Article: Tailgaters 0wn3d/pwn3d ?

[Joneses]

looks like most bros here cannot drive in arizona liao.. tailgating is this forum's "unofficial" sporting event

[Blackyv]

Let's do maths!

 

Vehicle separation at 60km/h is 33m because at that speed, that is the distance covered in 2 seconds.

At 100km/h it is 56m. More than 10 car lengths!

 

Based on the 2 second rule, everyone in Singapore is tailgating.

 

 

actually, i dont solely use the gap the car behind me as the only rule for tailgating,

 

i will use the term "pushing" to gauge is any car tailgating me or not.... normally, those who tailgates wanted to overtake and 100% of the time, they will get so near to the backside of a car ("pushing") thus the gap is so small and any jamming of brake of the front car has very high chance of getting a new bumper....i consider those who "pushes" tailgate....

 

btw, talk about tailgate, i was "pushed" by a lady driver yesterday and i just dont understand the logics and reasonale behind her push... i just kocked off from work, drive out of the MSCP of a JTC and there's where im being pushed!!!... im still inside the JTC area with a slow speed of ~20-30km/h..,... have not even go into the main road already being tailgated!!!...

From her driving style, you can tell she is the dominant type. She prefers to be on top

Pity her BF/Husband tho

[Blackyv]

Of course I dont wanna turn this thread into a Flag bashing thingy as these are from my own experiences. Then again, the way they cut lanes at customs really powerpack [/reply]

 

hi ther Rainging bro. me too travel to KL n Penang as often as once in 2 month. You are right about malaysia driving habits. I dnt haf the stress and headache driving in penang as compare to SG. Serious!!!

 

Malaysian keep left on the high at all times

signal properly wher they are going

Using signal to help u,tell u if its safe to over take

Most of them gif u time to over take when u r overtaking other car.

Hardly use horns.

 

Yes ther are a few jokers around. but back here. maybe more jokers

[Tomasky]

this country contains the most kiasu and ugly and shallow-minded people in the world, the unhappiest people in asia, what can u expect from the roads

[Superblackbox]

thts y i say stress and headaches + horning is wht we get driving in SG.... .

[Tomasky]

and speedsters on the road are the most miserable drivers

 

i sympathetize with them cos they are the most frustrated lot who don't enjoy their driving, they are venting out their frustration speeding on the roads

[Superblackbox]

ther are 2 kinds of speedster. One use brain. the other dnt use brain.

how many times u see dangerous driving on E way or OG. ..

 

roadhogs still the worst.then come speedters..

[Genie47]

They will get it and use it. If everyone only speeds in NSH but not here, they will need to generate more revenue.

[Superblackbox]

[Lokech34]

Hi there,

It that applied.More & more cars will cut into your lane if

u keep the 10 cars rules.

 

So what is the difference if u caught by TP for tailgates cars in

front of u.Never ending story.send away the cars & take public transport

less stressful.

[Redboy]

I only respect those who speed in a polite manner.

First, I will talk abt the reckless ones. These are speedsters who cut into other ppl's lane w/o signal & cause other ppl to brake for them. These just shows lack of judgement & skills.

Better still if they kenna horn or high-beam! Make them feel paiseh, especially in front of passengers they are trying to impress! These drivers might think they are cool & show off these so-called skills, but I, or even others beg to differ.

Now, talk about the good ones. They are the ones who will signal & cut nicely such that the car dun have to brake for them. Only these is considered skilful & deserve respect!

[Superblackbox]

totally agree with you....

those who think they knw whts driving like. best they kenna some lesson by the malaysian driver.. then they knw whts the proper way of driving...

[Carndablues]

Saw the stupidest thing tonight on the PIE, a subby TP had his rear light flashing the words, DO NOT TAILGATE, yet he was tailgating every single car in front of him! Go figure!
