Hoggers think he is right

Bro,

 

Relag lah...sometimes sxxt things happens. Sometimes i need to filter to left most lane to overtake...LOL

[Nolicense]

-Actually, the only reason why I even travel on the extreme right lane is that I am forced there by road hogs on the centre lane.

 

These include lorries packed to the gills and huge gravel-transporting trucks travelling at a mind-numbing 60kmh on a highway with a 90kmh limit. These vehicles are supposed to be travelling only on the left lane.

 

Readers should try going on the slip-road linking the BKE to the KJE towards Tuas at 50kmh, which is the speed limit on the slip-road.

 

Once, I was hounded by a six-wheeler towing a huge concrete slab, whose driver was tailgating me impatiently.

 

I managed to escape his wrath not by exceeding the speed limit, but by escaping to the left lane.-

 

When i read this, i just feel the writer is very contradicting.

She said she was forced to the RIGHT lane but she escaped to the LEFT lane.

 

aiyah women all self contradict.

cannot drive yet talk so big. using sph as her soap box.

earn a few lousy dollars selling her soul to propagate propaganda.

pay for a car through her nose think she big fcuk.

let them rant lah.

s*ck my tui!!!!....in the wrong still think she is right... driver... i won't waste my time honking and high beam them...becos they will never go fast with me doing that...so i just speed off and overtake....

[Kelpie]

relax. 80% of women driver and at least 50% of singaporean men driver is like that.

 

mcf pple enlightened. so we think largely in the same way on this issue. of course u get a few oddballs like a certain Tas guy who has the same thinking as the reporter.

 

but don't expect everyone to have basic road manners. our fine driving education system cannot even get pple to follow basic rules, so don;t even think about our compatriots on the roads having road etiquette.

 

Even during those old days when I was learning to drive, the instructer told me never hog lane 1, if you're slow, please move to the left. Same thing for signal to change lane, don't expect other cars to give way to you just because you turn on your signal light.

idiot..

Wah lao, it is becos of people like these that they erect ERP gantries like they are feasting on Viagra.

 

Road hog centre lane? Overtake on right, switch back lane after overtaking and cruise all you want. Don't cruise on extreme right lane lah, peanut brain!!

 

Am I right?

Wah piang, a road hog. Plus some of her statements makes no sense, leading me to doubt if she really understand the traffic laws.

 

Firstly, Lorries are only NOT allowed on the extreme right lane. On 3 lanes, they can take the left and centre lanes. I do find myself irritated by slow moving lorries on the centre lanes, but LPPL, they're not wrong, only being ROAD HOGS.

 

Secondly the extreme right lane is for overtaking, not for people to leisurely drive at the Speed Limit! There's a reason why drivers (with basic courtesy) on the extreme right lane move to the immediate left lane when a faster moving car is coming up from behind!

 

Obviously the writer needs to learn more about our traffic laws, as well as brush up on her road courtesy.

 

Sigh, where do they get such people to become writers?

 

Well, that's what I do

[Poortraveller]

seem like a writer for torque magazine... full of craps

[Maroon5]

i agree with her on the trucks on 2nd lanes tho....its really jialat now!

[Boyboy]

maybe tas is the reporter?

 

 

[Boyboy]

i think not many pple learnt it tt way. as in, not many pple know the real reason for keeping left is to be courteous

 

they may think that left lane is for L plate. L for LEFT

 

so once they get license they go any lane they please. to them, speeding is wrong and tailgating also wrong. therefore they must be the one in the right if pple tailgate them in lane 1. they do not see that even though they are travelling at or above the limit, they are still hogging

[Qpik]

wrong bro, its cut from left n cut back to right aft tat

 

whose left and whose right....

 

must clarify cos some forummers still learning how to drive.

 

to me, extreme right is for overtaking. i always make it a point to check my rear mirror n filter when there's a faster moving vehicle preparing to take off.

[Latka]

The author is dead wrong to say that TP shud be more rigouros in enforcing speed limit. To begin with, u hardly see TP patrolling the expressways and catch those lorries/vans/buses hogging the centre lane when they shud be on the extreme left lane.

I HAVE come to a conclusion regarding Singaporean drivers: Few hold any regard for traffic laws.

 

This is what I have realised since I started driving a year ago and began coming into contact with other motorists.

 

Drive 1 year, maybe P plate just finished. Already think she is some moral compass for the masses. She needs to get her head checked, and do some liposuction to her ego.

simi LJ? KNN, go f**K a tree...

[Yr1985]

No need to tap ur brakes, just on your headlights, no brainers will thought you are doing ebrake and will ebrake as well. By the time, u are far far away liao, good luck to the ones behind her...TAT'S WHY NEVER TAILGATE SUCH DRIVERS! CUT THEM OFF FROM THE LEFT INSTEAD!

[Spade]

How to tell between a hogger and tailgater ?

 

You are a hogger when pple are able to overtake you from the left. If there is enough space for pple to take u on the left, there is enough space for u to move in the first place.

 

You are a tailgater when there is no way for the car in front of you to move to the left but u still push the car forcing him/her to drive faster.

 

I agree with you Good definition,

 

However, what happens if everybody is travelling on the rightmost lane at the speed limit? and some idiot tailgater comes behind you up close when obviously you have no space to maneuver? I meet this sort of idiot everyday more than the roadhoggers. Most of them when opportunity arises they cut to the middle lane, and then try to overtake you, when the space in front of you is so little already. I never give chance to such idiots.
