Hi Selespeed156,

 

I agree with you about drivers hogging the right lanes. To me, the right lane is for overtaking, so if one is not overtaking, pls take the lane on the left. You can still stay in the overtaking lane as long as there's no one around but if you do see anyone behind coming up, pls let them pass. I have encountered various cars which stay in the overtaking lane and drive strictly at 80km/h....with a looong convoy of cars waiting behind. [shakehead]

Can't really blame them. We live in a heavily urbanised enviroment where road space is a premium. Generally, it is assumed that what is right here is the right thing to do at other places too.

 

What I really can't understand is littering! [furious]

Yup, my first time going up the NS highway and I found that most M'sian drivers do change lane to let us pass if they see you coming up behind them. And if they come up behind you and maybe you didnt see them, they'll turn on their right signal indicator to let you know thwy want to overtake. [nod]

Yeah....the last time some of us (Autospeed) went up in convoy.....we approached many, many Malaysian cars that gave way to us as we approached them at crazy (to us) speeds.

There was only a WRX (Malaysian) and probably several Singapore cars that didn't realise how "slowly" they were going on the right lane!

.....we ended up overtaking some SG cars on the left...... [:|]

The worse kind of littering on the roads...I feel anyway...is when drivers throw their cigarette buts out the window !! [furious]

 

Can usually spot them easily coz they have one entire arm sticking out the window as if they are trying to prevent their drivers side door from falling off or something. Then they either flick the cig butt or just drop it along the road and drive off. Seen it so many times..... [shakehead]

You'll be surprised at how many drivers in SG probably think that the extreme right lane is for 90kmh only and u r not supposed to overtake them if they r already going at that speed. Hence, by that definition, they r not "road hogging". And if the next lane got no cars, anyone who wants to break the speed limit can still overtake on the left what. Found this out many times when i casually asked around. Sigh......... [:(]

 

Agree driving in SG has it's highs n lows. High coz got many excellent roads here (hardly any potholes, well mantained, etc), low coz too many BAD drivers around. [mad]

Not sometimes, Always!

Especially on Highway, they give way more than the S'pore plates.

Not to mention boorish behaviour! [sweatdrop]

 

My friend was in Samui with his family, and there were a few SG families together. He noticed during breakfast, there was a stand where a chap was preparing a few types of eggs (scrambles, sunny side up, etc). One SG woman was asking, quite loudly, how come there's no eggs prepared in a certain way and demanded the poor chap to do it! [mad] My friend felt very shy and embarassed.
