Lsflsf 1st Gear December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 Tailgating situation is quite common in singapore, personally i have been tailgated for no apparent reason many times, even a kangoo once. Would like to know other than the ego thing, why do people tailgate? If in front of me no car then this joker keep tailgating me should i just slam my brake and claim a new bumper? Is it because they are too rich and too much time on hand and cant wait to create a accident? Will i be rejected for a insurance claim if a joker tailgate me and i slam on my brake (scared ma) with no car in front of me? I figured out that if someone want to play tailgate means he/she is ready to pay for accidental damages right. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention what were you driving? Car, heavy vehicle, motorcycle, or all of them? No mention when were you most often tailgated? daytime, nightime, or both? No mention who tailgated you most often? cars, commercial vehicles, heavy vehicles, motorcycles, all of them? No mention of the visiblility when such tailgating took place? No mention why should you slam brakes to claim new bumper (You claim reverse into tree/wall to make claim) No mention if this your version of road rage? No mention if you were deployed by motor insurers to build up accident claims statistic I believe no way we could give helpful/useful comments Edited December 2, 2011 by Good-Carbuyer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertlsc Neutral Newbie December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 I don't understand why most of the driver maintain the speed limit while driving on lane one while driving on the express way. Why can't they just give way to those people who drive faster then them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think why you are alway been tailgated? Is it because you love driving your own sweet pace at LANE 1??? Simple courtesy, if there's a car behind you and the road is clear, just swallow you pride/ego, filter and let them pass. Simple as that. All problem solved! This basic road courtesy is prominent throughout in most developed countries. In the German Autobahn, if you fail to give way to a faster vehicle behind you , the next moment the POLICE will stop you and summon you for failing to give way. In Aussie, if you fail to give way to a faster vehicle behind you, the vehicle will speed up from other lanes and cut you off, winding down their windows and show you the FINGER while shout "STUPID ASIAN GET OFF THE F**ING ROAD!" In Russia, if you fail to give way to a faster vehicle behind you, their army will bulldoze they way through you ripping your car ok I was just kidding on the Russia part. If you wanna "choot stun" then you are WORST that the tailgater, if things did not go well, you might end up not only having a smashed bumper, you may end up in the hospital with whiplash even death, no amount of claim will be worth it. Do not let STUPIDITY FACTOR take over your mind. Edited December 3, 2011 by Pocus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiener 1st Gear December 3, 2011 Share December 3, 2011 Just a question, I am not a frequent user of lane 1. Actually I avoid it most of the time cos I stick to speed limit + 10kmh. With this kind of speed, is it road hogging if I stick to lane 2 and 3? Cos lane 4 has too many slow moving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthrevan Supercharged December 3, 2011 Share December 3, 2011 I don't understand why most of the driver maintain the speed limit while driving on lane one while driving on the express way. Why can't they just give way to those people who drive faster then them. what if the front is packed with cars..just few cars length away? and the lane 2 is filled with cars as well?

Why can't they just give way to those people who drive faster then them. No mention if they were within the speed limit trying to overtake any Lane 2 vehicle(s), especially if it is a Police car they were overtaking No mention if they were on handphone while driving along Lane 1 No mention if they were unable to filter into Lane 2 for any reason(s) I believe it may helps if you report such observations to the Authority.

Somebody 1st Gear December 3, 2011 Share December 3, 2011 i've been tailgated a few times on lane 1. i hate it, coz they put my safety at risk. i usually move to lane 2 when i realize there's a faster car coming up. but when i don't realize, i'm much happier getting a simple flick of the high beam to make me take notice, then have someone put my life at risk by tailgating me. i understand the need for people in lane 1 to give way to faster vehicles, and i have no qualms doing that at all. but i cannot agree with tailgating being the method of informing the car in front that he is too slow. it puts EVERYONE'S life at stake.

RogueGTR Neutral Newbie December 3, 2011 Share December 3, 2011 If in front of me no car then this joker keep tailgating me should i just slam my brake and claim a new bumper? You're simply amazing man, have the audacity to sttate the above Unless you're on the SLOWEST/Leftmost lane & no cars infront of you & you get tailgated-then you'll have resounding overall support. However if every driver practice courtesy by allowing any ride to pass them when there's none in front by moving over the the left then there'll be no tailgating nor road hoggers. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
