Rain or Shine turtles keep out of 1st Lane

Please... you do not own the road.... if your driving is weak, the 1st lane doesn't deserve a driver like you.

Speed limit is 90... what are you doing on the 1st lane at 70km/h on the 1st lane even in the rain????

You go even slower in the bends!!!!! When is raining in the bends... you can drop speed to 50km/h.... isn't it no difference from lane 2??

To Look good... let people admire your car or just so to be a kind soul to stop people from going faster than you?

Like i said... if you are weak, move to the 2nd lane for beginner or weak drivers. We do not need your braking and your red tail lights to come on when you're in the 1st lane.

If you say lane 2 and 3 is slow.... then I'll say to you... you are no better than lane 2 or 3.

 

I have so much more to say.... maybe i'll save some for later....

 

Dude, I see your point and yes they should just move over but remember, it doesnt give you the right or the excuse to tailgate, which will make both party wrong, and any impending accident nasty.

 

Not you, but some people have the "as long as I am faster than you in 1st lane you are road-hogging" mentality, even when you are more than 20kmh over the speed limit or where it is not safe to give way for him to overtake (perhaps he is too close and if both happens to change at the same time - one to giveway and the one behind to overtake - at this kind of distance, likelihood of accident very high), that is scary and barbaric, if skill is good, overtake left or right side and move on.

 

The slow fellow stared at you because you tailgated that bugger?

 

Cheer up, insurance sky high and enough congestion already, dun contribute further to it whether you are at fault or not.

 

Forgot to say this - you do have the right to vent your frustration in here, throw out your thoughts here rather than pent it up and do something stupid on the road. Cheers! [cool]

Why are you blaming the TS?

 

If the turtle didn't road hog in the first place, you think TS need to tail gate?

 

Today I ran into several - it wasn't even raining any more but some drivers in lane 1 wanted to maintain like 5-car length behind the car in front of them while driving at 70km/h niah...

 

Then what happens? Cars are just slotting in from the left in front of them and they slow to maintain that same 5-car length...end up making everyone behind them suffer...

I think this is the result of how we are all trained when we were taking our driving license.

 

These are my impressions (as far as I can recall - it's been years ago) of it:

 

A) Basic/Advanced Theory MCQ

- When in doubt, choose the answer that says SLOW DOWN.

 

B) Practical

- SLOW DOWN when approaching junction/crossing/anything of note

- SLOW DOWN when raining

- Must demonstrate to tester that you SLOW DOWN & check this check that

- Cannot exceed L-Plate speed limit of 50 km/h

 

Basically the word S.L.O.W. has been hardwired into many since Day One [rolleyes]

It used to puzzle me why there are road hoggers who want to chase you after you overtake them, turn on high beam on you etc . Now, I've learnt to accept that what I see on the roads is similar to that of the society. There's nothing you can do to change, it's all part and parcel of living here in Singapore.

Yo, I am merely giving my two cents worth, not to the extent of blaming the TS, depends on how you look at it and how you feel "affiliated" to the situation. I have my fair share of tailgating and being tailgated, and I felt frustrated in either cases, perhaps just like how you feel....all the knns, ccbs rattling endlessly in my mind and occasionally thru my mouth.

Yo exactly man! Whether on the road, in the office, at the food centre...

 

Road hoggers may be wrong but tailgaters may not be right in the first place too. Has to look at the whole situation first...

 

Cheers.

To me its simple. If there is a car coming up behind you fast than you are going and if there is space for you to move aside, you are hogging.

 

If car behind can overtake you on the left and then filter into your lane, you are hogging. (if there is space for the rear car to do the overtaking, there is space and time for front car to give way in the first place).

 

Tailgating is when the front car has cars in front of him and no way for him to close the gap safely...if you push on, you are tailgating.

 

So it does not matter if you are travelling above speed limit or at limit....if there is someone faster behind you and there is space for you to give way...just keep left. If you like to enforce the speed limit...go be a traffic police.

I am getting more & more fed-up with those slow-poke drivers (especially vans, trucks) who drive in the right lane at a slow speed. Even their pick-up from a red light is so slow, they cause the whole line of cars behind them to waste time as they try to pick up speed, if they r even trying.

 

I see so many nowadays. 3 lanes & all with heavy vehicles driving slowly blocking other faster vehicles.

 

Makes driving very dangerous as many pple now have no choice but to overtake on the left.

 

Please please Mr. TP, do your job & keep those tortoises out of the fast lane.

You used Keppel Viaduct? I face this every week day, and their tyres pick up debris and threw the stones and whatever at the car...paint work also a bit not nice now. To me they are the most dangerous because they know they have got nothing to lose.

Damm inconsiderate pple. They sud all b lined up remove their pants & bend down. Then get Raleighsingh to go behind & shoot one by one.

I think I know who you're talking about. He had it printed on his licence plate. We both move in the same Subaru circles - he tuned his own Unichip once right?

i wonder who is more dangerous... speedsters or hoggers....or ppl who dun signal...

but if u wana speed then better know u can control, keep left unless overtaking.

 

still, without those idiot hoggers, i would have no chance to to test my horns and high beams.

remember guys, There will never be a cure for stupidity. let the hoggers roam in thier own world and hope the SPF start work soon...

 

new workyear coming...start a "Do not RoadHog" campaign! Keep left if your speed is slower than the car behind!

Rain or shine, i always end up travelling faster on lanes 3 and 4 of the CTE right after the PIE intersection towards town. A shift towards left hand drive perhaps?

 

So True. [:p]
