Detach8 5th Gear October 30, 2011 Share October 30, 2011 I'm not sure if any if you follow LTAsg twitter feeds. I'm amused by the number of accidents occurring during peak hours. Why can't Singaporeans drive properly? I just got a quote for 3rd party cover... no fire & theft... price before NCD $1,800. I'm 29 this year. This is bloody ridiculous. But I can link up why... look at the rate of accidents! I've started a Facebook page... please share and create awareness on the rate of accidents daily. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Courteous-Dr...309970765684932 I hope everybody become courteous drivers like what I've experienced in other countries (Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand). It will be so much easier to drive... and I'm sure it will reduce the rate of accidents. Ever since I returned from overseas I've toned down a LOT in my driving. Now I leave a safe following distance, give way to whatever (people, car) and use my horn less. I find myself having a smoother ride as a result. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic October 30, 2011 Share October 30, 2011 The major factor is your age, driving experience and the car you drive. I just got a renewal of $600+ for comprehensive ins after 50% ncd. But I'm not that young a driver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detach8 5th Gear October 30, 2011 Author Share October 30, 2011 (edited) it's not a sports car in case you were wondering. i'm looking at a used 17 year old merc 200E (w124). so now you have my ride. put it this way -- if there are no accidents, workshops have no repairs to use for jacking up the prices. car prices are damn high now. the used cars are easily sold at twice their paper value. part of your insurance cost is going to go towards all these inflated prices because they will eventually have to pay for it, especially for those with comprehensive cover. i just hope we can all be courteous drivers. singaporeans drive as if a 1 second difference would kill them. we don't even give way to emergency vehicles. says a lot about our society. in other countries the traffic would come to a dead halt for emergency vehicles to pass. here? all TAILGATING behind the ambulance who's clearing the way for us.

Are yu trying to say Singaporeans can not drive properly because of the why you drive? I like to believe not. I believe you would agree that it is rather difficult for courtesy if put up a tread in such discourteous manner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you would agree that it is rather difficult for courtesy if put up a tread in such discourteous manner. For drivers who never makes any claim say for more than 10 years (like yours truly), the NCB should be higher than the artificial 50%..... they have made enough money from these drivers. The main culprit of ever increasing premiums: dishonest workshops / owners who make inflated / false claims: Put extreme heavy penalties on these people. So far CASE / AA are toothless in making premiums a fair figures to ordinary (honest) drivers who seldom or never make claims. :angry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not to be putting a wet blanket of your 'dream'. However, they are the creators/inventors/benficiaries of all these accident claims. The number of automatic transmission cars involved in accidents many times that of manual transmission. Why allow for a different driving licence to have more accidents? To create/sustain more opportunities for accidents? Why the motor insurers do not differentiate premiums between the two either? To encourage more accident claims? I believe the only victims are the motorists. All other parties confidence for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
