Ken4555 1st Gear May 26, 2011 Share May 26, 2011 IF ALL YOUR FRIENDS DARE NOT GET LIFTS FROM YOU...... IF PEOPLE EVER COMMENTED ON YOUR HOPELESS DRIVING.... IF YOU HEAR HONKING VERY OFTEN WHEN YOU DRIVE.... IF OUT OF THE BLUE YOU GET MIDDLE FINGERS/STARES/HEAD SHAKES BY OTHER DRIVERS... you could be a road hogger.... think its time to consider getting professional help on driving... if not you need to stop driving before you kill someone.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civic6228 6th Gear May 26, 2011 Share May 26, 2011 All the road hoggers will probably tell u that there is a speed limit and they are keeping to the speed limit. They think that they have paod road tax and they are entitled to use the road. With or without emergency vehicles behind them .... it is none of their business. They are "brain less" IMO ..... there are just too many out there now and i have given up .. I will just overtake them on the left and move on. I was in Okahoma and the driver will stop their cars at the side of the road if they see a emergency vehicles behind. But I am not expecting this to happen here. I would be glad if these driver do not road hog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in order not to stress the patient, the private ambulances only wail the siren when obstructed. 80km/h is quite fast for some new ambulance drivers (ever got one confessed he flipped and rolled the ambulance he drove about a year before we met, when he was new driver).

Of course, you dont get to see it here........ ever once saw that happening here. a few cars in front was trying move aside to let an ambulance thru. but guess what happened next? some moron pulled out of his lane to try n squeeze thru the cars that moved aside (as if the cars parted for him...!) and landed up blocking the way instead. hope that idiot was one of those whose pic got snappped by the SCDF ambulance n given a fine.

I would be glad if these driver do not road hog. Heard many years back, it was SGD100/- fine for obstructing ambulance. Good luck, if the patient/next of kin get to sue the roadhogger obstructing the ambulance (I believe the lawyers know how to claim any compensation).

Kiario 5th Gear May 26, 2011 Share May 26, 2011 $100 fine is nothing to them. i propose jail term for blocking ambulance, with the video on the ambulance, can see you actually block the ambulance for how long. if the person plead not paying attention and cannot see or hear the ambulance with the siren behind, then okay, revoke the bugger license straightaway as he/she is a danger to other road user anyway.
