[Blogs] Today while riding...

[ticks]

Rode ytd and guess what? In 1 trip, 3 cars actually moved n adjusted their cars to let me LS thru the traffic jam. Can buy 4D liao la!

 

Sometimes there are drivers who give way to us LS. must be riders themselves. And I always give the wave to them to acknowledge. Don't take it for granted.

I think some sg riders ride like tat is becoz they r idiots. i sincerely hope u dun really believe there r no bad eggs among sg riders.

 

Ironically, there was a research somewhere or saying that riders who ride roads like racetracks are the ones less likely to get into accidents because they pay more attention to their surroundings than those who just cruise and switch off.

Yup i make it a point to acknowledge them. Hard to come by nice drivers like these. They make my day, i nod at them they oso smile. Win-win la. why cant all drivers be like this. Tsk tsk. Fat hope!

But bro if you nod at them and look at them smile back I think your eyes are off the road for a bit too long?hehehe

It is more relax and safer to ride thru jam if all drivers can do this, of course riders also don't take it for granted and speed thru while LS.

Nah. The jam was stationary type. So i cleared his side mirror, stop n nod at him then carry on.

They scared you might smash their mirrors! Haha but it's a good gesture. I noticed quite a number of drivers do give way during jams. Just this morning a car adjusted his car so I got enough room to lane split. Gave him the thumbs up.

The only other time I stopped and the driver nodded at me was when I was coming to a halt at a set of lights. Hand guard bashed a Toyota suv side mirror, whole mirror was twisted towards the front, meaning the driver was looking at the back of the mirror from inside his car, if ya know what I mean. I stopped, readjusted it for him, apologizing ly looked at him, he nodded at me in thanks for readjusting.

 

Spent the next 15 sec waiting for lights to turn green in shame. Lol.

Double post

Not today and ignore the date. Car too BIG when turning must go in my lane. Sorry not wide angled enough.

Just yesterday was on pie ard 3 plus pm was on lane 1.5 and got this nissan sunny driving dangerously.. It pissed the driver of the vw jetta in front of him and they started to race. The vw jetta obviously stronger closed all his angles of approach.. Nissan sunny went to lane 3 try cut him off and almost smashed into a prime mover. Honestly? Dangerous move. I almost got hit by both cars. Basssket

had the same today on ECP.. One scirocco and another honda stream were racing despite the traffic..thinking that they might crash into each other, decided just to speed past them, SAFELY, and distance myself as far ahead as possible capitalizing on the amount of traffic at the time. bro if you dont mind, i thnk its better in situations such as those, just to use speed and distance ourselves from stupid drivers like those which wont give a heck about themselves, let alone two wheelers..

 

I know this comment of speeding will attract negative comments, but please discuss it in a friendly manner instead of trying to throw punches..*peace*

[naim]

This i agree as well. Jux like how i see some drivers drive like nonsense kind (e.g. can't keep in their lane, keep on braking despite alot of space, etc.) i will immediately try n overtake. Dun want to get involve in any stunt that driver pull off. End up i suffer d worst consequence.

Well either get as far away ahead or as far away behind. I usually give a wide berth to drivers who can't keep in lane...or horn and flash them.

@ticks. U sibei heng e driver nice else $.

 

Hmm, i think ur suggestion of spding to get ahead of danger is sound. But really ve to c e situation. Wat if they too focus on their "race" and didnt c u LS and change lane abruptly? If e situation is such tat e cars r slow then can just slowly LS. If e cars can move fast, y spd? The danger will be ahead and far from u. Make sense?

 

if i really decide to overtake and e car in front is i feel a danger. I would overtake not by LS. I will overtake like a car by moving to e next lane. Becoz I'm guessing when we riders c a dangerous driver, it includes things like weaving in e lane. Thus y then do we think it is safe to LS to overtake tat possibility weaving car?

 

@duo. Good tat u r safe.

 

@trasher. Both car nearly hit u? did u give chase to watch e results of who win e race?

 

@Jehuty. Totally agree. Stay far either front of rear. But overtake with extra care.

 

@naim. If e driver u feel is dangerous. Hope u will overtake tat driver with extra care!!

[DeusExMachina]

some sg bikes also like to do stupid or reckless stunts which cause some drivers thinking tat all riders r like tt. Thus would u like it if other drivers were to do to u "something" just becoz some reckless riders do to them "something"?

 

I may ve misunderstand but ur comment seems to be treating all MY kups as e same when i do hear of good stories about them. And naturally on e road i hope tat other road users like me also c positive examples rather than all negative examples. do hope u wont really purposely go and cut MY kups just becoz u c some MY kups cut others dangerously. Not all r like tat, same as not all drivers r f up and thus we should not make enemies out of all MY kups or drivers just becoz of some bad eggs. Im also a driver and dun wish to ve some riders try to "bully" me becoz of bad eggs drivers. Likewise when i ride, i also dun wish tat other road users will bully me becoz of bad eggs sg riders!! :/

 

As I said, "get as good as they give". I don't do it to any M'sia kup just for fun.

 

If a kup does it to me and I'm not in the mood for it, he's gonna get it back. As one such found out from me last week. Frak the details.

 

 

yup. sometimes when there isnt ample space to safely move aside, these msia kups cant wait for u to do that and just squeeze in between just to overtake.

 

I'll usually give way if I can't make the squeeze and he is able to. But if there's ample space to overtake me nicely but he insists on playing game, then...

Daniel1981,

 

Precisely. That's why I didn't LS beside them. Undertook them using lane 3 instead. Hehehe. Another thing concerns me is what if they race and crash across the highway. Then I'll be stuck in traffic if i didn't overtake them. Or unless I'm in the mood of taking pictures and see how they're injured la.

 

Re the side mirror thing, I have Ktm hand guard on. Hard plastics, so didn't dent the mirror or what. So.. Also Heng. Hehe. Thanks

ytd while riding, Merc E300 2-door with very nice number plate (SS 53 Y) was road hogging lane 1 at 70-80km/h (according to my meter). waited for lane 2 to be clear b4 i lane change. went past the Merc and saw the driver so engrossed in talking to his passenger with hand signs. Overtook him and signal to lane change back to lane 1

Should horn once to get the driver's attention and then overtake. Had experienced similar but a taxi was travelling like a snake in between lane 1 and 2 on PIE in the early hours of the morning. Noticed that the driver was dozing off while driving. Gave a loud horn and quickly overtook the taxi and from my mirrors was able to see the taxi swerved to the shoulder and stopped.

u have saved his life and maybe even more...

[danielling1981]

@ticks. Ya we ve same mindset in this. But do be careful even if overtake all e way from lane 3. Never noe wat these buggers will do, might try to follow ur example and race from lane 3. Or worse think u playing with them and chase u instead. :/

 

but u also good and responsible. Most will hit and run. :/ but some is hit liao they also dunno.

 

@duo. Good job. Agree with naim tat u may ve saved his life. Glad tat there r riders like u around. karma++

Yep, a black one provoked me before. But he didn't get to see my tail light, sadly.
