I was riding at the Bedok North area today and I saw a big group of army guys with white number tags "On Test" it says. Whoa I was riding behind one of them and saw their requirements, when turning left, must put out left hand, when slowing down, they do this slowing down signal with their right hand, macham precision drills like that.. XIONG AH!!! If this were implemented at the driving centres, what do you think the outcome will be?

Those days riders or drivers uses alot of hand signal, somehow others tend to give way to you wen you use hand signal. But I guess its more comfy for those rides with upright posture.

nowadays still got people using hand signal what... like eg, chopping the air with the hand and mouth muttering "wtf u want" or pointing the middle finger...

these also considered hand signal, but in a bad way. :lol::lol::lol:

I tried wearing tinted visor and do hand signal on the road just now.. damn malu sia.. I only did it cos i was wearing tinted visor and no one could see me! If I wear normal helmet with clear visor and do all those drills, i think ppl will laugh at me!! Anyway I did it to test its effectiveness, and YES! Cars actually slow down for me! At the ECP, I was at lane 1 at 90km/h, did the "Slow down" sign with my right hand cos this red plater was tailgating, I did the signal and the car behind me change lane and overtake me!!

Blahhh

usually recee troopers go for the saf 2b course. x10 harder then the 2b course offered by the driving centres here. Got to jump here and there and do lots of crazy ****. i saw their version of their "plank course". its just wooden poles the size of an average tree, in a straight line (think there's 6 of them) and you got to squeeze in between two at a time.

why were you doing 90 in the 1st lane?

i dun think the car was tailgating, its more like you were road hogging.

1st lane is meant for overtaking and emergency vehicles.

if you were overtaking, you still got time to show hand signals for the car to slow down? why don't overtake and go back to middle lane.

At the ECP, I was at lane 1 at 90km/h, did the "Slow down" sign with my right hand cos this red plater was tailgating, I did the signal and the car behind me change lane and overtake me!!

how sure are you that the reading of 90km/hr on your CBF 150 is accurate?


how did the car overtake you with the truck in the middle lane?

please do not road hog lane 1.

SAF riders on road will surely ride like guai-guai kuku one.

Ride in staggered formation, stay under speed limit, always signal.


All this to preserve the goot goot image of SAF of course.

Don't be ashamed.

I usually hand signal when I need to change lane to the left lane (turning in to minor road on left) and the distance between vehicles are too little for me to change lane safely.

90km/h on a bike on 1st lane isnt road hogging.highways speed limit's 90km/h so theres nothing wrong with going at that speed.what if u had gone faster than that n TP spotted u?i dun agree with ur statement..u r implying only cars can go above the speed limit.theres no such exception for cars..only emergency vehicles like ambulances rushing to the hospital or rushing to those needing emergency attention
