wa nowadays TWR so up... got video to see somemore... ups!!!

Not today but yesterday. Saw many TPs on ECP at one of the infamous location. However it does not deter this driver to almost sideswiped me. Thanks to my spidy senses managed to keep my pillion and I safe. They should keep a lookout for errant drivers who endangers other motorists(motorcyclists mainly) safety and book them on the spot.

 

 

Moments later another driver almost sideswiped my pillion abd I again. Sadly my cam not wide angled enough. As you can see I managed to stop beside and tried to tell the driver off. However the driver just kept looking in front as though nothing happened. It was a lady driver.

You my friend am a very good person. Need more people like you.

We got to get with the times. Not only drivers can record videos but so do riders! Edited August 9, 2012 by duo

But really, I must say many Scirocco drivers on the road these days really think they can challenge us, thinking they can outrun us. Just had one today, a black one again.

They forget black ghostriders applies to bikes only.

i wonder if scirocco can outrun evo/wrx anot.. if they can't even outrun them, they can forget about outrunning most class 2 bikes..

well, majority of the sciroccos that i've seen otr are the 1.4 tsi model. unless the drivers took out the 2.0 emblem leaving only the tsi emblem to mislead others, otherwise it should be a 1.4 tsi model which i doubt can even outrun a evo/wrx. so far i've only seen 2-3 scirocco r model otr but i think the r model maybe can pace with a evo/wrx (correct me if i'm wrong)

[xue ling]

sry.. dbl post

[wait4me]

the 2.0l scriccco , should have no issue ..

but then again comapre the rex/ evo vs a 1000cc bike ..

 

because they from 230 and above, the speed moving up is slow liao

i onli curious abt the GTR . no chance to sit on one yet

No offence. But I didn't see a big deal.

 

The truth is MOST motorcyclists do that and worse. Maybe we should all turn ourselves in to the TP too, eh?

 

Pls don't nitpick on otherwise insignificant or unimportant non-events like that in the video.

[DeusExMachina]

 

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.

 

 

Once again. Car's maneuver is a non-issue. He just strayed over the line. A lot of cars do that, especially in bends as drivers may not be as accurate enough to track their line or lane.

 

The rider, however, will definitely get TP attention for swerving.

 

I'm beginning to see your bias.

 

 

Us vs Them. Poo poo....

[DeusExMachina]

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.

 

 

You haven't met the more "hiong" drivers yet. They can outbrake your bike into the corner, and take the corners faster than you. Your contact patch is only worth 2 credit cards. They have four. And some of these cars come with 4WD, ABS, LSD, and TC. You only have your throttle hand and your judgment.

 

1) Road is not a racetrack, but I'm not gonna preach. You go ahead and have fun. But use your eyes to see when you can and cannot play.

 

2) Be careful. Danielling might decide to video you and submit to TP. But I think for now you're safe as he is pro-biker. lulz....

No offence taken. I find it a big deal and i was lucky enough tat i capture tat on video instead of "capture" it with my body. Let me outline some extreme outcomes tat may occur due to the behaviour of the driver in the video.

 

1) Crossing the lane marking. Well there could ve been a rider LSing at the same moment. Do u LS? If yes then this driver is a danger to u too. Of coz I dun LS at this road but there r many riders who does every single time i travel this road. Would u LS here? Then again yes, this driver is a danger to u too. How about scaring the driver in lane 2? Maybe the lane 2 driver will reflex siam and maybe a rider would be LSing at lane 2/3. Then it becomes the fault of the driver at lane 2 when the root cause is this lane 1 driver. Or maybe it will be rider's lucky day and the accident will only involve cars, but sadly majority of riders LS and thus we r at risk, this type of crossing lane behaviour just increases our risk. Even if we dun LS, wat if we were following behind a car with safe distance? And just nice this behaviour cause a accident? Will the rider be able to brake in time? Maybe.

 

2) Changing lane without signal. I think 1 time maybe can forgive and forget. Everyone makes mistake. But doing it twice in quick succession and followed by a 3rd time, it is a bad habit. And there is a high chance tat this driver just doesn't signal. So 1 fine day, this driver may eat ur lane without signal and cause danger to u.

 

I think tat it is never a big deal when things dun happen. But when things do happen, wat is the cause? There could be many reasons and i do firmly believe tat losing focus, not paying attention, not having good road habits, etc r common reasons. Just consider, i read the phrase often enough, someone even posted a short form of the phrase. SIDSY = Sorry I didn't See You. This is a bad enough excuse and add to it, pple who dun keep in the lane or dun give u any indicator of wat they r going to do is just making it worse.

