does buses and lorries actually learn to drive slalom? cuz i keep seeing them just eat the other lane(s)when negotiating a curvy road. today, one SBS bus driver almost bump me when again negotiating the curve near the junction of Boon Lay Road and Jurong East Ave 1, have to horn repeatedly to chase the 2 wheels (of the bus) from moving even closer to me.

 

never ever try to lane split at bends especially along side these long vehicles. its like playing with fire!

4) Clementi Ave 6, PIE - AYE direction, quite packed, was following behind a trailer (to its diagonal at least), this bongtard ST11 rider taligated & tried to force me to lane split the trailer on the single and long filter lane.

 

Never mind, i shifted right, allowed him carry on. Guess what? he got stuck at the same place as me, ning nong piang also no balls to lanesplit.

Check only mah.. I suggest you go get the reservoir and hoses replaced. Beats getting your hand dirty / oily and save your bike's paintwork from being destroyed..

stupid driver, never drive properly! i got pillion somemore today! lucky i never knock into you

today while riding in KPE ...

 

find that the tunnel is very sandy? got alot of sand fly and hit my arms, super painful.

 

and whilst riding home, kinda sleepy coz tired from work. daydreamed for a second and the lights turned amber. !@#$ i can't beat the lights so i had to e-brake. !@#$ i never did e-brake on my bike before. felt my rear tyres fishtail. luckily stopped in time but exceeded the line abit. if it was a rainy day, i would have already been down. *sigh*

 

talking bout cats being runover ... i've been seeing alot of animal carcass lately ... maybe birds? or rats? i dunno ... if the birds could talk, i'll tell them to stop flying low when there are cars around ... hehe

i wasn't even lane splitting. was on the middle lane.

today while riding in early morning peak traffic at 8:14am, spotted this ambulance on pie with its lights flashing and siren blaring..but it was mired in the heavy jam..

 

watched as it weaved from lane 3 to 2 and back again..but since nobody could or would give way, it didnt make much headway..

i wonder why it didnt move to lane 1..it wasnt signalling or anything, so very hard to see what the driver was trying to do.

 

felt so heavy hearted as i watched it fight for every inch of progress, really hope the someone in the ambulance made it..

[scubasimon]

i just hate it when some stupid riders like to rev damn loud and overtake all of a sudden damn close to me. why like that??? want to die go and die by yourself don't have to scare me half to death as well. idiots!

[Silent Hunter]

Why ambulance didn't use road shoulder????

 

Isn't that why the road shoulders are kept cleared????

[areal]

iirc it was along a stretch where the road shoulder almost non-existant..its the strip just past the pie exit to clementi ave 6..

No.... road shoulder is not for that purpose at all.

I was riding towards Clementi this morning. I didn't take AYE though, but I heard about an accident along Clementi Ave 6. Do any of you know what went on?

[ahcaibiker]

had a rather unpleasant ride back home after a long day of work...

never had i experienced so many knnnbccb #%@&%@# bongtards in a day!

 

taxi filtering in from a filter road with give way sign, i was coming straight down the road, bloody idiot don care just cut out like that, horned his ass off, later come and tailgate me, this time i fooking bei song liao so i jammed my rear brake on purpose making my wheels lock for a sec or 2 and causing the tire screeching sound. then accelerate away, see he taken aback, don dare tailgate liao...

 

then a idiot motorcyclist just turn tight like the + junction belongs to his grandpapa, was approaching the junction, high beamed to warn vehicles i am coming, this idiot on a rxz/rxk don care at all, horned him, still got the cheek to stare at me... knnccb.

 

then got cars last min change lane, change 2, 3 lanes at one go, bongtards cutting into my lane w/o checking blindspot....

 

how come like global warming ah, every year get warmer, this case is with every passing year, roads more dangerous and more accidents happening...

 

driving centres not doing a good job? anyhow pass kayu drivers?

On the same note, how the heck harley riders keep their sense of hearing?!?! with 3M ear plugs on, i was still largely deafened, being about 1 lane away. Can the harley rider possibly not go deaf?!

but u missed out on the most important, pleasant, and optimistic part, which is u reached home safely.

 

try not to jam brake in front of TALIGATORS ba, they might really just chomp u up alive and whole, and claim from ur insurance some more, simply coz "Rider Reckless" - Make sense what..

i feel u man. encountered something similar today on my way back home too.

 

2 lanes turning right, me and a kup on the right lane and bongtard cager on left lane. then right while turning, bongtard cager sees his lane jammed with bus and just cut into our lane instead. nearly got sideswiped, blasted my horn like no business yet the @rsehole kept coming.

 

good thing the traffic light is red in front. chased up and went in front of the car. gave the "wtf" signal. bongtard shoot back the "i'm in a cage so i dun give a damn" look. so in front of all the cars and bikes, i point to the bongtard, gave the thumbs down sign for all to see and held it there for a good 10 seconds, making sure everyone can see.

 

totally ruined my evening. !@#%T$%$!@#^$@#$&%

*********************

 

jus nw while riding.gt 1 jb kup infrnt of me.de brake light was pink + blue.had a hard time concentrating on the rd coz lights so nice n i gt attracted 2 it

[prettymussel]

today i was driving, n there was this cyclist who was shaking his backside on the road in front of me.

taking up half of the bloody lane, wanna overtake also cant..

dunno y cant he keep closer to the side, or at least, on the double yellow!

 

anyway after that, along upper changi rd, there was a TP with speed camera on the overhead bridge.

sibeh sneaky, he hiding behind the pillar!

the overhead bridge was sheltered.. so there was a shadow for him to hide in also! damn jian!

luckily i was driving today n not riding.. if not.. i would probably be going quite a lot faster. tsktsk.

[Silent Hunter]

This morning, I saw 2 drivers driving with HP.

Caught them on camera, but footage not clear, because of the sunlight reflecting off the windshield.

 

And also saw 3 cyclist happily cycling, 2 of them cycling side by side, chatting away on mandai road, taking up 3/4 of the left lane. Also caught on camera... no wonder the Truck carrying concrete blocks so slow... ...

 

On the way home however, at the junction nearing Sembawang Airbase, at a red light. while I squeeze squeeze squeeze, got 2 MPV both spilt apart, for me to squeeze through!

Wah! I felt like Moses parting the Red Sea Man!!!!
