Lala81 Hypersonic December 31, 2017 Share December 31, 2017 Just last week stopped once for wheelchair, kenna honk from behind twice. That driver must be so proud of it. sometimes is the driver behind cannot see what's going on. But it's common to see drivers stop for no f**king reason in the middle of the road especially in hdb estates without any hazard light or what. I've met so many. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
