been seeing cars almost crashing into one another

 

mon - taxi turning out fr side road while another car on the other side doing a u turn. both idiots were not giving way to the other almost had a head on. taxi decided to stop but it blocked the entire lane and he was treated to loud blasts of horns!

 

earlier - merging lanes, both cars wanting to go for the same lane can't be bothered to check, one joker had to swerve quickly to avoid the other.

Fwahahaz! that time i also saw this 2 jokers on the eway, both change lane towards each other at the same time, den both swerve out to avoid each other at the same time. end up i cruise between them and moved on...

Hahaha! I did that before too! And I was Driving!

 

A few days ago, I saw NOT 1, NOT 2 but 3 drivers using handphone in 1 day!

 

Each time I give them a finger. (index finger only, I also Teacher you know!)

It's the type where you did something wrong when you were small, and them your friends see liao go and say "Hoooorrr!!! Die!!!!"

 

1st one was a pretty young lady in a blue hyudai chatting happily, I just had to burst her bubble!

She looked so shocked when I waved my finger at her, but she's so cute!

2nd was a chinese guy in his 30's SMSing at a red light, SMS until everyone moved off he still there, then kena horned.

 

3rd was an Indian man in his late 30's driving a Mercedes, must be from 1 of the condoms units near my school.

 

This guy is the Champ. Got green arrow wait until green arrow almost finished then cross, I follow behind, nevermind, maybe the guy borrow new car, not familiar, then he Lane Split! on dotted line taking up both lanes. Then a red Toyota who also wanted to overtake horned him loud loud, and he siam to the left, so I follow the Red Toyota, as I passed the guy, I just had to check if he was using HP sure enough he was!

 

One thing I noticed was each time I gave the finger, the drivers like become Hum Ji will quickly slow down and hide behind another car, like scared I can see them.

 

Dare to open mouth, don't dare to let people see!

haha soon you`ll be guilty of not signalling too. but taxi drivers are mostly those culprits who wont signal all the time. MOST lah. some taxy drivers quite okok.

 

today damm paiseh.

hi^5!

but engine died on me twice, once when i wanna make u-turn, the other time on straight road. then the bike, somehow electric starter not working, so must kickstart. jiaaalaaat. when u-turning, a lorry was behind me, kena horn and shout OI MOVE LEI ! stupid ahpek, cannot see me try to kickstart bike one meh. kanchiong spider.

 

wel... im my opinion, it was really a 50-50 case as there's witness but no one stepped forward to support. so, in the end, it was based on the TP's deduction of the case. for my friend, she was riding in her lane, slightly to her right but still in her lane when this car just zoom past her knocking her off balance through her handlebar. so, when reporting accident, she went to an NTUC income's workshop to settle her bike problem. FOC.

 

from there, the other party don't want to settle one to one, chose to go through insurance. then, my friend decided to take up that workshop's staff's offer on going through lawyer instead to take on the other party's insurance company. after 1st phase of deciding on who's the winner, there's the 2nd part of settling on the amount to be disbursed. after that phase, then my friend would know how much she get which is $2.5k. for my gf, her case is still pending, depending on how much to get. being a pillion is better cos you sure win as you can claim against your own rider or against the other party!

 

talking about riding in own lane and slightly near right, a big truck, those carry sand, just ZOOOOOOOOM-ed past me. TSKTSKTSK. heart drop man ~

i wish i can grab their phones and throw it away

even when driving also see this kind of nonsense ..

 

 

worse is if i see them swaying to the other lanes, i will go bang , bang , bang ,,

hoping it will bang other cars then i can be witness ,

I'm actually ok if they switch lanes into my lane without signalling, but at least give me more allowance lah! It was probably about a metre of clearance at most sia... If there was like one or two car lengths still ok, I don't care.

 

Oh well, just gotta get used to it I guess!

Haha. That's what you will encounter in sg road everyday. I'm working as an outdoor engineer and have to ride on the road everyday. Roads in SG are like see who can survive the longest.. REally really careful. If you think normal roads are fierce, try PIE, CIE during peak and also jalan besar(outside simlim square) / orchand. Nice..

By a certain time in your ride. You will build up a gut feeling already. means you will feel that a driver anytime going to cut into your lane feeling. Haha.. That's what saved me a few times before.. But of cuz, this comes with road experience..

sometimes i hope they will just kiss one another and hopefully learn a lesson on the importance of checking and not taking things for granted. it's no wonder a lot of bikers get hurt due to negligence of horrible drivers.

same here, but i wish to punch their pathetic faces too:cheeky:

it's no wonder a lot of bikers get hurt due to negligence of horrible drivers.

very true, these drivers.......haizzz.......always though they faster than bikes, bikers life are worthless, bikes only for poor ppl, bikes pay less rd tax so bikers dun deserve to be on the rd more than drivers ..........and the list goes on those drivers bird brain

Horned 2 toyotas yesterday night..

