Just now encountered one black car, red plates, Indian driver. Overtook me at the exit from sle to bke with less than half a lane to spare. I was on the right lane, he came up from behind real fast and overtook me at the bend, narrowly missing me. Tailgated a car on the left lane with about a quarter car length to spare, change to the right lane and tailgated another car, before going on the double white line to go to the second lane of the expressway. Seriously, something ought to be done to these kind of drivers. I caught up with him and switched on my high beam, following him for about a minute before going onto kje. His speed when entering the expressway was about a hundred, when I was following behind him, his speed dropped to 60km/h, maybe less. I thought he very fierce? Overtake at a bend and eat into both lanes making me swerve to the right to avoid getting hit? On high beam only scared? Eh ******, if youre reading this now, wake up your bloody idea la. U wan play with people, let them know first, don't suddenly come from behind and surprise them. It's not funny at all. Bloody driver. Seriously.

I am amazed that this thread I started is going to be 8 years old soon.

How u break side mirrors ah? I tried kicking a cars side mirror but never break, I used my fist tohit a taxis mirror but also never break. The only mirror I managed to break is a lorry's mirror, but my glove got cut by the broken glass. -.- icut myself too. My fingers kena scratched.

 

Simple, get a chain roughly around 1-2meters and a mid size padlock at the end. As and when you feel like breaking mirrors just take it out swing it in a clockwise direction with enough force going down on the mirror and it should break quite easily. And pls lock the other end of the chain to your bikes rear rack just in case the mirror doesn't break you can open throttle and the rest should follow.

Drivers only tink dat pple like u r pests... Pple like u give us a bad name... Bt its ok lah, pest will die fast, juz get e pest busters to get rid of it...

 

Hope i dun c u on e rd coz with u around not only mine but other road users lives r in danger...

 

Say until like that as if I offended you. Confirm boh ? But come to think of it, how you know what I look like so you won't see me on the road ar ??

Ah ok... Same as what they did in premier rush... Wrap the chain around their body, when need calls for it, easily accessible.. Will put into consideration if I encounter more of those funny drivers. Really don't know what to say about them anymore.

Aiyah no need to think.. Pest got a significant look...

I said like dat coz im not a pest n pest dun ride bike, it flies

[WanFazer]

To be fair. If we stick to e context of speeding in eyes of law. U r going at 90 then throttle a bit become 95 also cna be booked for speeding.

 

Wateva e road speed limit is, TP gives excess of 20km/hr.. Anything above dat excess, liable to kena summon... Within e excess, warning letter

[WanFazer]

U all more lucky than me la. My mother said to me before that a Chinese fortune teller told her that my birthdate and time was very inauspicious. Told her that my life would be very tough and very problematic. What can I do? God want it like this then so be it la. Also can't do anything to change it. So I just take things as they come. Give me place to vent my frustration la... Say only ma... Haiz... Damn stressed sia now. Phone bill hospital bill bike repair bill lost my job a few time because of all the freaking hospital appointments. What can I do? I'm not a billionaire like bill gates, I can't control the government like lee kuan yew. I'm just a normal human with problems that other people cause me to have. If not for them, I wouldn't even be frustrated now. Stress u know? Haiz...

 

Pity u lah.. Ur life really damn super suay... Ish ish ish...

In fact most road users oso scared of u coz as wat e fortune teller told ur mom dat ur life would b tough n problematic n with u on e road, it wud b tough n problemtic for other road users... Pls, for ur own safety, take public transport, can ? ... Not flaming u coz im really afraid of u ....

[wait4me]

all those new riders or probation riders beware lo...

 

now beat red light is 13 point , no more 12 ..

[danielling1981]

Haha ur right bro.. Thats how i practise "how to take line n have variety of it" juz like on e track... Ride fast bt fail to observe oso no point.. Then nd to brake here n there for wat... Throttle control, use engine breaking at e proper gearing, check for available space ahead while LS n always keep a look out for mangkuk drivers whom might cut into ur lanes abruptly n tink wat u gonna do when such things happen when suddenly there's obstacle infront of u like a big rock or debris n e possibilty to bail out etc... Rather then keep on emphasising on E brake, wat r e other alternatives etc....

 

At e end of e day, its not about speed alone..

