  1. Give signal to change lane Guaranteed the mofo on the next lane will speed up Even if it's a wheezy 1.3L jazz that makes more noise than progress Now where's my prize for pest control?
  2. TL;DR - Cyclists blocked the entire lane at West Coast highway and failed to conform to red light. Agree to disagree: Cyclists are the true king of the road. Watch this 57-second video to see what I mean. What happened? The peloton were seen taking up the lane at West Coast highway and failed to conform to traffic regulations by beating the red light. This seems to be a norm amongst cyclists in Singapore - to gather in large groups and cycle on the roads. Which shouldn’t be the case! Stricter fines have been imposed to counter such road pests. Not sure if its sufficient enough to prevent all these self-entitled two-wheelers though. Online Chatter Your grandfather’s road ‘meh’? Takeaway Our paths and roads are shared spaces.

  3. I assume that most drivers have encountered road hogs every now and then (I know, they're not that fun to deal with). While some of these road hoggers tend to be pretty new to driving, there are some incredibly annoying 'lao jiao' drivers who insist on holding up traffic during busy timings. Because of their behaviour, it's hard to switch lanes sometimes and it's even harder to keep calm when I'm in a rush. So what do you do when you encounter road hoggers? Do you just honk at them until they speed up or do you just suck it up and follow behind until they're out of your way? 😞
  4. Mercedes driver tests the patience of other road users by hogging the extreme right overtaking lane in an underground expressway. Is it just me or are there more and more entitled drivers appearing as the days go by? In this video, a black Mercedes car is seen taking his time as he drives on the extreme right lane - a lane that is intended for the purpose of overtaking other vehicles. While it is hard to notice him at first, the driver continues to maintain his own speed on the lane, which forces a car to squeeze and overtake him on the left instead. As the minutes pass, the driver does not show any sign of leaving the overtaking lane. The camcar tries to alert him by flashing his lights, which causes the black car to slow down tremendously. This scares the camcar driver, and forces him to follow the previous vehicle in overtaking on the left. Is driving at the maximum speed on the right lane considered road hogging? Several netizens have come to the Mercedes driver's aid, stating that he could have been travelling at the legal speed limit on the right lane or that he might have wanted to turn right. However, according to the Highway Code, drivers are to keep to either the left or the center lane on a three-lane carriageway. The extreme right lane is for overtaking only, drivers are not allowed to stay in it longer than necessary after overtaking vehicles in the middle lane. Additionally, the Mercedes did not turn on its right signal during the course of the video. While the driver might have been travelling at a higher speed (or at the speed limit), driving in a manner that obstructs vehicles moving at a faster speed is also considered road hogging and is an offence in Singapore. Drivers will receive a fine of up to $2,000, 4 demerit points and an imprisonment term of up to 6 months. Netizens' reactions Yep, it seems that a lot of netizens think road hogging only applies to vehicles driving at a speed of less than 60km/h. However, that is not the case. This is a really common practice amongst drivers, but it is not safe for the slower road users who are traveling on the left and centerlanes. Again, the right lane is only for emergencies and overtaking! It sounds like this Mercedes driver might end up having a kopi session soon if he keeps this behaviour. -------- Thinking of selling your car? sgCarMart Quotz guarantees the highest selling price for your car.

  5. I am starting this thread on my observation about change in people’s behavioral when one steps behind a steering wheel. Non drivers behavior Generally, people around us, including ourselves(at least I thought so) are considerate, gentle, polite and approachable. For example, if we are causing obstruction when walking on the street, we will give way to others. Or when someone is obstructing our way, we will say excuse me politely, and very very likely than not, that person will also politely give way to us. There would be some exception individual but I am speaking in general term, this is how we human being behave in the society. The pervasive PMD problems on the street is a new problem that our society is learning to manage, which is outside the context of this discussion. Drivers behavior Next lets look at drivers, when the same group of people go behind steering wheel, I see people become impatience, start to tailgate, honk vigorously as if the horn should have been 10 times louder, drive aggressively , road hog intentionally despite being flashed or horned, the more hey wired one would even play brake game etc. The list runs one as we could quote a lot more examples. The why? So why is there a change in behavior from a reasonable person walking on the street to become an impatient and aggressive person after getting behind a steering wheel? Of course there are still no lack of good drivers around but I am referring to the group who change their behavior when they get behind steering wheel. Is there something wrong with car design? or because car is too expensive here that some may think they have to recoup all the “right” they have paid for through the nose ? or people are in a confined private space after getting into a car that one feels so comfortable that he/she has started to ignore the world out there ? Or one feels so uncomfortable when someone else is being perceived to be enjoying more rights than he is? Or car is so expensive that when one steps into his/her 2nd largest financial commitment after a house, the person feel so stressed out? How next? Are there ways to educate, transform these people to become a better drivers so that all could enjoy a better driving experience ? I guess there is no solution out but if by having more constructive discussion, we all could help create some awareness and help others non forumers to be more conscious, i guess that would be bonus to the driving community.
  6. A driver was caught on video blocking an ambulance on the right lane of the Pan Island Expressway for five minutes. The ambulance was rushing a 45-year-old woman in critical condition to hospital. The Hyundai Matrix refused to give way despite the ambulance's sirens and even braked suddenly at one point, forcing those in the ambulance to be thrown forward ...video
