Video: http://razor.tv/video/493414/how-to-deal-w...eckless-drivers Speeding, hit-and-runs and sudden cuts and turns - these are some cases of reckless driving which have made news headlines over the past few weeks. Videos of these incidents have been posted and shared online, thanks to motorists' increasing use of car cameras. Several members of the public have also been sending their videos to citizen-journalism website Stomp to alert others of errant drivers. The official figures for inconsiderate and careless driving are indeed alarming. In 2012, Traffic Police reported 243 cases of reckless driving, which is a 50 per cent jump from the 163 cases in 2011. The number of speeding offences in the first six months of this year has also increased from 109,960 to 129,578 - an 18 per cent rise compared to the same period in 2012. Mr Eugene Lee, a driving instructor at the Singapore Safety Driving Centre, points out that one mistake Singapore drivers often make is to jam their brakes suddenly and excessively whenever they spot a potentially dangerous situation ahead. But "by braking, they will cause danger to others", he adds. So, what should you do when you encounter a dangerous driver?

From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Online...ory_811311.html Wrong advice on dealing with tailgaters Published on Jun 16, 2012 I AM appalled by Mr Nicholas Wong's suggestion for riders being tailgated to 'slow down until drivers get the message that motorcycles have an equal right to be on the road' ('3 misconceptions about motorcyclists'; Monday). Whether a person is driving a car or riding a motorcycle, the safe thing to do when being tailgated is to filter to the next lane when it is safe to do so. Slowing down in front of a tailgater is not only dangerous, but also frustrates the tailgater, who may become impatient and commit a rash and dangerous overtaking manoeuvre. The road hogger is probably just as inconsiderate as the tailgater. There is no need to be upset when being tailgated. Instead, we can assume that the tailgater has an emergency. We should then be considerate, signal our intention to change lanes, and do so safely. The Land Transport Authority should impose a higher speed limit specifically for the right-most lane of our expressways. For example, it can be raised from 90kmh to 110kmh. Drivers who prefer to keep to 90kmh will then have no reason to be driving on this lane. Daren Lau

If you've ever spent any time in an online forum, you've undoubtedly encountered certain individuals who abuse their status within the forum. I'm not talking about forum trolls. They're easy to spot and just as easy to dismiss. But rather, a different kind of malicious entity - the forum bully. ... Troll or Bully? In many ways, I have more respect for a troll than a forum bully. At least a troll is direct. If you pick up a snake, and it bites you, whose fault is that? The snake was just doing what it does. It's the same with trolls. Their intentions are obvious - they're in the forum to disrupt and cause trouble. They arrive with all the subtlety of a jet on a landing strip. Forum bullies are harder to spot. They disguise their intentions. But make no mistake. When you encounter one, you will know - because their bite is equally malicious and just as full of venom. What is a Forum Bully? A forum bully is school ground throwback. Remember that middle school bully with his pathetic little band of sycophantic followers? That's a forum bully. In ways the forum bully is just a pseudonym for a troll, but with a major difference. While the troll's behavior is condemned by the group, the forum bully's actions are condoned by the group. Established members of the group, who don't agree with the forum bully, usually remain quiet while the bully tears apart people just for sport and as a demonstration of power within the forum. Basically a forum bully is the equivalent of a popular troll -- a troll with power within the group. And therein lies the danger... ... Evolution of a Forum Bully Forum bullies are typically intelligent. They usually begin as helpful members of the forum. But as their power grows, their true nature reveals itself. Once established, forum bullies begin mixing their helpful posts with intimidation. As they evolve, and develop a reputation, they attract followers. The followers serve as back up, often times speaking on behalf of the bully to clarify the forum bully's statements. Other times the followers are like a pack of hyenas jumping in for the kill after the bully has drawn blood. As the forum bully fully evolves, she begins to feel immune to attack. She states her opinion regardless of accuracy or consequence, knowing full well that she can always rely on the support of followers to bail her out of trouble. Enablers ... The other danger of a forum bully is that she creates an atmosphere of fear within the forum - not fear among the established members, but rather fear among those outsiders who want to participate in the forum. It is this fear that enables the forum bully to operate. A forum operates on the classic in-group/out-group dynamic. The bully's behavior is tolerated because of an understanding of this dynamic. You don't attack those within the inner circle, only those outside it. If one of the respected members of the forum were to call the bully what she is, a petty, repugnant fraction of a human being, this member risks losing position within the forum. The resulting forum is a place in which comments are guarded. Politics are played. And the free flow of information is stifled. This is the true danger of allowing a forum bully to continue her activities. By not calling her out, the forum loses part of the dynamic it was created to foster. The forum bully also undermines the legitimacy of everyone else in the forum. ... ... What to do When Attacked by a Forum Bully Unfortunately if you are an outsider, there's not much you can do. To attack the bully often will cause the more established members of the forum to close ranks and dispel the outsider. There's a certain logic in this. As an outsider, you've yet to prove whether you're worth defending - especially against an established member of the forum. ... If attacked by a forum bully, disagree politely then get out. Diffuse the situation with silence. Remember, others will read your posts and make determinations about you. Even the most skillful defense will dash up against the walls of the kingdom. Besides, you may have more people rooting for you than you think. Forum bullies are not necessarily liked by the more respected members of the forum, they are merely tolerated because they are part of the inner circle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While I do not think we have a serious forum bullying problem, I do feel sometimes there is a small degree of group cyber bullying going on. I believe we do not set out to bully intentionally, but regardless of what has transpired, no one should bare the embarrassment of having a group of forumers taking turns picking on him/her. We may try to pass our words off as a teasing comment or a joke but remember we are all strangers here and across the World Wide Web an innocuous comment may turn into something insidious. Would sincerely hope all members strive to be professional in their comments, remain objective, always give the benefit of doubt and learn to walk away when you feel it is no longer possible for polite conversation. This holds true for any 'victim' as well. Cheers~