 

I ve 1 rule for myself to share with other riders. I always make sure in any situation i must be able to brake safely.

 

In a higher spd situation, we wont be able to ebrake. But generally, if can reach high spd, there wont be need for ebrake. But observation is required to analyze roads ahead and adjust spd accordingly. Meaning before entering a lower spd area (no cars to more cars area on eway) i wil ve already reduce spd without e need for brakes. I ve seen many riders like to chiong all e way until same high spd enter LS then statt braking. Very risky.

 

Then in low spd situations. Meaning alrwady got more cars. I always ensure im in a spd tat i can confidently ebrake and stop. Becoz there r more vehicles around so naturally e chances of encountering a f up situation is more likely. Thus ebrake would become necessarily sometimes. I ve personally encounter a case where e rider in front of me, around 2 to 3 bike away fell and i had to ebrake. Tat rider fell becoz tailgating e front bike. Then front bkke had to stop for some reason. Lucky e bike tat fell didnt hit e bike in front else. More problem.

Ya. I do agree e forum i can let out stress. I rather u do it here than on e road. Becoz 1 day u may kanna something worse. Example u wack e car of maybe TP head or LTA head or some big shot? And they happen to ve those more advance 4 way camera (1 each at side mirror) then u can run and cant hide.

 

Ps:if u luck is so bad base on ur forune, y u still ride? We riders ve to face e facts tat sometimes its really up to luck and fate.

Wtfish. Meaning no more 2 time chance.

 

Ok la. Consider good in a way ba. Its their own rules tat cause this problem of many cases of beating red light ba.

 

I just hope they silently adjust e red light cam activation time lo. I seen too many cases of vehicles cross e line only after light turn red. There seems to be still a 0.5 to 1second buffer after light change to red.

Why I ride ah? Hmm, cos car Coe $90k? Got motion sickness on bus and cars and sometimes on the train? The train very crowded cause me to feel giddy? Motion sickness giddy until feel like vomiting?

Eh brother, I think you are seriously stressed out. You need a place to relax, to feel calm. Take a break from riding fast and aggressive and ride slower and defensive. Its all about the timing and intent of how we decide the ride to go. If I would to ride slow and defensive while having the mindset of challenging drivers, it wont work for me too. It would only make you nervous and itchy throttle.

 

I've ridden with you before, you are ok rider one. I think you are stressed out that you post all your agresssion and hate out here. Relax la brother, Maybe change a less powerful bike? Save some money, enjoy slower speed and still no need to take bus. I really worry that your stress will cause you an accident or your life or money or time.

 

You wear most of the gear right? But if you let your anger control you when riding, you will be an angry rider. What gear also cannot prevent accident le.

 

Peace.

Wear all the gear in case more sh!t happens it won't be as jialat as before when I kena without any gear at all. Too slow also not good what. Imagine the expressway speed limit 90 but all the cars going at 10-20 because of the jam. Don't expect me to follow behind a car, because one of the reasons I bought a bike was because of its agility and flexibility. Bike can go through spaces a car can't. Speed limit 90, I go at 90. Unless I really have to go faster than that to prevent accident to myself, then I would go. Like in the cases of tailgaters. Can't brake, can't change lane, then I'll speed up to put distance between me and the tailgater.

tdy while riding, i was riding behind a car on lane 1 at BKE towards woodlands. aft the the car infront of me lane change to lane 2, there was quite a huge gap between me and the car infront. i started accelerating to close the gap then on lane 2 got a SUV signal (signal light only flash once) and straight away lane change into my lane. quickly brake and blasted my horn at the bloody driver and he still can straddle in between 2 lanes. i only can brake because right side is those orange /white barriers and left side is those msia kups lansplitting. when i rode beside the driver, turn to look at him and gave him the "wtf u trying to do" handsign. the driver act as though nth happened and continue looking straight.

Today while riding ECP towards Changi at 10 pm. While riding up the ramp in front of MBS saw jam. Thought couldn't be good. True enough. Biker riding R6 or R1 down at KPE entrance. Paramedics were already attending to him while the lanes were shut off. Riders friends were there in GSXR and another sports bike. Hope for the best...

Tailgate hor? I ride even slower. Play with brake lights.
