Merging Lanes

[Nzy]

I am sick of hearing how people are so polite and keep

 

getting overtaken by the agressive driver who cut them

 

up from the back. I always like to hear from both sides

 

so can the drivers that overtake from the back and cut

 

into the slow driver please give us your take on this situation.

 

I am also sick of hearing here all the people that give way

 

when someone signals and wants to cut in. For a change

 

can we have the drivers that accelerate and cut off anyone

 

they see signalling. I only hear all the polite drivers here and

 

never see them on the road. It makes sense they are all too

 

busy posting here and never drive on the roads.

 

 

We always take things for granted and only remember those who don't give way to us. Try to count the number of people who give way when you signal and drive courteously. You'll realize that there are also many good drivers on the road. We just don't notice them because most of us only remember the bad things that happens instead of appreciating the good things.

Yes that's very true.

What's wrong with these drivers?

They just cannot understand merging lanes meant zipping up alternately.

 

3 x merging lanes on my way home, All 3 drivers, cannot merge properly.

 

One is a mini, then yellow cab,then other is a COE C180 coupe. The C180 guy even had his kid in the car.

 

Probably telling the child must win at all cost. Just suddenly cut in last min.

 

These guys got small brains big ego.

Most of such drivers i encounter the most at KPE.

 

Probably its the design of all the entry. Or they don't like my car blocking their view.

So many drivers who are behind must try their luck

 

to get in front until they realize they cannot go past

 

and then have to brake hard to avoid a crash.

 

The brains in these people have been hardwired to

 

try. They cannot stop even if they wanted to.

The Merc driver die die must go in front, and going to chevron was not an issue for him.

 

I let him win lor.

 

I hope he check his rear mirror and see I clap for him and two thumbs up.

i think every drivers have their fair share of expereinces regarding merging lanes...

the best is to exercise cautious coz if side swipe on the merging lanes chances are it will be a 50:50 percent case...no point getting into unneeded loses of time and monies for some 'inconsiderate' ass...2 cents

[Jamesc]

People spend too much time and money here cleaning

 

and polishing their cars. If you drive a car like this not many

 

people will try to overtake you on a merging lane.

 

 

 

[Jamesc]

To stop idiots squeezing you on a merging lane.

 

Signal and get into the middle early so there is no

 

room for them to squeeze past you.

[Atonchia]

If you got it on cam he went onto the Chevron

 

please send to TP so he can contribute to

 

nation building. Maybe if they get enough

 

no need to raise GST by 2% so soon.

 

Don't have side cams, only from and back.

[BobbyTan_74287]

I always signal and try to stay at center of merging lane. But if any car force, I will give way. No point fighting as gain nothing.

[Dark]

There are simply too many Hamilton wannabes on the road fighting for championship.

My experience with squeezers usually fit this profile:

 

1) PA/PC plate commercial vehicles like Hiace.

2) PHVs

3) Women drivers

i thought we have the standard give way to your right rule? usually i will let the car on my right go first then take his place. sometimes the car immediately after him just kiasu and wants to squeeze in front,, then let him win lor.

 

the most difficult road situation for me is filtering from minor to major road. when the minor road is angle in such a way you have to be an owel to turn your head 180 degree.

In merging lanes it is best to follow a zipper formation for a smooth transition.

 

Some people just like to squeeze and this adds time and frustration to the journey, not to mention frayed tempers and potential accidents.

Many motorists 'think' they have advantaged by squeeze in front and they lose if they are being squeezed out. Why are we acting this way and why can't we wait another few seconds? It is because of the 5 million population and our lack of time. Maybe a 30 hours week will help but let's ensure 44 hours week is being complied by law first.

I do not have the habit of going right into the centre of a merging lane for a simple reason. It look kind of kiasu.

 

But I do keep close to the front car so there is little chance for others to squeeze in.

 

That said, me no saint either.
