SG Drivers - Why like to step brake so often?

[Hshs]

Without any car in front or the car in front doesn't stepping brake at all,

or even going up slope. Why SG drivers like to step brake so often?

I only can think of few reasons below.

 

1)Following to close

 

2)Suddenly realise over speed limit.

 

3)Opposite road accident.

 

4)Using HP

 

5)Seeing

 

6)New licence

 

7)Wire short circuit

 

Or any other?

 

I had experience a car in front of me keep on stepping brake from SLE - CTE - AYE

Don't understand why

yeah. i hate those drivers who keep braking too.

i find that quite irritating!

hmmmmmm... small ballers pls move to the left. =x

[Pentium77]

very simple,u r following too close or tail-gating the veh infront of u that he/she step brake to warn u to keep a safe distance

[Ssbcc]

Maybe tapping foot to the music

Seriously though, some drivers don't know that they are doing this kind of thing. I had a colleague who didn't know that she was driving with the high beam on for months until I sat in her car and told her.

Some cars brake damn good or the driver very skillful, by the time he stepped the brake, it means total stop or nearly stop. The driver behind sure scare the hell out of himself .

 

Usually, infront brake light on, the car will roll for a few seconds but some just need 1 or 2 secs.

another reason because u are not sure of the way and suddenly u brake and slow down to check to prevent going the wrong way.. So if u are tailgating then there is nothing u can do except to change lane..

i wanted to start the same topic but was too lazy... i am also very puzzled with some drivers behavior... jus take today for example... a taxi driver driving at lane 1 at cTE, driving at 80-90km/hr... the next car at the front was at least 100m away. I was behind around 5 to 6 car lenght. even on a straight rd, the taxi keep tapping on brake. i dunno whether he is trying to prevent me from tailgate him, or his leg was cramp.. the frequency he tap on his brake really doent make any sense (almost once every 10 to 20 sec)...

 

In the end, i really cannot tahan him and overtake his taxi from left...

These sights are especially common on PIE where drivers like to brake at the bends

I have a bad habit of tapping the brakes 3 times before I slow down.

I only need to change my brake pad 4-5 year per set. Or mileage 80-100k.

Now 60k still thick left about half. Don't know how about the rest.

Too much Initial-D-late-braking-omg-how-did-he-do-it moments.

8) Below average anticipation.

9) Poor motor skill. Unable to regulate speed using the accelerator alone.

10) Car's horsepower too good la.

....

101) It's a Toyota.

[Ilmw]

agreed!!

 

i always point out such drivers to my gf beside me, and say "he brake for wat ah?!". nowadays, before i even have time to react, my gf will point the car out and say "ooi! he brake wat ah?!". [ya, she's going BBDC soon]

 

i've confirmed such braking is useless: right in front of me, this car in lane 1 is always braking, with a car in lane 2 keep pace next to him. the two cars never separate! so all the taps on the brake is actually pointless! except to kill the brake pad faster. physiological?

 

singaporeans scare die mentality?
