I think we have to go back to basic. Singapore road right most lane is for over-taking. If one is driving at constant speed, then should keep to middle or left lane. Then we won't have people complaining about road hogging or tail-gating.

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.

 

 

I should say less than half car length. if you do it singapore, 100% sure bang car infront.

No road hoggers = No tailgaters. End of story.

After reading this threads, a crazy scenario comes into my mind, if the roads are of unlimited lanes, just like an excel spreadsheet, I am just wondering, will the hoggers keep filtering right in search of the rightmost lane to hogged? Hmmm, kinda hilarious at the thought of it, same goes for taxis....

 

Anyway, I dun mind road hoggers, and yes, I filter from the left mostly if I encounter them on lane 1, dun bother me much since they are only obstacles to me just like a wall or a curb. Of coz, there are times when these walls or curbs will accelerate suddenly trying to rob me of the position that I want to be in, i.e. in front of them, but before they can do that, they will probably be staring at my tail-light.

 

Juz a suggestion to road hoggers, if you wanna hog, please hog safely, drive consistently at your speed and do not switch lane adruptly when you can see me trying to engage you on the left, leave the rest to me, I will disappear from your sight in no time, you safe I safe.

Thanks. If everyone agrees with your definition, then I am not tail-gater. I am usually 2 cars length behind.

But if I give 4-5 cars length, I will be the hogger?

Ah-ha.

 

So, a law abiding driver driving at 90km/h in lane 1 is a:

a) Road hogger?

b) Responsible driver?

c) An idiot?

Tailgating arouse due to road hogger.

 

Rule has been changed!!! But was not make known to everyone. Pls go get a basic theory book and read. travelling 90km/h on lane 1 doesn't mean one is not hogging. It only applies when there's no car behind. once there's a car behind, one has to speed up or give way. Tat's the problem here. When one passed the driving, the theory is left behind. One of the best waqy to resolved this, is to write in to TP n request them to book more road hoggers. So ppl will know travelling 90km/h on lane does not make u the king of the road.

 

I juz honk one hogger yesterday for a good 50 meters on TPE. I think i caught a lot of ppl's attention as I pressed the horn for a gd 20 seconds or so.

I do not understand the road limit for an overtaking lane. If the left lane is 90km/hr and the overtaking lane is also 90km/hr. Like that how to overtake?

Moreover, there are so many drivers who are sticking to this rule in the overtaking lane. Is the road hogger traveling at 90km/hr right or the tail-gater who is going to overtake at a higher speed correct?

[Ben5266]

If the road hogger is driving a Toyota, be it corolla, Rav4 or Camry, he/she is not at fault. Because his accelerator got stuck. Step step no response.

Same thing for tail-gater, if driving toyota, not at fault. "I let go of my accelerator already but my car still accelerating! Not me!"

If you are at 90kmh on right lane and the person wants to pass, you are hogging. He may be breaking the law by speeding but that is not up to you to enforce or reprimand is it? If you hoggers feel that its your moral right and duty to "prevent" speeding by hogging, go join TP la. Two wrongs dont make a right, tailgating you just because you are a dumb arse road hogger does not make the tailgater right, but if you didnt exist, he wont exist too.

 

I already give up convincing hoggers liao, half of them who dont read forums thinks they are right. They are also very nice ppl irl... My GF's brother and herself are serial roadhoggers when i first knew them man. They are also clueless that they are wrong. After driving them out 1 day and meeting a hogger, i went infront of the hogger on CTE and drove at 40-50kmh. I told them "Im not breaking the law either, im within the speed limit but can you see how #$%%$@#$@ annoying it is to the ppl behind?"

 

Two less road hoggers on the road :)
