Michel Neutral Newbie March 28, 2003 Share March 28, 2003 (edited) hi, sounds like you are staying somewhere on the southern side of singapore... don't worry about driving...since not familiar with road...stick to the left lane of roads/expressway. Travelling on expressway is easier as you wouldn't miss the exit that easily. Suggest you try what i always do...topo using street directory. Stop at various points to comfirm direction. If not, you can always try to memorise the no. of turns/junctions/overhead bridges you need to pass. Think of it as driving in a foreign country and 'topo-ing' around the area to get to some places of attraction. Try it, it's an adventure... cheers..

Rainbowsix Neutral Newbie March 29, 2003 Share March 29, 2003 One year u claim three times? No wonder u know so much! But it is indeed better to send the car for a check just to be safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched March 29, 2003 Share March 29, 2003 Hi Bfg22, Welcome to MCF ! do enjoy your stay here and come along for our weekly meetups. More info is in our MEETUPS folder on the main page.

Pathfinders Neutral Newbie March 29, 2003 Share March 29, 2003 What is your ride? Auto or Manual? If your rear left tyre mounted the kerb while turning, it depends on how fast you are making the turn. If you are going quite slow which i think you did, then u shouldn't worry much. What do you mean by used your handbrake at the traffic light? Do you mean you engage your handbrake at the traffic light and when going off, you forgot to disengage? If this is the case, should be still alright if you dun do this often... Hope to see ya at our regular meetups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Neutral Newbie March 29, 2003 Share March 29, 2003 he he he, ops sorry I give you the wrong idea when I say I one year claim 3 times, let me put it this way, I claim 3 times a year on another 3 person car.... cos maybe I very slow on the road and they are abit fast so most of the time they "kiss" me, the worst case i had is this person knock into my rear bumper and sent my up the road kerb. cheers karen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowsix Neutral Newbie March 29, 2003 Share March 29, 2003 It is their fault for not observing safe following distance. I hope u wun get to experience such unpleasant stuff often. Bad for your car and not to mention your body too! Take care, my friend! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Neutral Newbie March 29, 2003 Share March 29, 2003 (edited) ha ha, thank you... is ok for me cos i get a replacement car when i sent the car for repair, but is the going to the IDAC part makes me want to that person who "kiss" my butt..... I went to IDAC so often untill, the claim advisor know my vehicle number and name by heart..... i tell you, that's the most malu part... cheers karen PS: the best part is that the claim advisor tell my "karen, I have not even close your last claim and now you are back for more??"

Rainbowsix Neutral Newbie March 29, 2003 Share March 29, 2003 Really? Then maybe u should go another IDAC instead so the person wun know u so well. p/s: Your claim advisor very humourous! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