 

these 2 cars drove at night without their headlights..

1 uncle gave me a "sorry" signa nd on his headlight..

the other auntie gave me the WTF look...

 

toyotas seems to have these problem.. cuz their speedo dial will be lighted even during the day.. and SG roads are so bright that OEM headlights sometimes cant be noticed..

 

but they are very dangerous on expressways as only can see their rear reflectors at night..

[bernardk]

Just fagged one mitsubishi driver along sims ave. towards PIE KPE. Farker just change lane without signal and very sudden. Luckily i expected and didnt ride fast. Horn him 3 times from behind then he still jam. Go to his window see his fagged face and point to him to see where the fagg he is going next time.

[bernardk]

These drivers have the dragstrip blood in them... they feel that they have just triggered the first set of light beams which sets of the Christmas tree light to start and they are ancticipating the green light to have good start but not to break the second beam of light for a jump start. Welcome to the National Hot Rod Association aka NHRA Winternational Championships.

 

Some Singaporeans live by this motto of kiasuism:

 

Rush to wait and wait to rush.

 

Thats why im thinking of buying the car called RUSH if you all had heard it i think its a Honda. Why? becos its good... TP will give chance if you are driving that....

 

Imagine speeding then stop by TP then he will say: "I knw you are IN A RUSH but that doesnt mean you can go that fast. Driver slower next time ah" Hahaha

Saw a very bad accident, around 2200 hours. Road from Changi Village towards TPE/PIE, just before the right bend.

 

Car was wrapped around a tree, bent into half almost 90degrees. Left side of car hit the tree, and the tree trunk ended up where the driver seat should be. 20metre tall flames burnt for around 15 minutes, put out quickly by firefighters when they arrived.

 

Road is straight, two lanes. I don't want to speculate whatever caused this accident; its a horrifying sight. My girlfriend was close to tears as we passed the wreckage.

[firefox87]

Haha. That's what you will encounter in sg road everyday.

i bet no one have experienced what i had just now! was along that sharp and downhill bend from Clementi ave 6>PIE(changi airport). normally, i would take on that corner at around 60-70 but just now, i was feeling lazy and take that corner at around 40-50. that is my biggest turning point cos as i was along the apex of the bend on the outer lane, a malaysian cub was happily cornering and overtaking into my lane. but before he could overtake me, he corner too low and self skidded less than a few metres in front of me!!:eek:

 

in my mind, the brain awoke from its sleeping mode and figured out the best way to come out of this mess alive as the skidding and sparking cub is getting closer to me. so, i just slowly press on the front brake and corner lower and then just e-brake to the innermost of the inner lane. for this, i gotta thank my riding skills learnt through mac delivery!! if not for that, i would have surely lost my cool and jam brake resulting in self skid also. cos just now, my bike got slid out a bit cos of the wet tarmac and not so grippy tyres. that's how close i was to getting myself in a hospital.

 

gosh! that scares the hell out of me!! i just saw the kupchai cornering out of the lane. and next thing is he fell right in front of me. and i press on my brakes and i saw him skidded all the way, hitting the curb. all under less than 2 secs. and then, i parked my bike aside to render assistance to him. even though i wanna fcuk him upside for scaring me and endangering my life, he seems so much in pain for me to do that. i ended up assisting him get his bike out of other people's way. cos still got some idiot cars who think that bend is a part of a race course.

don't say cars. bike even worse. never own headlight never mind. yesterday got one still dare to speed and overtake so close to me. even though i always check my mirror, the only time i know that bike is nearby is by its sound and not through the mirror. night is when the speed of light is slower than the speed of sound.

[DeusExMachina]

poor tree ....:cry:

 

You beat me to it.....

[ThePole]

today while riding home, was in the right most lane to turn into Bukit Batok Ave 1 from Boon Lay Way. suddenly, think was an S4 zoomed out from middle lane and was making an illegal u turn. rider then e-brake, stopping just inches from me :eek:. the S4 was carrying a pillon sumore. such reckless idiot shd be revoked of their license.

malaysian kups are pretty hardcore riders and pretty reckless (might be understated to some). definitely much more gutsy and you can see it in the way they zip thru traffic and scrapping thru e smallest of gaps. they got this habit of stopping v close to you as well. some others ride bikes with exhaust or parts almost falling off and i would always try to avoid them as much as possible just in case anything flies towards me or like in your case fall down close to me.

 

its really dangerous for bikes not to have their headlights on cos it's hard to see esp at nite. freaks me cos suddenly some joker would peh peh peh and overtake you from nowhere.
