Peterlim808 Neutral Newbie May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 Good advice. As for the permanent "You Owe Them Money" look, don't you think most Singapore men/woman grow into that look once they hit their 50s? Sadly true... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_ole 1st Gear May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 Stress aside I think its more like drivers attutides have changed... When you're gracious, people abuse your gracious attitute. How often do you see drivers giving way on the expressway when another signals his/her intension? When you choose to give way, these people choose to be selective & find other means if not "cut in" when you think they've changed their minds.. How often do you see drivers driving on 2 lanes cos they're undecided or plain selfish.. When you high beam they get offended when you horn they also get offended. With in-car cams, I see benefits in finding such b******s and if better get them off our roads for good. If you need your car for a living would you be doing all these "stunts". Its obvious they don't.. Just my 2 cents worth.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingenius Turbocharged May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 (edited) Road rage is mostly due to huge ego more than stress. if have stress why you dont beat someone up while watching a movie, while queueing for anything, or while walking on the road ? Nothing to do with stress or gahment. Pls la, even if want to blame gahment for this and that, also be more logical la. hopeless ..

Ingenius Turbocharged May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 (edited) In Singapore if you are a good driver as in follow the rules, always signal, check blind spot, give way, dont jump queue or change lane abruptly etc etc, you will end up frustrated and infuriated by other drivers who dont follow the rules. then will get into quarrels and rage. this is call self righteousness. anyway, from my many years of experience of driving, i gather that best is to drive defensively , and also learnt to swallow your pride and ego.

While most of the time I tend to just give way and let it go, I draw a line when a situation really endangers me or other road users. I still merely curse and swear in the confines of my own car when that usually happens. However, if the offender is not apologetic and show his displeasure or even try to challenge you because you honked out of warning... I cannot control the rage.

It is only natural. i had one case where i horned a car out of warning (he was stationary in lane 1 and appeared like wanting to cut into lane 2 anytime) as i passed him, this ah beng obviously unhappy due to his huge ego, he stopped his car next to mine at the next traffic light and curse and swear. I was surprised at this over-exagerated reaction, and realised there is no point reasoning with him, and i look at him amusingly. since he is not being reasonable there is no point getting into a argument with this type of people. you won't win. the only thing you can get out of this is a fight. There is a saying, it is better to be a live chicken, then a dead duck. Edited May 30, 2013 by Ingenius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a similar incident recently too, only I was on the first lane and this mofo stationary and stuck in lane 2, swerved out into my lane when I was just meters away causing me to e-brake (ABS and all) and skidded to my right (luckily got filter lane to turn right ahead). I missed him by mere inches at a stop! When I question him at the next traffic lights he claimed.. "I got signal, you don't want to give way these's nothing I can do" ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
