Kingkong 5th Gear April 21, 2007 Share April 21, 2007 I think there are 2 lanes for the right turn at that junction. Maybe you can keep in the correct lane when you make the turn next time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icekitten Clutched April 21, 2007 Share April 21, 2007 'Big' cars again... Just yesterday, my hubby was turning right from Bendemeer to PIE. Right when the lanes began to merge, this Mark X who was on our right behind us sped up to squeeze ahead of us. Like that still nvm. Later, the lane split to Kallang Way or PIE and for the PIE one, it's 2 merging lanes again. This time we were on the right lane with the Mark X on the left lane in front of us and all clear in front of him. This was way before the 2 lanes began to merge. He saw us travelling faster than him and just as we were coming to pass him, he purposely drove a little past the dividing line, just crossing into our lane and preventing us from going ahead of him. What an arse! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeshe Turbocharged April 21, 2007 Author Share April 21, 2007 yes, you are right, i was first to reach that junction and since the left side lane can go straight or right, i decide not to block any traffic in case any cars wanna go straight. guess that gesture was not appreciated and in the future, i will hack care and hog the left of a right turn lane even if the right side is empty.

Yeshe Turbocharged April 21, 2007 Author Share April 21, 2007 yo sis, somehow there will be drivers that drive like they own the road. these drivers will also think that their ride is super good, can cup corner, sneeze here n there with ease, in short with no consideration of other road users. sometimes i think that as long as i do my part to be a considerate road user, others will appreciate, however its never enough.

Good intentions but bad execution - next time please just take the proper lane from the start - as a fellow driver familiar with that junction, I rather you take the outer turning lane than to try and cut in later.

SG is already so small, with junctions every 200-300m, with inconsiderate drivers like you no wonder everyday got accident.. knnz your problem, very common and easy. since u are the 1st car, just step on your accelerator and pick up faster and then as u are the 1st thru the bend, signal left and filter left lor. why bother to pace the cefiro? just pick up fast and switch lanes since u r the 1st. then if really cannot, just let the alfa pass and then filter behind him lor. just slow down with your left signal on, the cars behind can see and will understand. then filter left when u got chance. actually is a very simple and common thing leh :) but nvm just let it out and forget about it. no accident or injury or damage. nvm..

What an arse! let it be. u see, since u have no intention to damage either your car or his car, and in such a case, if u r game for it you can harrass him as well by blocking him etc. its not as if he will kill u.........at most just accident and damage. small cars also can harass big cars. but believeing that u are a sensible fella, just fall back, change lane, on your music louder and enjoy the ride. star into your husband's face and tell him how handsome he is and concentrate on him instead. then enjoy the ride home :) no need to get angry one.

Chilli_crab 2nd Gear April 22, 2007 Share April 22, 2007 I know that place too. The Alfa driver probably wanted you to use the correct lane to turn left instead of forcing your way in, as if you were cutting queue. I've been through the Alfa's position a few times in the past, and I was certainly pissed of that people just can't be bothered to use the proper lane. Even if it's the first time there, why can't they signal and wait for the rest on the correct lane to move off before following at the back? Already on the wrong lane and still insist on cutting in. That's probably what angered the Alfa driver. Your intention not to hold up traffic going straight is to be commended. Maybe, just not for this junction. Anyway, if both of you were to sit down and talk about it, you'll realise it's nothing more than a misunderstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I frequently go IMM, and know the junction you talking about.... But I usually stick to the 2nd lane from right (i.e. can go straight or turn right) but always switch on turning signal in advance because as you've mentioned, just 100 m away need to make a left turn into IMM.... And given the traffic situation on the road leading into IMM, it is rather crowded at times.... Nice gesture, but not practical. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
