Zippaboy 4th Gear September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I drove in many countries before and this is what I personally feel and experienced.... Today while driving to a unfarmiliar place for dinner, I was keeping to the leftmost lane trying to navigate. Before coming to this red traffic light, I realize actually I have to continue straight but the leftmost lane can only go left. Signaled right and did a lane change. To be fair, my car was positioned slightly slanted but fully in my new lane. There was a red Volvo coming from far, when it reached me after like 10 seconds , it suddenly gave me a loud horn and switch to the left most lane. The 40-50s lady inside then gave me a killer stare, was gesturing to a man supposedly his husband. I looked at her and waved sorry. She then start shaking her head furiously, continued complaining to her old man. Not that it matters, but I realize there was a big wooden cross hanging from the rear view mirror. The light took awhile to turn green, I was really amused to see this strong reaction from the old lady.... ↡ Advertisement 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazerath Turbocharged September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Got once I was driving slowly and didn't notice a mpv driver wanting to turn from filter lane, when I saw him, he was cursing and raising his hands in the car to his passengers. At the red light, I looked at him, wanted to ask him what the fuss was about, he acted like nothing happened. Some when they sit in the car, their egos are inflated. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light took awhile to turn green, I was really amused to see this strong reaction from the old lady.... All kinds of drivers in this world - live and let live. At least you apologised and you can sleep well tonight. About the point above - I guess it clearly matters since you mentioned it. Lots of pple who hang religious objects all over their belongings (not just those with crosses), but fail to act morally and in good faith. As long as you act morally and justly, I think you'll still do fine in life. Hey, it's the end of Monday - one day closer to the weekend! 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qpik Supercharged September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 (edited) TS, u r correct to keep left gg to unfamilar place. Just some pts...10 secs then Volvo reached...hmm cmg traffic light, y Volvo nvr slow down?? But, TS y mention abt the cross? Having a faith doesn't make one tolerant. So long as one is human, we still commit mistakes. Nway, kudos for keeping cool n u r correct, driving behaviours here still has a long way to go.

Kb27 Supersonic September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Yeah, just 2 days ago, I signal left to change lane and this guy comes from nowhere, didn't see him in the rearview mirror, and blast his horn all the way. I hope he got his jerk off. Obviously, if you see a couple of lanes jammed up, someone may try to filter out, and here he come chionging all the way and ready to blow his horn. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobey 1st Gear September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Some times when you signal and take your time to filter in seamlessly and subtlety, somehow something tend to go wrong and some joker behind will just come out from somewhere and horn. But when you signal and go in firmly (and safely), nothing happens. I learnt to be nice to people (give way) and do not expect people to be nice to me. If I want to change lane, I go in without expecting people to slow down for me. Meaning to say, it might involve some hard acceleration and fast movement (without endangering anyone of course). Some times the nicest of things happen when you give way. I seen on many occasions whereby I give way for cars to filter in while nearing a turn, and the car in turn also gives way to other cars later. Kindness do spread!! ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
