While squeezing esp during traffic jam,

[haryann]

I'm sure this things do happen before at least once throughout your riding experience. Care to share?

[fleaz]

actually it depends. if it's safe to apologize, i would do so. if not, just ride on lor. anyway, i don't really squeeze that much.

[Guest Delusi0n]

i neber bang before.. normally if i judge tat i could be squeeze pass i will slow down and change lane

[Shockard]

If unsafe to stop, i just act blur and carry on.

 

During my first few days of riding even worst. My handlebar balancer clipped a car's door, then I stopped and waved my hand to apologise, the driver didn't even know what happened.

[Speedpass]

Wave n apologise lor .

[Guest Fragile]

look back, wave sorry and move on.

[C.S]

one way to reduce such chances

change mirror

at least it worked for my wave

[Throttle]

never happened in my 13 yrs of riding.

 

but happened twice in my 11 yrs of driving. once broken mirror and once small scratch. twice the riders just ran off like rats. assholes

[SpiritualRain13]

Nvr happen to me b4

But i tink the best iz to wave in appology & juz carry on

[slow_mode]

well I have tag handle bar install on my super4 so it can be quite troublesome when i squeeze, but so far still ok. you only have problem at traffic lights cause they stop side by side and you have mirror to mirror width in between the cars.

[QuoVadis]

i feel guity. just have to share this with u guys.

 

 

my 1st few weeks riding my bike i actually had an extra helmet strapped on at the back of my seat. somehow tt day i forgot i got a helmet there and squeeze thru traffic at orchard. suddenly theres a bang by the size and my 1st reaction was: wtf???.. my front wasnt touching anytings so why is there an impact? as u would guess my helmet bang onto an mpv. the driver look at me in disquise. i gave a pathetic face, wave a little and den move on. im just afraid cos he mite report or wadeva cos i was too paranoid tt time. haha.. oh well..

 

btw there's still a white marking on my helmet. im sure the driver was cursing. it was purely my fault. ahhh..

[kennethy]

kena a few times when i was still class 2b... now seldom... cos have better control over bike

 

most of the time just wave to say sorry if traffic condition allows, if not also bo pian... just inside my heart kept saying sorry loh.. know that kena curse also one lah...

[Jess1717]

Worst day of my life when such incident happened, still new on bike and had to enter JB coz grandma was in critical condition (tat was a Sunday). Cannot refused to enter JB coz Dad was pillioning mum & me riding on my own.

The roads were damm heavy and I had tough time squeezing between cars, did hit 2 car's side mirror..... had 2 continued riding coz many bikes behind me..... no chance 2 apologised.

Damm pai sei.....

[jtjagan]

ever since switch to scrambler, no more hitting mirrors! Just fly by them.

 

At least thats what I thot until I try to squeeze between 2 pickup trucks!. My mirror and their mirror same height

 

But for cars, no probs.

[lance666]

my x9 mirror kana once with a Rav4

[WeN-Di.aka.ktmger]

i seldom bang their mirrors coz i'll always fold in the mirrors before i squeeze into "tighter" lanes...

 

even if i do.. usually i just act blur n ride off... coz there's always bikes behind me mah

 

unless i bang their mirrors big time, then i will bother to stop and say sorry...

Fold my mirror in and ride off...

 

 

But will immediately adjust my mirror back.. I'm a mirror dependable rider.

[honam24]

during my 2B period i knock onto a car side mirror twice, but i did stop and apologise but now it didnt happen to me since i upgrade .. maybe because i riding class 2A , got chance i squeeze, if not i wont.. not like class 2b, got chance to squeeze, i will ....

[kicskate]
