[wait4me]

@JSCJL. Lol. I think most cars cannot c ur taillight.

 

@WAItforme. Glad u r ok. E horrors of being squeeze through or something similar by other riders during LS. e worse thing is if kanna side swipe, e front bike has a higher chance to stay stable. :/

U can only either adjust e camera's physical positioning. Or using software to rotate e video. But take note tat e keychain camera should be horizontal for e best wide angle.

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

2 parts. 1st part will go to TP becoz I think the driver was not paying attention thus this happened. The cross line also was not an instant, even after passing the car, i could see in my side mirror that the car was still across the line.

 

2nd part will be up to individual, i feel it is a risky move by the rider which wasn't worth it. I caught up with the rider easily without any need for spd up since traffic was slow. Notice that when it was my turn, the car did move to the left slightly and i just waited, didn't feel any need to rush. Some possible bad scenarios that may happen due to the rider's move, the car could be moving back to the right side and bang him. The car could be surprised by the rider on the right side and move left too much banging either another LS rider or even the vehicle in lane 2.

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

 

 

I didn't. More focused on riding through heavy traffic safely to expo. If the drivers wanna die, by all means if that makes them happy. Kinda weird, whoever has bigger balls grand prize is what? Fully chrome finish carbon fiber coffin isit? Life is cheap to them i guess.

Erm. No man. Black scirocco. Hahaa. Seems like scirocco drivers have a rep here eh.

 

that's why scirocco (1.4 & 2.0 tsi) insurance is way much higher than a golf gti. my hse area got 1 green scirocco with super duper loud and noisy exhaust that sounds like those msia lorries

i'm not surprised because majority of sg drivers are straight road heroes and they totally suck at corners. everyday i ride to work via KPE towards ECP (Changi) and vice versa, can see cars/taxis/small lorries crossing the chevron marking while cornering at speed of 50-70km/h. some will swerve back when they hear their tires go thru those small little "humps" (dunno wat it's called) on the chevron marking, some will continue turning deeper into the chevron marking so that their tires can avoid the small little "humps"

 

as for the 2nd part of the video, i think it was a dangerous maneuver from the rider. he/she could have slowed down and perhaps wait for either the blue car or the car on the left to give way so that there is enough space to continue lane splitting.

Because as a rider, you won't live long if you don't know how to take corners well, drivers...well most of them should learn how to stick to their lanes first

[danielling1981]

@Jehuty. Absolutely, totally, fully agree.

 

@xueling. Spd bumps maybe? But ur description of wat they do also interesting. Meaning they cross e lane marking even more just so no more bumps?

i've seen tiong cars with lots of gauges, spoiler, etc. braking hard when approaching a corner and then proceed to take the corner slowly. once exit the corner, "full speed ahead". another type is die die also wanna take the corner at high speed but can enter from lane 1 and exit from lane 2 or vice versa. the 2nd type of drivers must siam far far when see them corner

yup.. they will go deeper into the corner so that those small little speed bumps will be in the middle of the car. while they are turning, some of the drivers will tilt their head towards the same direction. too bad i dun have a video cam to record, if not can show u what i mean when they turn deeper into the corner

I hate cars that go around corners slow.

 

1) Dangerous for pple like me cuz I enter one fast, I go about it low, I exit it fast.

2) The spoil my fun.

That's why when I drive. Upon reaching a corner, if I know there's a car side by side to me which I guesstimate will cut his lane, I purposely go v close to that car, while sticking to my lane of course. Just to surprise him. Done that many a time to taxi drivers especially.

 

Actually not just cars. Many a bike also do the same. Start the turn on lane 1 by the time they exit, use lane 2.

1 LTA pulled over a scrambler rider this morning on PIE.. poor fella..

dude... you are absolutely right...

[wait4me]

yup i agree too , should revise their speed back to 60km/h and not 70

[ticks]

Easy money...

[duo]

I do not know about you but I feel that the driver should have stopped further in front as it was empty. Thankfully I was not going fast nor banked alot. Otherwise sure to be under the lorry already.

 

[aRcHeR]

and was sitting as a passenger in my boss's car heading to Tuas via AYE.

 

1 LTA spotted tekan-ing all the lorries travelling on 2nd lane. GOOD JOB!

Absolutely true. Hate those heavy vehicles taking lane 2 or even lane 1. Especially big buses travelling above 100km/hr

If right person then good, I don't have to wait behind.
