[Blogs] Today while riding...

[r1der]

FYI I've already anticipated that the taxi will move before I pass him, just didn't expect him to cut straight to the right lane

Bro glad u r safe.

 

From my observation, I would say the taxi driver screwed up in its steering wheel handling. He did not turn the steering left enough; possibly there's slow car in front of him and he wanna overtake (I suppose), but slow down when he saw u, with wide left turn n almost eat into right lane.

 

Sometimes we as rider have to ride defensively. Yes, the driver is wrong in the first place, but the rider is the one who will suffer the most if accident happens.

Yes I'm not trying to be hard up and insist that the taxi is completely wrong altogether, had been riding more defensively these days i don't know why

My opinion is e taxi wanted to cut straight into lane 1 with intention. May or may not ve notice e rider.

 

And this is a fairly common behaviour of road users now. From filter lane directly cut into right side lane instead of keeping left and pick up speed first. It is 1 major reason y some of e peak filter lanes always jam, eg: PIE exit to adam/lornie road.

Glad tat u ve already realise this. When i was younger i will think my "right of way". Now i will just think of "ways to stay alive".

Today manage to provide assisyance to a rider. At first couldnt as e rider was on e left where as i was already on e right making a right turn. Thus went on to do my own stuff.

 

15min+ later, i had to go back to this junction and saw e rider still there thus went over to query.

 

Luckily e rider really needed help. E bike was fine but he couldnt bend his left knee, thus wanted to call for tow. Unluckily he couldn't get a available tow service thus i offer to help him call, then help help move his bike onto e pavement.

 

Just wish to say tat e feeling of providing assistance really feels good. I'm not gonna act holy or w/e becoz i dun do volunteer service and I'm not realy tat helpful of a person. I do not really noe y i stop to help, but it could be as a form of +karma act. Basically if i were in tat rider's shoe, i would hope for e same assistance given by others.

 

Thus i urge fellow riders to provide assistance where possible. Of coz do it in a manner where it is safe, do not sudden cut across lanes just so u can reach e rider. Do consider making a u turn to come back for e rider. (i admit i didnt)

 

Lets try to make this society better. Lol.

Notice more and more drivers like to accelerate then overtake you, closely. Doesn't matter what bike, I usually overtake them back, not out of anger though I am pissed, its because when the car put me in a situation where I'll have to tailgate him, I'll swerve left and right, do a seven as my friends call it, to put myself in a situation where I'm in front which is safer in many ways.

i agree with you. Only at certain point then I'll do a seven. If not, I wun do it. Haha. But well, nowadays ppl who drives thinks they are big.

Good strategy. Another way is to slow down leaving more space between e front car and u. But usually i overtake too. Lol
