Tail-gaters

[Joseph22]

After driven in KL, i think MY drivers are all tailgater. I mean all, not most.

 

KL different lah, they are more or less the same as singaporean. Same behaviour too.

[Tigershark1976]

yes the "LIMIT" is 70km/h... we want to GO FASTER... why can't you just LET US GO FASTER?

 

 

guess u either become our PM, so that TP will clear the traffic for you or u better use helicopter then... TS alrd mentioned, the whole tunnel is full with car, how to go fast??

[Tigershark1976]

yeah agreed with most of this. sometimes i am already tailgating the car in front and yet someone behind still want to tailgate me

 

 

 

maybe instead of a "meaty tap", TS might consider giving 3 quick n very gentle taps (just tap enough to light up the brake lights but wont slow down the veh), i find this a safer n effective way to tell tailgaters to back off

 

 

 

in this situation, thats one of the way i will do, gentle tap on the brake, a few times, to make the tailgater keep a way from me.

[Tigershark1976]

for me, if the civic tailgate me in this situation whereby i cannot go faster, i will either slow down a bit, to keep a safe distance from the car in front, or i will choose to move to lane 2. it is better to be a live chicken than a dead duck.

 

 

bro vextan, i think ur suggestion is the best among all reply... keeping further distance from the car at the front = more response time for you and the tailgater.

Sometimes I would think that I am driving in the USA as I have to overtake from the left most of the times. There are too many Road Hoggers on the right lane and they really think that they own that lane.

 

As if by giving way for fast moving vehicle will loose a lot of money.

 

 

Eh.... I thought in the USA, left is the fastest lane???

Whatever it is, hogger or tailgater, please think of safety first!!!

Actually everywhere is the same lah... i have seen... USA, China, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, India,

 

But in Germany.... if the cars on the autobahn are fast.... I don't see the germans hog, cuz the fastest lane is really for fast car, at least 180km/h and above.... anyone can correct me if i m wrong.

[Tigershark1976]

that is the thing about KPE. On that, we have 2 types of drivers:

 

1. Dont know where exactly are the speed cams, so keep strictly to 70-80 on any lane. But chances are they will be on right lane.

2. Those that knows all the locations of the cams very well. They tend to drive very fast on the 'safe' stretches.

 

I belong to 1. So always drive ard 75 on lane 1. Then will see fast approaching lights from behind.. just filter left let them pass lor... im always amazed some cars really zoom past at certain stretches... maybe nx time i follow these car closely sure wont kena snapped right?

 

 

still got 3rd catagory.... the type who travel below 70km/hr and im under this catagory

Certain portion of it have no speed limit hor! if kanan accident, prepare to submit IC!

2) psychology. we will percived the tunnels as narrower thus we may over compensate if we are travelling too fast and that will deifintiely lead to an accident.

 

we should respect the speed limiti tunnel to ensure the safety of our selves and fellow drivers.

 

Like the rochor road overbridge on ECP now that got extra lane - many many of the right lane drivers like to makan the 2nd right lane cus scared of the concrete barrier.....especailly on the left hander at the top. If I travel 2nd left lane always make allowance for this...

i dont tailgate hoggers, just hog them back if you have the time.

Go infront of them drive at 40-50. Say safety issue lor, scared 2 go fast. Tell them go overtake u frm left instead.

[Klayhead]

pls don't hog those cars with baby on board sign.. very dangerous

[Klayhead]

oops.. i mean dun tailgate

[Ben5266]

Actually, how do we define tailgate?

The behind car is half car length behind? or

1 car length?

2 car length?

3 car length?

4 car length?

When the speed is 80-90kph.

 

 

[Vroomtattat]

Tailgaters are like stuntmen . . . . everytime I encounter a tailgater I'll speed up if I'm too slow or change lane and give way.
