-
Phew! Lucky didn't!
Early the mornin... Bout 6.20am liao bah... Me still sleepyheaded... But ok lah... Still mentally alert for the sake to concentrate on the road...
Was turnin left... There got stop line de lor... Check check my right, clear, left no car, mOve... Eh... At tat pt of stop line, didn bother check blind spot... Then tis guy... Suddenly dash out of the road, after i turn n moved a bit liao!
Lucky jus turn only... The speed is still very slow... Haven' speed up yet... Almost liao, till saw tis shadow dash out lik tat... Leg immediately go onto brake n slam! Not so bad as e-brake, coz speed still controllably slow...
I think think hor... If i got check my blindspot, will i notice him not??? I still think no, coz he cross is not from my blindspot area le... Haiz... Dunno... Mak me lik... Kinda guilty nev check blindspot... Once in a while only...
Ai yo... Dare not think if really knock him how ah! Dunno whose fault? My fault for not bein alert enough or his fault for dashin out lik tat? Will licence get revoked, police case, etc?
Another query...
I at the filter lane there... Jus enter in only lor... Got 2 lanes lah... Then tis motorcycle beside me... Left side... I saw in the side mirror... He lik super close to the car lik tat... Then i think mayb he will go to my blindspot, then cannot see him more jia lat... Coz he seems to want overtake...
So i move more to the right side to let him pass... End up he still continue behind lor...
Then my dad says next time don bother... U move abit more to the right, very dangerous... Etc... Dunno le!
So wat is the right thing tat i should do? Ignore? Thanks in advance!

.
your instructor never teach you to keep to the very left if you are in the left filter lane ah? mine once told me i must keep very very left to prevent motorcyles from squeezing through. lol. maybe he was talking nonsense but i like his idea though. -
blindspot? whats that? haha!!!
i almost ended the lifes of several motocyclists like tat hahaha little buggers popper out of no where while im turning from the filter lane. They should wear padding and extra thick helms to save their noggins shld german tanks like mine crush them haha

it's not nonsense my instrutor told me the same thing too. it's to prevent those motorcycles from squeezing beside u at the left.Originally posted by bmw_lover:your instructor never teach you to keep to the very left if you are in the left filter lane ah? mine once told me i must keep very very left to prevent motorcyles from squeezing through. lol. maybe he was talking nonsense but i like his idea though. -
motorcyclists are terrible creatures!! always want to squeeze in between... like so gan chiong.. even if check blind spot liao, dun have, den we start to go, they can suddenly zoom in and attempt to turn as we turn also.. dun they treasure their lives?!?!
anyway, no matter whose fault.. check is the best la.. if kill someone, think will guilty for whole life... -
i oso scared this kind of plp... they jus like to cross in front of the 1st vehicle especially at the juction... funny hor.. dunnoe how to walk a few steps, go behind the car then cross... much safer.. they jus dounoe how much a driver gotta look out forOriginally posted by ahkico:Phew!

edit:.. filter lane ah?? got zebra crosing anot.. if got then its a terrible mistake by you not checking for pedestrains b4 you move off.. if not then even if you bang him, its oso not ur fault coz he is jaywalking..oli thing is you juz gotta live with ur gulit -
Just drive normally, keep in your lane. The motorcyclist bang you, his fault. Just don't do stupid things like purposely blocking people. Drive NORMALLY.Originally posted by ahkico:Another query...

What the motorcyclist is doing is that he's probably waiting for you to accelerate. Because if a motorcycle wants to overtake, they can overtake you anytime. So like i said, make a mental note of where vehicles are around you, but just drive normally.
I always check my mirrors constantly whether i'm driving or riding. Do not reach a point where you just look straight and you only know the of the vehicles ahead of you. You gotta look out for those at the back and your side also. Develope the habit of checking your mirrors and blindspots and improve your SA (situational awareness) -
knocking regardless if you are right or wrong, you will still be charged that is all... so just drive safely and keep a look out for people crossing the road.. esp those places where both sides of the road have shops like serangoon rd.
