kdash Supersonic November 11, 2017 Share November 11, 2017 Yesterday tpe evening towards punggol.. got accident.. likely due to rain. Kns a usual 20 min journey become over 1 hour crawl. Some dudes really dunno how to drive in wet conditions.

DACH Supersonic November 11, 2017 Share November 11, 2017 Guys, it's going to be a rainy weekend. Drive safe, everyone. Don't tailgate and drive at lower speeds on the wet roads. Be aware of the surrounding vehicles. Switch on your headlights if the rain is heavy. Switch on your hazard lights if the rain is very heavy. If the visibility is too low due to extreme rain conditions, stop somewhere and resume the journey when the rain becomes lighter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the visibility is too low due to extreme rain conditions, stop somewhere and resume the journey when the rain becomes lighter. Actually switching on hazard lights while on the move can be confusing cos people may not know your intention, turning or stopping or stopped. And if u need to filter, how.. Off hazard then signal then on back again after completing the filters? Better instead switch on head lights and rear fogs if equipped. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard lights will just confuse some confuse bugger. Plus, if its pouring heavily, don't road hog the right lane. Still got faster cars with bigger balls want to chiong all the way. Slow turtle should keep extreme left. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TameDriver Twincharged November 12, 2017 Share November 12, 2017 (edited) Actually switching on hazard lights while on the move can be confusing cos people may not know your intention, turning or stopping or stopped. And if u need to filter, how.. Off hazard then signal then on back again after completing the filters? Better instead switch on head lights and rear fogs if equipped. Driving with hazard lights on is confusing & dangerous to other road users. Although some make/model of cars can override hazard lights when right/left signal is activated, It is Safer to switch on Full Headlights & Fog lights to improve our vehicle Visibility to Others. And there's another type of driver who won't switch on headlights in heavy rain for fear of wearing out their bulbs or becos it's not sundown yet. This type are Idiots who don't value their lives ( and that of their passengers). By making one's car as brightly lit as possible in a downpour could avert danger of others ramming into it due to the poor visibility.

13177 Supersonic November 12, 2017 Share November 12, 2017 PHVs are the new taxis nowadays... Stressful to drive on the road now, cause last time only need to look out taxis but now also need to look out for PHV! Just now on the road, one taxi nearly hit onto another car when suddenly people flag at the taxi, and the taxi was at 2nd lane suddenly turned to the left lane without looking out for cars on the left lane! I really wonder whats on the mind of these taxi driver? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wonder whats on the mind of these taxi driver? these taxi and PHV drivers are on the road for long periods of time every day. maybe the lack of personal involvement in accidents have emboldened them to pretty much do whatever they want on the roads, thinking that other drivers will siam them and nothing will happen. nowadays with Grab/Uber, the number of flag-down passengers has reduced greatly, making the taxi drivers even more desperate to get the business... no excuse for them to drive dangerously though. we just have to be more careful... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baleno 4th Gear November 12, 2017 Share November 12, 2017 I think the wet weather these past days due to early year end monsoon. Find the cool weather shiok, people around me less irritable. Wish it could be like this all the time, without frequent rain of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate to get business or long periods of time on road doesnt justify they can do whatever they want on the road lo, cause they will get others people into trouble. Many times even i am careful but if these taxi drivers drive without looking out and think for others, i would still get into accident. Like the incidence i mentioned just now, if the car drive just a little bit faster ahead, the taxi confirmed will hit the car when the driver just like this change his lane without checking, no way the car can be careful.

Assume rather than be cautious. That's one of the reasons accidents happen. we can only be even more cautious on the roads, to watch out for such drivers... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
