Loki Supersonic May 10, 2016 Share May 10, 2016 Then we are doomed. You have: - trucks/good vehicles cutting into middle and right lanes to overtake other trucks/goods vehicles - drivers who road hog - kayu drivers who brake for no reason or when the expressway curves even slightly - motorbikes weaving in and out and causing cars to brake - cars that squeeze in to change lanes whether there is enough space or not, forcing other to brake - kaypo drivers looking at accidents on the other side of the road - and as someone mentioned, people who jam brake to put in cash card No wonder our roads are always jammed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xers007 Supercharged May 10, 2016 Share May 10, 2016 (edited) to help alleviate this phantom jam, try to keep a distance from the car infront so to prevent totally stopping. There are research done that this method helps. Edited May 10, 2016 by Xers007 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzy Twincharged May 10, 2016 Share May 10, 2016 Keeping a safe distance will reduce this kind of jams. Even if there is a hogger infront, the person behind shouldn't be that stupid to tailgate. A hogger won't give way even if you tailgate. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam7770 4th Gear May 10, 2016 Share May 10, 2016 This is well known - unnecessary change of speed causes jams - well it should be anyway. Advanced / aware drivers in heavy flowing traffic try to avoid adding their own brake lights to a brake light cascade ahead of them by using engine braking only unless they absolutely must step on the brakes (smoothly and all in good time before somebody jumps on this statement and deliberately misconstrues it). There will normally be a jam at the upward section of an underpass, because most drivers invariably fail to maintain their speed up the hill (even cruise control will get caught out for a moment)... there is not much we can do about it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wt_know Supersonic May 10, 2016 Share May 10, 2016 (edited) spore more tok kong la opposite direction got accident also can cause traffic jam on this side that has no accident ... more powderful than phantom! when see a police car park at shoulder ... also cause traffic jam ... all kaypoh to see smlj or in their mind cursing "not me not me ... wa bo speeding" . . . this kind of phantom jam appear everyday in orchard road la most outer lane ... slow down till turtle speed ... cut to most inner lane ... to turn or alight passenger . . . then on the most left lane ... 1-after-1 bus exiting bus bay ... . . . how to travel at constant speed of 30kmph ... sure pass thru orchard road smooth like butter Edited May 10, 2016 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I don't think it's that well known... and also it's unavoidable. Cars are unable to all travel at the same speed without slowing down. That is one of the advantages they are pushing for driverless cars that can communicate with each other and adjust their speeds to smooth out jams automatically.
