Anyone experience this? Taxis cruising on lane 1 and hog the road.

 

Shouldn't taxi be ban from traveling on lane 1 like all the other heavy vehicle?

Maybe you can give more details like how fast was its crusing speed.

 

MCF has never been able to agree on whether lane 1 is for overtaking or for cruising at the speed limit so unless he was cruising 70 on a 90 road, then we will have a topic to discuss.

 

But then again...i have seen many other car makes doing 70 on a 90 road...i will just go up and horn them till they get out of the way or speed up. I suggest you try it next time. its effective.

 

 

Anyway taxi slow may mean that there is TP ahead. They have island wide walkies to warn each other. So if you see clear road and taxi not speeding, better keep eyes open also.

I have met countless taxis doing 80+ kmph on open roads and clear of tps too.. Really annoy me when they dont give way and have to overtake on the other side..

Ya, since you agreed taxi are majority. My point is to ban them from overtaking on lane 1, just like other heavy vehicles. Therefore, this should help clear up the roads. Even if there is a jam. Taxi can only travel on lane 2 and above, allowing us to use lane 1 for 'overtaking' as many cars, taxis as we wanted..

u sounds like the road belongs to you, why not ban everyone on lane 1 except u?

 

I notice small cars tend to road hog since they are slower in picking up, why not limit all <1.6L car to only extreme left?

 

BTW, taxi paid 6 times more road tax than you do, why not ban everyone else on lane 1 except taxi?

That sounds great. But I think it impossible and non-logical..

 

Btw, which sentence makes me sound like I own the road?

hmmm banning taxi on lane 1.. dnt think thts possible. First u haf to look at the population of taxi. freakly a lot. DO u knw tht taxi company haf to relase a certain of NEW taxi every certain months..thts y u always see new taxi out very fast.

If to ban. Lorries on first lane. taxi all on second lanes. First lane lagi more jam. [laugh][laugh][laugh] .....

 

no choice.road is for publice use.haf to share to use it. just tht many road hoggers on lane 1.

 

One more problem to those KNN driver. They simply cant stay in thier lane when taking corners.. and they got this KNN thinking. I SIGNAL means i haf the right to turn out.

No loh. u signal still need to check blind spot. [furious][rifle][whip] . who just turn out w/o thinking for other road users... Pui them...

 

Last nite. a lady driver on ECP road hogging all the way of extremem right lane where ther are no vehicles. KNNCCN.... think the road belongs to her..and guess wht. Her kid was nt belt up..saw her when she was apporaching airport...irresponsible [gorgeous] driver...
