Was riding home from work on CTE northbound near Balestier area. A red Alfa Romeo convertible was in my 4-o'clock position and the moron drove up to hit my right side box! Fortunately I have experience in this and only wobbled a bit. I highly suspect it was done on purpose because I was not in his blind spot and my box had reflective strips on the rear. Either that or he wasn't paying attention to the road at all, maybe talking on the phone or texting. To the driver: hope you enjoy the scratch that my $500 box left on your $200k Alfa. It's a warning.

Was going up upper thomson towards SLE, meet a black Alfa Romeo that dangerously turn out from minor road to major road which i am travelling around 70km/h... Got himself a full 10 sec horn from me.... Ass holes.... I have to e-brake and swerve to the next lane just to avoid him...

Probably not paying attention.

Saw an angry Msian with a modded Proton bang over a bike at Lor Bapok there, luckily for him it was JB.

I notice that most phantom riders like to hog in between 1st lane and 2nd lane, they ride at the same speed as 1st lane cars and in the blind spot of cars and also blocking other bikers in Lane splitting.

Most likely due to not having the confidence that they can squeeze past the cars.

If my S4 with stock mirrors can, they can too. If not confident, move aside, I really don't want to pull off some overtaking maneuvers I've learnt from somewhere. If I can give way to JB kups cuz they can squeeze faster than me, why not them.

I was behind a s4 and there was a phantom blocking. infront the s4 for like 10mins and the phantom didnt give way, the s4 change lane and overtake, after that I change lane too.

Yes true to a certain extent. On my daily commute to Tuas, maybe roughy 3/5 phantoms know their bikes disabilities. So they will kindly give way. Others.. Think they're riding Harley block the road but still yaya.

I concur.

Harleys also give way leh hahaha. Maybe uncle never see side mirror. Act blur live longer.

[Yat-]

I rode phantom long time ago. Can squeeze leh no problem. It's the rider lah. So many other bike types also block other riders. It's easier to split with phantom than S4.

[Silent Hunter]

It's the rider scared, no confident. Not the bike.

 

I still ride a Phantom and I squeeze like a Malaysian Kup.

 

Even when I had my wide Beach handlebars I still squeeze quite a lot. Just a bit slower.

 

I remember this one time, that I pillion my ex-classmate on my wide handlebar Phantom to collect his bike and when squeezing, he was screaming "Woah! Wait! Wait! Wait! Ahhhh!!!!!" And then we were through.

 

When we arrived, he was saying he never squeeze like that, even on his previous bike (Honda Wave) some more I had the wide beach bars on.

Saw the aftermath of an accident along Changi South Avenue 1 yesterday between a car and taxi. Either car driver not patient to wait for green arrow or taxi sped and beat the red light. Guess I was just a bit too late to witness the incident.

Better to witness instead of be involved

better be late than not to be there.

 

I find that riding during Peak hours is worse than off-peak.

Peak hours drivers are changing lanes very fast, and sudden, not like off peaks

and it's like every drivers are rushing to incarnate or some sort...

I was travelling on the adjacent lane of the accident.

 

Agreed. Peak hour can see drivers who will die die want to go in the lane even if we are beside. They will just signal and squeeze you out of the lane. Can also say goodbye to safe following distance. Most likely some driver will just cut into that space thinking they are faster. Also very easy to spot inconsiderate driving which is simultaneously turning and signal.

KJE towards PIE Tuas. Near after sungei tengah exit. P plate driver driving on 1st lane jam brake just because there's an empty half crushed paper box.

 

From my experience and seeing the box, if he went through it will be no problem.

 

He is super lucky no car is following him from behind if not only God knows.

 

To make it worst, ita just after a right bend and a blind spot if ur going quite fast which almost every vehicle will be in KJE.

Bet the driver does not feel he did something wrong by suddenly stopping.

Try raining heavily, heavy traffic and on a normal road rather than expressway and you feeling sleepy as sh1t because you're going back from night shift.

Been there done that. Used to work at the timing when most are sleeping and only go back when people are rushing to go to work. Good thing is the traffic on the way to work. So smooth.

The sh!tty feeling and threat of accidents is one of a kind hahah.

 

Speaking of rain, got caught in a sudden downpour in between Eunos and Tampines on the PIE, Tampines was untouched. Totally drenched, very heavy for for that small stretch only.