I found this interesting data from Liverpool Board. Giving us a clear picture of what Rafa had been doing in the Transfer windows. And break a lot of Myth by Media that Liverpool had a lot of money to spend. 2004/05

Today was a super dark day. I am 28 years old, 2.5 years ago, i hurt my back while doing IPPT shuttle run... and subsequently, i got a 'slipped disc'. I was referred to Changi Hospital for specialist examination, but the 'senior' orthopedic was Super uncaring and asked me take some painkiller and look for him 2 months later. I resorted to looking for a specialist in a private Hospital near my house. I took a MRI and found out the disc was budging into my nerve like a big pimple. The MRI scan shows the herniation is at L4/L5. I was advised for open surgery immediately. After the surgery, it felt better but the pain was still niggling. I often get muscle cramp and pain radiating down. I tahan for very long. Find this doc again and he told me it is normal, never ask me to take post MRI scan. Keep telling me to swim more and charge me his expensive specialist bill i trusted him But the pain was getting worse, I decided to seek a different opinion from another specialist (pain management), took a post MRI scan. Discovery - my L4/L5 is still budging against my nerve like a big pimple!!! and My L5 lamina bone was cut to operate on the disc. This specialist and my general physician both said it should be operated from L4 and not L5. They said i have little choice, I need to do another a 2nd open surgery.... with no more L5 bone to support, i most likely need to be fixed with metal n screws. I spent so much money to be screwed? super dissapointed I am going to confront this private hospital specialist tomorrow and lodge a report with the hospital management and medical council. If all fail, i will engage a lawyer. Anyone with experience in this?

Hi All, I am getting a car (Colt Version R) from PI and m ready to sign all necessary paper works. But there is a couple minor hiccups here. The SE is new (5 months in this industry) and they do not carry this model. However I decided to go with them because they offered a real good deal for the '08 facelifted version. I requested for a confirmation from their Japan rep office to confirm the specs and car i or rather they are getting for me before i seal the deal. They said they have sent a request and currently waiting for them to revert. Its been 4 days and i have not gotten any update from them. At this junction, can i ask them to list out everything on the sales agreement and proceed with the deal? (Eg. Mitsubishi Colt Version R (Manual) 2008 Facelift Model) Pls provide me with your comments based on your experience or if you in this biz...thanks
