Good article - obviously written by a British bloke with the M25 reference (its a UK highway).

 

We should add on to improve on it in a Singapore way.

 

Tips for squeezing with Malaysian bikers, anyone?

 

They're very skilled and aggressive on their cubs and regularly attempt moves that no SG biker would ever think to do. Going between a large lorry and a bus with a gap less than a meter wide, etc.

 

They won't give chance to you who looks in your mirrors before you squeeze, either, because the next cupkia will try to fit himself in that 50cm gap between your front wheel and the cars ahead.

 

But what the agile little cubs lack is straight line power and the riders are mostly not very good at high speed cornering - do expect splitlane hogging (100cc cub trying to pass between traffic moving at 100kph and failing) and riders failing to accelerate decisively when the road is clear.

 

DO NOT tailgate or honk at them because some will get aggressive and deliberately jam their brakes in your face... and since most of them have a huge box at the rear to absorb a rear end collision, the trailing bike WILL lose. (Have experienced before)

 

DO keep a safe distance between them and you at all times especially when passing. A Johore gentleman racing to get home has far less safety awareness than yourself!

 

A race with them has little gain and a lot to lose. On the other hand it just takes a couple seconds for them to scoot past you. It's not your business if they want to take unnecessary risks just to overtake a couple more cars in peak hour, so don't make it your own.

brilliant post. thanks

[fmaorui]

the stuff here seem obtained from a US source but good info nonetheless. The filtering too fast point and not checking all angles point are especially vital for our crowded roads
