3ply 1st Gear February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 What do you do? I usually try to indicate to the driver by using the 'twinkle twinkle star' hand signal, but 2 recent incidents is making me think twice. The first time after indicating to the driver, the driver turn on the head lights, wind down his window and show me the finger. The second, which just happened, the driver kept flashing his high beam at me and tailgate me for a considerable distance. Wrong to indicate driver he forgot to turn on his head lights? ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 I used to wind down the window and tell the driver but now I can't be bothered. Now I see even more drivers left the fuel cap cover pop open or rather not closed properly. I can't be bothered also. LoL... See too many of such drivers. Why should I be reminding them? There are indicators in their dash and mirrors to check whether the cover is properly closed. Kayu drivers. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of 10, only 2-3 drivers will get this Sotong to the max I used to wind down the window and tell the driver but now I can't be bothered.

It is not hazard to other drivers. And some car dun have indicators saying that fuel cap is not closed properly and conti cars fuel cap cant close fully when u lock the car 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Turbocharged February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 Out of 10, only 2-3 drivers will get this Those that got it are normally the car enthusiasts. This group of drivers have better situation awareness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunset73 5th Gear February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 It is more difficult to indicate tyre puncture ! There is some gadget you can install to monitor your tyre pressure. It will show you via a small screen on your dashboard. Those that got it are normally the car enthusiasts. This group of drivers have better situation awareness. Nowadays.. Many cars got auto lights or even self-illuminated instrument cluster. As a result, many people conveniently "forget" to turn on their headlights at night because back in our old fashioned mind, in our old fashioned cars, Instrument cluster illuminated = head light/pole light on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowrider 2nd Gear February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 I encountered one last night. I followed the car for some distance. I turned off my headlamps and turned them on again. A few seconds later, that car's lamps were turned ON! Good.... but not good for those with HID lights to do on/off simultaneously... I'm just sayin'...

No need to get upset when u meet rude ppl la... juz tell yourself... 对得起自己... personally, i see i will still tell regardless of the response from the driver.. as long as there is a tiny possibility that driver turn on headlights can help him/her avoid an accident.. its worth the effort... btw... if on expressway... i steer clear if i deem dangerous .. if on normal roads.. usually drive beside, tap horn, smile and indicate wat i want to say... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be careful when you play "twinkle twinkle star" hand signal. Female drivers may think it's sexual harassment. Maybe that's why they are so pissed off. Haha. I usually don't do anything to tell them, because no good way to do so. 1) Tap horn - later he dun get the message, not happy, how? Spoil my day. 2) Flash high beam - same as #1. 3) On/off headlights - I have HID headlights. Not going to damage them. 4) Pull alongside and hand signal - I have a few choice hand signals, but none are appropriate for this. So, i normally just stay clear of them.
