agree your point, road hoggers create more accidents.

 

already very clear and easy to understand, why so difficult to digest

 

KEEP LEFT IF NOT OVERTAKING.

 

dont be a bad 'S' hole blocking and creating traffic jam la.

I guess it's pure selfishness that has been instilled in Singaporeans since birth... everything also want to be first... so naturally will want to go on the "free" lane and "fastest" lane....and at the same time dont bother about others...

if u see recently more ppl go to the express checkout counters in supermarkets even when they have a truck load of groceries...

Hi, cars are not supposed to be travelling at 110km/hour. if cars can travel at 20km/hour above speed limit, i find nothing wrong with vans travelling at 90km/hour.

 

Usually van drivers wont travel too fast when they are fully loaded but if they are fully loaded, then they usually keep to the left.

 

If the van uses right lanes for overtaking or that its speed is on par with the vehicles in front, there is no need for vans to keep left unless they are road hogging.

 

Yeah... but the pickup was tailgating me with my speed at 95km/h (on the center lane), the rightmost lane and the left lane were empty. If he was in a hurry, he could have just overtook me from the right (or even filtered to the left).

 

BTW, if there is a speed camera or mobile police, a car traveling at 110km/h would have been caught speeding. Traveling at 110km/h (or more) is ok, but please keep to the rightmost lane. And be prepared to be stopped for police intervention. If there is good reason like: wife going to deliver or friend in ICU, please go ahead, the police will understand.

 

In this case, that pickup was simply tailgating for cheap thrill. Other lanes were empty.

I was in the center lane.

whether is 2 car or 5 car length, this is not a foolproof solution.

 

when you drive, you dont just look at the front car ahead, instead is a few cars ahead.

 

1 car length is good enough.

 

if you know you car is a little faster, just slow down abit and maintain.

 

if the front car not kuai lan, nothing wil happen.

 

i only keep 2 car length away from taxi

 

Not just taxi, but also cars from Boleh land [lipsrsealed]

Hmm. Tailgaters are common nowadaes u see.. Wat do u see them as? Impatient or simply just always on the rush when driving. Seriouly, I 've nth against them, but if there is one or a few cars in front on mine which are slow and hogging in the lane, i think the car behind should not tailgate my car. I encountered tailgaters and I think most of them dont look far and tends to blame the hogging just on the car in front of them.

 

Thus, when countering them, I usually dont tap, cose tapping show the braking light. I just pull up the handbrake, and make sure the tailgater wont want to play any more stunt behind.

 

are u crazy?? [hur]

 

i doubt u have ever done that before because if u have done that, u probably wont be here posting. u wanna be drift queen issit? [shakehead]

Hmm.. Then u mean those drivers who tailgate are normal and should continue to tailgate u all the wae in such situation that there are already slower cars hogging in front of u. Won't the car tailgate behind u posing more danger to U?

 

2 wrong doesnt make 1 right? [shakehead]

hmm.. I know wat I'm doing.. I always check my mirrors and surroundings before I want to pull such a stunt in pulling the handbrake.

 

Secondly, I would consider whether the driver can take such a stunt, not easy to judge cose there is no warning for tailgater to stop if he or she is inexperienced in tailgating.

 

This is not ego, but to scare off the tailgater so that he or she would think twice before tailgating others again.

 

IF he is tailgating you, there is no way he can avoid collision if u pull the handbrake stunt. If he can avoid, that means he is not close enough to tailgate u !! [shakehead]

 

lastly, even if he can avoid the collision and the other innocent cars behind him got into chain acident because of your childish act, u occur to be shot [rifle][rifle][furious][whip][thumbsdown]

Cars in front and kena tailgate, tap tap brake litely should be okay. It is to tell the guy behind to stay at a safe distance. Nothing wrong with that.

 

No cars ahead and kena tailgate, tap tap brake is a no no. Just let the fella behind overtake you.
