Pte "L" Plate instructor!! YOU FAIL!

[Alerine]

we are modern yet conservative. Hard to understand what a woman wants sometimes. Yes, if a person is considerate, it will show through his/her actions.

Technically he has right of way and you and your gf are jay walking.Can't blame him for horning as he didn't expect you to cross cause the man was red and there could have been a car in the opposite direction approaching?I expect many of us would have reacted the same way and yes,myself included.Driving instructors also human,when i was learning how to drive at one of the driving schools,my instructor tackled the corners using the "lorry" style i.e. palm on the steering wheel and turn to full lock.He even ask if i dare to try.When i was taking my test ppl jay walk across the road the tester also kpkb ask me to horn.Nowadays you see TP on the road also,look at the way the ride and drive and it makes even more sense.What to do,they are king.

 

Just try that on the driving test. Pedetrian has the right of way legally which is most important of all.

I will be sure to keep my distance. My experiences with ladies in big cars not giving way have serotype them as such. The only other group would be taxi drivers.

Dont worry.I wont do that. I know too well how accidents could happen as I read accident reports all the time and advising clients on their liabilities. The judge wont be lenient to me if I should cause an accident hahahaha

Here is a rant from pedestrians for a change. (myself and gf)

 

This story begins on friday when my gf is going down to BBDC to book her driving test after receiving the letter that she passed her advanced theory.

 

We come to a T junction, like this-> -| (see attached pic below) where we want to cross to road. We the the red dots and there's a pickup stopped on the left side, red lights.

 

The man shows red. But it is a red light for the cars on the left. It's a short road so we think just cross. After we cross halfway a "L" plate black car (i think is CIVIC, never see properly) turning right very fast and stopped before us, and he have the guts to horn loudly at us. My gf got quite a shock cause she's on my right.

 

At first i thought is a student, why so arrogant.. then I see only got this Indian man inside, so confirm is a driving teacher. I stopped walking and shake my head at him but he pretend never see just drive around us and off. So this driving teacher didn't know what is "ALWAYS GIVE WAY TO PEDESTRIANS?". Ironic isn't it?

 

How can this person be a driving instructor?

 

can check him out at the bbdc website and boycott the fella

What a nasty experience you had. I do give way to drivers who want to filter if they signal early enough. If they just rudely cut in, I horn just to show we female drivers are not that easily bullied.

haiyo, i encounter drivers who cut into my lane suddenely without signalling, when i'm obviously coming quite fast, and i have to brake hard to avoid kissing them. sometimes i have the time to horn, sometimes i don't, but most of the time when i horn, they'll stare at me as if i'm in the wrong..

 

quite a no. of men/women driving big cars who think they own the road..

 

also had my fair share of encountering kids talking their own sweet time jaywalking, kena horn from far, still continue crossing the road, aunties who don't want to walk on pavement when there is one, wobbly cyclist who suddenely lose balance, and on my right is a bus..

 

motorbikes who squeeze btw cars at high speeds, reving very loud to announce they r coming..

 

and best, cars who suddenely engage reverse gear at traffic light and would have reversed into me if i didn't horn

 

wah.. the list never ends..

wow, a long list of experiences. In fact, yesterday morning, while driving to work, there was this mercedez who was driving in the middle lane rather slowly unsure whether to keep to the same lane or intending to make a right turn. He drove and stepped on the brake and inching towards the right lane. Well must admit I was a bit impatient, gave a short horn. He ignored me and continued in the same mode. I got a bit peeved and overtook him on the left lane. I saw other drivers behind me doing the same. I think he stared at us nonchalantly and could not care less.
