Merging Lanes

Recommended Posts

Let us hope that driver need not have to learn through repeated accidents, how to drive in an orderly manner. [shakehead]

 

He knows lah. Can see from his style that he's pushing his luck and trying to scare people into getting that one vehicle ahead.

For hypermiling practice on a level road, I would simply ease off the accelerator pedal at least 100metres (about 4 lamppost) away, preferably 200 metres away.

but this way i may be hogging the lane.... how can!? :o

Don't bluff [:p] You keep left because you've realised that its usually the fastest lane [laugh]

i must admit on some roads the left most lane is the least congested.... but for me if it happens this way, it'll a added bonus i wont refuse :D it's free one, might as well take / use it [thumbsup]

I've been cutting the congestion by cycling. I find that whenever I use park connectors during peak hours, I actually get to my destinations faster than if I drove [laugh], and if I cycle on the roads, the extra time is marginal, e.g. home to cityhall is about 15/20mins by driving, takes me about 25/30mins when I cycle.

 

Unless its work or I have to ferry my gf and/or her mother around, I now cycle :D

come to think of it, if i lived along ECP, it may be good to use the cycling track to reach the city for work... may not save much time vs driving, but the exercise it gives is a bonus [:)]

Same. For me driving to where i work takes only 10min less than if I were to cycle. From work to home I can reach home faster by cycling because of the heavy traffic.

Whoever is ahead in those merging lanes has right of way. At the point of merging (where the white lines disappear), the one behind should always slow down a bit to make a way for the one ahead. Similarly the third car (behind the ahead one) should give way to second car and so on....

its a norm..happened too many times to even bother..the interesting stuff is that after the vehicle speed up to overtake..in front is either heavy traffic or jam..and that vehicle have to jam brake..this kind of crazy people aplenty [hur]

these crazy nuts normally are newbie, once your dirving age above 10 years, you'll never care who is in fornt at this moment [:p]

for me I always give way to these kind of nuts espceially thoes lorries, once enter expressway, slowly overtaking these lorries, enjoy the drivers' upset face :D

I guess our CB drivers think it is "merging cars" and not lanes. I have been practising positioning my car at centre in any oppotunity just before the actual merge.

same. once I have the clearance, I will 'merge' and travel on the center even though the eventual merge may be another 10m ahead.
