go cruising on weekends. Too young to afford a car. Probably will never afford a fast car...sigh...the sad realities of living in Singapore. -

they are a nuisance, and they are hazardous to other road users.

totally agree....even drinking kopi there knowing there almost eveyone there likes cars is a good feeling...Originally posted by bismarck:still eye candy -
hmm...have to agree with u...but dont u agree that they are only a nuisance and a hazard for a short time only? cos they zoom pass u so pass then everything back to normal liao.Originally posted by sillyme:they are a nuisance, and they are hazardous to other road users.
U seem to hate fast cars, but in actual fact if everyone follow the street rules, nothing will happen. Like right most lane for overtaking and not road hoggin blah blah blah..
i mean seriously lah...nowadays on expressway..how many pple overtake on the right one....all the right lanes slow like hell...end up have to over take from left...some more left lane faster than right lane... -
yup.. you'll find dangerous driving almost everywhere, not just street racing..Originally posted by jiayong:hmm...have to agree with u...but dont u agree that they are only a nuisance and a hazard for a short time only? cos they zoom pass u so pass then everything back to normal liao.

though you mentioned that they are hazardous for a short moment.. at the same time disasters can happen if one loses a second of concentration.. -
last time used to go tuas end 40 lamp post...but after kena police case, i dare not go liao...heard nowadays the patrol cars there alot, many peeps avoid it...

No offends but, I need to highlight some things
I find this quote, very well said. I think I can find more accidents happening in expressways even if one is driving normally. The fault doesn't lie with you, but it's the other person to blame. So what? Accidents still can happen no matter who's fault it is. Not just "street racers" wannabes, to normal road users too.Originally posted by sillyme:yup.. you'll find dangerous driving almost everywhere, not just street racing..Originally posted by sillyme:though you mentioned that they are hazardous for a short moment.. at the same time disasters can happen if one loses a second of concentration..
Yes... tatz a big IF. When one is driving at tat kind of speed, could one lose concentration?? Yes, but hardly. Wat kind of "losing concentration?? Sleep?? ha ha!! No way, brother.
Wat kind of disaster can one do on only a straight road?? None. If tat "racer" can accident also on the straight road, I best suggest he just give up this "hobby", and go chiong ICE instead, or lose his life. I believe those "racers" dun install those good brakes like "brembo" for nothing, right?
But if one hits a jaywalker, the jaywalker deserves it. Wat are the predestrian crossings used for? Government build them there for fun?(I believe I'm going to get a lot of flames for this, bring it on) If the presdestrians wan safe passage, dun jaywalk. If they jaywalk and kana hit by vehicle, may god bless your soul. Not the driver's fault.
A jaywalker is no different from the racers wannabes. Wan excitment, you have to take the risk.
Once again, no offends.
Cheerz!! Itz Tiger Time!! -
the road is probably more dangerous than ppl who barely get their licenses and try to be schumacher with a corolla or with dad-bought-me-a-ferrari-for-my-18th-bday or worse, ppl W/O licenses anyhow drive than racers because these ppl know waht they are doing.
often, what kills you is what u cannot expect, not what u can expect.
for all u know, racers have good handling hence they dare to race, but when some noobs see them, they panic...swerve here swerve there....even god cant help u -
street r meant for driving... not racing. tts y its illegal to do so...
wana 'show off' skills? go to a proper track.....
play too much initial d.... -
just as pedestrian crossings are used for a safe passage across roads, roads are used for commuting from point A to point B. it's not built for racing mah.
racing should be done in a controlled environment. it's just that singapore does not have the venue for it. well, there legal races conducted in the early history of singapore but it was banned because of high accident rates.
are the races just on straight roads? i've seen them racing out of temasek avenue towards esplanade leh. -
try telling that to young drivers whose rich dads buy them ferraris and they start flooring the accelerator
-
if they visit this forum n mouth off i will.... now we'll jus stick to whos here...Originally posted by bismarck:try telling that to young drivers whose rich dads buy them ferraris and they start flooring the accelerator -
went to S11 with a friend of mine. Bladdy waste of time, very loud cars but all damn slow...
-
Agree about the jay walkers...im not racist or anything...but sometimes darker complexion pple wearing dark clothes at night and crossing the roads slowly...mann...with lights on and i couldnt even see them...luckily i was alert and when my lights caught them, i had to do a hard swerve....
Any comments about cyclist without lights and swaying from left to right taking almost one whole lane to themselves?
If the government put more responsibility onto the person outside the car..they wouldnt be so daring to perform such stunts. but unluckily...now no matter the case, most of the time it its the drivers fault and always kanna fine or suspend license to appease the victims family.
I yearn for the day that the judge rule "Driver has no fault..the victim was cycling and was swaying side to side and did not have proper lamps. Further more, he did not pay road tax to use the roads so I would have to fine his family for illegal usuage of the roads.."
hahah...abit over dramatic...but bottom line is...u are in control of your life...jaywalk? do it fast and make sure u check all directions. cycling? , no prob...get the proper lights and wear bright shirts...and follow traffic rules when u are on the road.. -
ya lor.. follow all the rules.. including the speed limit
