My answer for tailgaters are always...no matter how fast you chiong you always meet me at the next traffic light.

 

Please stay within the speed limit. Wanna race go track and settle one on one. Though I hate to target the car models...but please stop racing with your Sonata, Jazz/Fit, Latios, VIOS and Lanc GLX.......

just give way lor.

 

that time i was on my way to bro's camp in sungei gedong, on PIE towards tuas. was on 2nd lane (IIRC, it was a 3 lane expressway for that stretch) and doing about 90km/hr. checked mirror and saw this van coming quite fast, so i siam to the 3rd lane to let him overtake (which was clear) cause goods vehicles cant touch lane 1 ma.

then the van chionged past quite fast. realized it was a malaysian van. :mellow:

 

like that life's easier for everyone ma. i dont have to keep checking rear mirror in fear the van will rear end me and he gets to chiong to wherever he needs to get to. you never know what kind of emergency he's having. [;)]

There has to be a way to tell the car in front you need to overtake him.

Choices are

 

High beam: a lot of blind motorist

Sound the horn: people think you want a fight. Not sure why SG like that

Tailgate: signals that I am going faster then you

 

Which would you prefer?

guys .. just wanna check with u all drivers

 

 

Say ..you are driving along bke , aye ...etc and you are on the right lane at around 100km/hr , while the speed limit is 90km/hr ....then suddenly a car starts to tailgate you forcing u to step on the gas .... will you speed up or just maintain on your 100km/hr ? who is correct , who is wrong ,

 

Are u in the wrong if u refuse to speed up nor go to other lane for him to overtake as there is no road hogging in this instance and u are already 10km/hr above the speed limit ?

 

no firing here ..just need some opinion from you guys in here

 

It's not about speed limit. It's about being gracious and giving way..... You should just filter to 2nd lane and give way. You can then filter back and travel whatever speed you want.

 

Alot if SG drivers don't realise this cos they are so cocoon in their on world thinking that they are always right, citing speed limit as an excuse.

 

In Aussie, if you don't give away, prepare to be curse and fingered! they are more vocal..

In Germany Autobahn, if you don't give way REGARDLESS OF SPEED, the police will come and book you for road logging

exactly!!! [thumbsup]

 

When I encounter a car in lane one going slow, I will normally move closer to them, most of the time they will shift to the left and I will always give them a [wave] to show my appreciation.

 

When that don't work, I will give a flash of high beam and follow by signalling right.

 

But sometimes you will encounter some egoistic idiots which seems oblivious to the surroundings. You horn, flash, tailgate also no use. Just try to overtake from the left lor. :angry:

Neutral Newbie

Everyday CTE alot of you this kind of ppl drive 90 - 100 stick at lane 1... Then when high beam you, you buay song speed up to 110, cant you just siam one side, simple right? If kia si, drive 70 follow lorry or van, safer. Wont get summon.

What if TP driving on lane 1 @ 100km/h?

^_^

 

 

just follow lor..

 

sometimes saw those neighbourhood police car driving at lane 2 for 80-90km/hr..

 

will slowly glide at 100km/hr on lane 1 till he disappear and continue my usual speed.. of course without tailgate behind..

 

i really really wish to hog in front of the road hoggers sometimes to let them feel what is to be road hog like but everytime i overtake them from lane 2.. there is such a big gap in front of me that i do not want to waste them..

The LAW states that you must give way..

  Quote
Road hogging is proscribed under Rule 5 of the Road Traffic Rules, which states that (a) every vehicle which is moving at a slow rate of speed shall be driven as close to the left-hand side of the roadway as possible, and (b) every vehicle shall at all times be driven in such manner as not to obstruct vehicles moving at a faster speed. Breach of that Rule is an offence under Section 131 of the Road Traffic Act, which attracts a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine or 3 months

Just let these people go by moving aside... No point getting caught for speeding or even getting into an accident just because you got pressured...

 

As far as those many saints here may go... You might be labelled as a road hogger...

asking this becoz there was once i ride with my fren , he was saying that since he is travelling at 100km/hr and above , he feels that there was no such a need to give way when he was already traveling above speed limit , hence he is not road hogging so no need to give way when such idiots are tailgating him

 

Your fren hv not driven in NSHW ??? [:p]

filter to left as many bros mentioned / let the rear vehicle ot .. be it in Sgp / bolehland..

maybe he / she wanna to die faster.. [laugh]
