Lost while driving..
-
Shifted one of my posts from other forums over. Enjoy guys
Episode one: From Yishun to NUS, the longest route ever
Yishun onto Mandai road and then the Bukit Timah Expressway.
Following up was PIE towards Jurong. Decided to go out via Dunearn Road. Unfamiliar with traffic and hence too late to change lane. Missed Dunearn Road exit.
Nvm, continue up to PIE turn out at Clementi Road. Then our fabulous driver wanted to act smart and get out at NUH, so turn onto AYE when Clementi Road already so close to NUS.
Turn onto AYE but is AYE(Jurong)! Went off into the opposite direction of where driver wanted to go. Nvm, turn out of AYE(Jurong) at West Coast Way to U-turn and re-enter AYE towards Keppel. To driver's horror, can only re-enter AYE(Jurong)! (Private estate there directly open into AYE(Jurong)) Bobian, go all the way until Jurong Town Hall Road Science Centre and do a U-turn and go onto the AYE(Keppel). On way, drove extremely slowly to avoid missing exit again. Successfully managed to follow through to NUH and wanted to go through PGP hostel to get to back of NUS. Took wrong minor road INSIDE NUS and reached dead end. Backtracked and finally reached faculty. Parked and went to school.
Time when started: 0930h
Time reached: 1030h
Duration: 1 hour
Damage: Parking + petrol (dun ask how much)
Usual MRT+bus duration: 1 hour
Damage: MRT + bus (About $3+)

Episode Two: From NUS to NTU
Turn out from NUH exit onto AYE(Jurong). Wanted to exit at Jurong Town Hall exit. Managed to do so but was on the wrong lane, which led back to AYE(Keppel)! Got back onto AYE(Keppel) and exited at Clementi Ave 6. Wanted to try my luck on the PIE and went onto PIE(Tuas). Went straight all the way avoiding booby traps of side roads and went past Corporation Road. Just keep going straight will reach Jalan Bahar and NTU.
Somehow, when the PIE forked into left, KJE and right, PIE, the good judgement of the driver led the vehicle onto the lanes leading to KJE. Wonderful, was actually thinking of just going back home and cancel the appointment since already on KJE, BKE. But perseverance surfaced and driver turned out onto Bt Batok and re-enter PIE(Tuas). Managed to turn out into Jalan Bahar and get to NTU without anymore incidents.
Time when started: 1300h
Time reached: 1330h
Duration: 30 mins
Damage: Petrol (dunno how much)
Usual MRT+bus duration: 40 mins
Damage: MRT + bus (About $2.40) -

Then maybe those that you hang around with are people like you, who can only see what they want to see and not what they can be seeing.Originally posted by nww16:look at those ard u driving....who got lost most of the time.... -
those i hang ard r ppl who has better sense of direction n not seeing what we want to see...Originally posted by Subbx:Then maybe those that you hang around with are people like you, who can only see what they want to see and not what they can be seeing. -
maybe so, but it wasn't fair of u to make such a remark about women drivers, because most i know never have any problems finding their way around.Originally posted by nww16:those i hang ard r ppl who has better sense of direction n not seeing what we want to see...

For general info, the above driver has only gotten the licence for a few months and it was the first time the driver got onto an expressway alone. Looking at the situation, the incidents could have occurred regardless of the gender of the driver.Originally posted by nww16:those i hang ard r ppl who has better sense of direction n not seeing what we want to see...
Thus, i don't think it was very fair of you to state that it might have been a female driver because of the poor sense of direction you perceived the driver possessed. -
be on the rd more often n u will c the difference...Originally posted by HENG@:maybe so, but it wasn't fair of u to make such a remark about women drivers, because most i know never have any problems finding their way around.
ps: not all r lousy drivers...but they relli got no sense of directions....
