[Blogs] Today while riding...

[Lass]

just got back from india and traffic there is really crazy. no proper lane markings or traffic lights. lots of horns going off but the amazing thing is that they dun run into each other...whereas sg is so regulated & controlled and we get heaps of accidents....cannot understand.

 

7.05am and i run into a big jam along clementi on a friday?!?! wtf wat recession? it gets more & more crowded each year. when i 1st started working here, i leave house at 7.30am a few years ago, and each year i progress with getting out 15mins earlier. these days i get out at 6.45am and still run into a jam. so wat if LTA claims to have created the 'green wave'? cars are still not moving despite the green light. in situations like this even when you are lane splitting you get really mad cos there are always ppl trying to change lane just to gain a few metres. regardless they will still end up stuck further up front and i dun understand!

Two words: "Lane splitting" and "open throttle" and "eat my 2t smoke!" .... wait that's not right...

 

ya lar, that's 3 phrases liao! no la, i relac rider, my dad always advise me to give way to such drivers, let me not be e one to remind them that someone's life is at stake...

I heard about this green wave activation. It only works if there is an active operator behind the controls. So that guy must be sleeping...

 

Plus LTA is not the only organization with access to greenwave. SCDF and SPF also have it but never use it often cos what's the point. Wave here and there also jam....

 

Take honda wave better! :cheeky:

Wahahaz, if I dunno wat u guys are talking abt I'll prob imagine The Green Wave as so many cars stuck together that the exhaust combined turned the atmosphere green with poison!

 

Clementi ALWAYS jam w/o fail, and I LLST hafta pass by PIE(Clementi ave 6)/ clementi ave west(Near clementi mrt stn) often :faint:

 

Really dun unds dos drivers who cut lanes during jam, only to cause more jam... But then again, maybe they also feel like crap being stuck...

lol..cute driver

[s4dreamer]

if u consider their wheels turning, yes. but if everyone is going to stop (amber light), why are they changing lane? i remember the theory test says that no lane change b4 traffic light?

 

like huairen said, theory is different from practical...

 

Like the typical "very kiasu" Singaporean mentality... as long as the next lane is clear, what traffic light are you talking about? They will still change lane all the same...

 

The reason why? They want to be the 1st to move off when the traffic light turns green! !

 

Seen enough of these situations... That's why I'm very careful when approaching traffic lights... bcos cars can suddenly cut in front of you... brake suddenly...

Wah... like that, I think you should just take your bike to the driving center daily and ride round and round just for kicks.

 

Over there, it's always safe and everyone follows theory to the letter.

Not like the real world.

Aiyoh, that's so true bro!

 

That's why learning how to anticipate is key!

An RVF400 carrying a BMI underheight female pillion and a Super4 were racing along PIE today.

 

Overtook very close to me... giving me a shock coz I didn't notice them coming.

 

Saw them weaving in and out of the lanes among the cars of the 5 pm traffic.

 

Guess they were racing to meet their destiny and maker.

 

Freaking idiots.

[huairen]

wah.... 5pm traffic.

they born to be lacers

[eedwinn]

Today while riding at PIE,

 

got a zhnged Proton speeding at like 120km/h while the traffic was moderate. Weaved in and out and overtook me so damn closely.

 

That crazy driver still waved his hands "bye bye" at other drivers when he overtook. WTF

[huairen]

another born to be lacer.... but he hao lian.

hope he will be safe.

[Raptor]

Actually I was just wondering what my reaction will be if further on up the road I come across and accident scene with the 2 bikes down.. assuming all are safe and standing on the side of the road.

 

Would I show them a thumbs up or shake my head at them??

 

What do you think your reaction will be??

[huairen]

hahahahaha

ride safe.

it's friday the 13th.

one friend already has his bike crashed by a taxi.