 

And sooo... if I feel tat this is a bad habit/behaviour and I ve a chance to capture it, i will report it even if others think tat i'm just making a hill or of anthill. Becoz my principle is simple. The road situation is getting from bad to worse becoz no one cares, no one bothers, no one thinks it's a BIG DEAL, until something happens.

 

U ve ur opinion, i ve mine. I am not offended and i hope u r not either. But I will continue to nit pick until i grow tired or give up or i "capture" it with my body. =(

Read previous post. My opinion is tat taking a corner requires extra attention and focus. Allowing ur vehicle to cross the line sures tat there is a lack of attention and focus. So far at this bend, thankfully i seldom c this. This driver was lucky to show it to me.

 

For the rider, reason is simple, no clear number plate. It is stated clearly on their reporting website tat there must be clear number plate. If u think i am "Us vs Them", pls do so. I am alright with it. Already wat i am doing has already generated some unhappiness in some forum users and i guess i can only say i stick to wat i feel is right.

 

fyi, this went to TP. I meant the 2nd rider in case u misunderstand. Just so u noe, i will report any road users tat i feel did something wrong, regardless of rider or driver. It's just tat it is way harder to capture riders number plate as most of the time i can't catch up. Too safe riding... =X

So you think you're on some heroic crusade by submitting videos of minor traffic infractions to TP?

 

It's one thing to create awareness by posting your videos on a forum. But it's quite another when you become a rat by submitting things to TP.

It is 1 thing to disagree and offer different views and opinions but it is another when name calling starts. But well i dun mind so u can carry on ur preferred way.

 

I ve mentioned before and i will repeat myself for ur benefit. I am doing all this for totally 100% selfish reason, it is for e sake of making e roads safer FOR MYSELF!! If others r able to gain by being able to enjoy a safer road, i do not care becoz i am doing it for myself. So no im not trying to be a hero but im somewat happy tat u actually compare wat I'm doing akin to heroic. Yes I'm being sarcastic.

 

To argue against ur point of reporting minor infractions to TP, wat if 1 day these minor infractions cost a death of someone? I dun think tat just becoz it is a minor infraction, it wont cost a life. A phrase tat comes to mind would be, "a wpn can kill. But a vehicle in e wrong hands can also kill". And yes i made tat phrase up but it rings a bell? So just becoz it is minor an although it bears e risk of killing but we should let it slide?

 

i post indeed to share. I also will report those cases which i feel is a road danger to a TP. I am not reporting every single case of cross line, no signal, etc. if i were to do tat, i would be too busy. I only report cases where e driver REPEATED actions tat r in my not your opinion dangerous but u may not ve noticed my pattern. Even it may be a minor infraction, i find tat a repeated minor infraction is much more dangerous than a major non repeated infraction.

 

Last but not least, it is my choice to report to TP. Since u call me a rat, wat r u going to do about it? And no, i dun care wat u think since my intention to report is for my own selfish reasons and not for others.

 

Ps: i would appreciate if u refrain from calling names. U ve ur opinion, i ve mine.

[fufu]

oh so u think by submitting those vids u actually make the road safer for you? ahhh i didnt noe you actually remember all the cars/bikes that travels with you everyday and think they will travel with you at the same time everyday.

 

it somehow feels like what bo liao ppl on stomp does. take pics/vids. but the only different is they upload via stomp where u sent to TP

By repeated actions i meant repeated within e trip. If u c e rest of my videos, most r just rant where they r mostly 1 off. In this i ve to accept tat some r genuine mistakes. Of coz some could be intentional or real bad habits but theres no way for me to prove or doubt them. Where as if a vehicle happens to be in front of me for e trip and repeatedly commits e same mistake then it is obviously either bad habit or lack of focus/attention both of which r dangerous. They could also be using mobile which also dangerous. Either way, in my opinion, those cases of repeated actions in a trip, not over a few days r dangerous.

 

Truth be told, i dun think my little bit of reporting will help to improve e overall safety. But i hope tat i will be able to persevere and continue this "catching" in e hope tat years later some results might be seen. Even if theres no results, i tried with no regrets. if e TP really take action, at e very least, e roads i travel will improve as i continue to report this cases and TP continue to take action. But of cos this may only be my wishful thinking

 

If u think im bo liao then i am bo liao. U happy tat i admit tt i am bo liao and i happy while im "catching" can le. i dun expect everyone to be able to share my views but i dun ve any issues with tat at all.
