[Nzy]

But side always 50-50. Unless the merc got proof that u swerve into his lane suddenly and never signal.

[Yeshe]

yes.. if u or me are the merc driver.. any scratch confirm send back to c&c. but in this case i think the merc got jus some minor case .. no damage.. maybe polish can remove away. haha so TS is considered HENG

TS is lucky to meet such a kind uncle, should go temple and pray.

yup 30sec people might think u on signal by accident

exactly correct, 30 sec signal is misleading.

if you really want to cut queue, make sure signal at least three second and start move to the lane you tried to cut, and if needed just stop at the middle at the road, so people know you want to cut and don't keep moving straight.

Aiyah... Me damn sianz liaoz... Thought I've went into his lane le then he wacked me from behind....

Although I know U're feeling down due to this accident and I shouldn't rub salt into your wounds, I still hope U would improve on your situational awareness (I'm not underestimating your driving skills, I only state based on what U mentioned above), as you don't even know the relative positions of your car and other cars when U were changing lanes! Even when U are not cutting abruptly into another lane and slowly filtering in, U should be aware of the position and speed of the other car and whether he have the intention to let U filter in at any point of time, and to take actions like moving back to your own lane (but be careful of the car from the back which might be squeezing through as U are changing lane) or slowing down to let the car pass first.

My experience is that if you wind down your window and stick out your hand to indicate your intention to filter right (in addition to your signal indicator), more often than not, others will give way to you. I guess perhaps it is more "personal" than just the signal indicator.

 

Ya...totally agreed...this works well for me all the while. Remember to wave back as a sign of thanks
