do not wish to explain myself anymore because i can see where this thread is going to go to.

 

would like to apologise for:

(1) overtaking the cars in centre lane by using the right lane;

(2) not allowing the car behind me to overtake when he suddenly appear out of nowhere as i felt at that point in time that it was not safe to do so. afterall, it happened at a bend.

 

just want to end off by saying that sometimes, sxxt happens and everyone is entitled to their own personal honest opinions.

 

goodbye and safe driving to all.

 

Bro, take heart. Some people in this forum post as if they use their ass to think. Learn to ignore these people. Cheer up! You know very well your complains are read by many. Some who agree with may or may not post. Similarly, some who disagree may or may not post.

I just feel that many Singaporeans are an inconsiderate lots. They just don't understand that the lane 1 is for overtaking. I could be travelling at 100km/h or be it 120km/h, the minute i see a vehicle coming from behind closing up, i would just filter left to let him pass. It's bcos he's faster, that's all. Unless sometimes, i would just step on the gas to pull away. The main idea, is not to block anyones way like u owned the road. This mentality, i see, is very often practised up north, on malaysia roads. Most ppl there very automatic, even sg cars.

If i were to be the TS, i would've just slowed down to lane 2's speed, signaled, and moved in. After subaru passed, signaled and moved back to lane 1. Just bcos i'm travelling 90km/h doesn't mean that i can hold back all the traffic behind me.

Sometimes I really wonder how many of you MCF folks really drive. How come so many claim to give way and not road hog and yet I dun see it being practised on the roads everyday? There are too many good folks with good theory here but practical is [shakehead][idea]

I definitely stand by my claim that i definitely do not hog. Am always frustrated by drivers blocking the road infront.

Can't say much about u too. Probably u belong to the road hogging group? Do YOU drive? You're just a kid? Maybe next time u should learn to think before u speak. [hur]

sorry, no choice... must reply to someone... not intend to point at anyone

 

 

yes, which means the TS is able to give way and let the car behind to overtake.[/reply]

 

not really...

ever consider this? to move from a faster lane to a slower lane is a tight situation, one will need to be able to slow down to match the speed of the vehicle that is in the slower lane that is ahead of you.

 

now, consider this, if the car behind you at this moment is very close to your behind, can you slow down to be able to safely filter over? or will you just swing over first than slam you brakes to avoid hitting the other slower car? in other words, will you risk you life and that of your passenger in order to give way to the faster car behind?

 

as to how the other guy managed to squeeze over twice, perhaps, there is no other car behind him to prevent him from slowing down? so could it be that the faster car is actually preventing the one infront from giving way?

To answer your post.

 

1) Signal your intention to filter to the 2nd lane.

2) Drop your speed if necessary to perform the filtering.

3) Disregard the horning and flashing of the car behind while trying to filter.

4) Perform the filtering safety and steadily.

5) Filter back after giving way to the faster car(s) behind.

 

It doesn't matter how fast you or the car behind travels, if you are on lane 1 you need to give way.

I don't think it's as bad as risking your life la.

 

It's about skill and handling of your car. If you're not confident of your own handling then of course you won't dare to lane-change like that and give way.

 

If it's as tight as have to slam brakes, and I mean really jam brake instead of braking, upon filtering to the slower lane, then it really doesn't make sense that the Subaru TS can filter over halfway twice.

 

Anyway, I think that the whole story is being exaggerated. Esp the 150km/h part. And the way the threadstarter could observe every detail of the behaviour of the Subaru so clearly, makes me wonder if he/she was indeed intending to change lanes and give way as he/she claimed.

does this phrase sounds familiar? "keep left unless overtaking"

 

if you are not fast enuff, just keep left. u can always filter back to the right when there's no vehicle.

it's true that "mostly" sg cars in sg roads like to road hog.

for those who glance the rear view mirror often are 99.99% non road hoggers.

this is because of 2 reason :

1. since he/she check rear view mirror often, chances for ppl to tailgate is 0.01% (there will be no tailgaters if there is no road hoggers)

2. he/she is "fast n furious" driver, no chance for road hog

I am one of those who glance rear view mirror often.

Dunno if you encounter this type of fast&furious drivers sometimes.

On rightmost lane when you see a faster-moving veh behind, you signal & move left to try and give way. However, this faster-moving veh react faster and move left as well, almost causing an accident. [sweatdrop]

Even if u are traveling at 150km/h, when my grandma tailgates you, u bloody move...

 

Pt. is lane 1 is for overtaking. Period. look into your rear view mirror more often pls n take necessary actions with anticipation.

 

Which is the faster lane than lane 1, between lane 1 and 2.

When times come to the pt where both lane 1 and 2 are jammed, vehicles from both lanes make way between them for ambulances, etc to pass thru.

common sense for another countries...

If only more people thought like the majority in this thread and drove like that, our roads would be much more pleasant to drive in. Live and let live, for graciousness is a virtue to behold regardless of reciprocation. Just my rantings...
