SGP tailgaters, you'f to learn from.....

[Limbeeeng]

the thing is after i let them pass, they start to drop speed and do only 160, ended up blocking me and i had to overtake them....... once i am in front of them and some other cars in front block and slow me down, these guys caught up again and started tailgating all over again....

What is the car model? Usually when I see this is those loupockcar Malaysia made potong . Maybe they jealous we Singaporean richer. Hihi

All kinds of cars, but mainly family men / women as drivers.... look like they are visitors from other parts of MY, not the regular NSHwy users.....

 

Maybe some of the MY drives dislike SGP drivers as you mentioned.... i am not bothered by them as long as they drive sensibibly / safely at any speed

[Darryn]

i dont know about you, in my 6 years of driving on AUS roads i hardly came across tailgaters, maybe i was just lucky. UK also, again, could be my luck. What about you? You sound like someone with lots of overseas driving experience.

 

In NZ the same - people seldom tailgate.

 

Generally speaking the 2 second rule is observed. I think part of it there is that there is a very real and genuine risk if tailgate as the roads are not as "protected" as here - there could be all sorts of things in front, so people tend to drive a bit more sensibly.

think it had to do with the culture.. chinese ppl tend to be more kan cheong in all things, hence always rushing.

Actually changing lane at very high speed must be careful as the higher the speed, the easier for vehicle to lose control.. so in event of out of sudden when behind car follow very closely and already travelling more than 180km/h exercise caution when changing lane.. do not get too kan jiong to let the driver pass and neglect the changing lane part. As a sudden steering wheel movement in high speed makes a lot of different of the way the vehicle behaves..

This must be a lousy car.

Well.. even good car also will lose control suddenly.. although lousy car cannot go too high speed.. but even if it is good car.. or watsoever.. one must remember life lies in the driver hands.. and if people always keep asume .. the car can go very stable at high speed.. ok.. but what happen if it suddenly lose control? How many of such driver can react fast enough or how many are professional driver? Even professional driver can lose control a car.. I am trying to say that one must remember when driving at high speed.. something that can cause car to lose control is the suddenly change of steering direction.. so I just giving advise to those people who is very eager to give way to faster car behind to be more forcus on driving and change lane smoothly and not so kan chiong that keep want faster let the faster car behind overtake or wat.

 

Whatever the behind car pressure or follow very closely.. one must be calm and steady.. if traffic conditions don't allow don't force to change lane just for faster car behind to overtake also very dangerous..

[Acieed]

Actually, the most scary is to see good cars and sedans nevertheless, but going at high speeds with only regular brakes and regular tires that do not have sufficient speed rating for the speeds they are travelling at. Can run, cannot stop.

And also to check for tyre pressure and make sure it is in correct or slightly higher pressure that one would normally pump in normal driving conditions.. as the higher the speed, more heat is generated.. if tyre pressure too low.. than tyre may risk of being burst out in worst case scenario.

How can a car very stable @ hi speed suddenly lose control? Unless there is a change in road condition + lousy driver.

 

A car that is good for hi speed driving will stay straight regardless whether hand on or off steering.

 

Quick change in direction requires practise.

it seems an asian thing to tailgate etc except for the jap.......... but i have driven in all the countries, so not very sure, just guessing

 

generally kangaroos and kiwis are more considerate drivers although there are always exceptions

quite true.... always rushing, always fighting to be at the front of the queue.... life so short and must do it meh??

this true......... any change of directions at high speed will 'disstabilise' the dynamics of the car.... if the driver and/ or car setup is not used to such sudden changes and over-corrects / reacts, the car will be further 'dissabilised' and things will get from bad to worse... seen that on highways and tracks also

true.... what's the point if the car can go fast, very fast, but cannot stop / take corners..... fast in, never come out.... sad story

In short, is the car designed for Autobahn??

power- or handling- or braking- wise?? or all?

 

autobahn vs b-roads, different settings............ one is pure bashing, the other needs finess

 

but i am not qualified to say anything much here coz never been on the autobahn, and probably will never have the desire to do so

Waliao how to tailgate when you cannot even find a single car on the road?? [laugh]

But seriously though...I have driven in the South Island where I encounter maybe 2 or 3 cars on the roads in a single day but all going the opposite direction.

That's why I love NZ.
