Reckless BMW1 Series Driver

[Kelvingoh45]

after reading TS thread and what he stand, i now understand why singapore keep having so many accidents on the road every day.

 

I do share the same view as you somehow.Accidents happens when both patry do not want to give way to each other.Just like in a marriage,couples always divorce because of the same reason.If one party is willing to give in, the ending will sure be a better one.Driving on the road is not all about highway code or just who is right and who is wrong.Many a times i saw ppl posting up viedos on MCF showing how wrong a driver is.Alot of times i also see ts itself accelerating towards the so call inconsiderate driver instead of slowing down.

As for Ts, did you just installed your camera? Is wide angle camera a latest technology?

Seriously driving in SG can be too stressful at times... usually I'll just let these fellas filter into my lane as long as they are not the super reckless type and thinks he owns the road type... as long as I don't have to use my brakes, but just lift of my gas to let him/her in, I think it's fine.. what i can't stad are those who get into your lane and then drive at a slower speed that you were doing before... that really irks me..

 

I have your same thoughts too.

Should share and influence more to drive safely, but I do not advocate safely as slowly.

Particularly during start stop situation.

Most accidents (minor) happened at slow traffic speed or within the speed limit.

Serious and fatal ones are those that have excessive speed, but lower on the statistic.

Yes Lane 1 at ECP, morning traffic before MBS.

That a little more slippery than the rest of ECP. Do be more careful to slow down. I used that route one in a while, and do not like the road camber as the road meanders along. I believe the road designer never drove a car before.

Yes installed for a few months, nope wide angle is not technology.

 

It came out before the DSLR era when(SLR) film were still in the heydays. Minolta was the 1st camera manufacturer to produce autofocus technology in the 80s.

 

But wide angle lenses because of the long depth of field, and distortion at the sides, provide a vastness and far perspective.

The angle that provide the close to eye perspective is a 50mm lense on a full frame DSLR or on a SLR and 33mm on a camera with camera that is not full frame as the magnification is 1.5 times.

You are right.

 

That was only in basic and advance theory.

 

In real life not many practice it.

 

Though I no saint, but I do take pride in not causing other drivers to jammed on their brakes to the best I can.

 

I'm proud to say that I'm still practising it! Unless there's no cars around la, then can zip and zap whenever you want.

Let's say if that accident between you and the 1er really happened within the junction, I think lane change within junction can be one factor against him.

What puzzled me is that, why he/she even bother to signal? Maybe he/she is just one kayu driver, thought once signal the whole world will stop for him/her to change lane.

There were frequent road changes then, when construction of the MBS was still ongoing.

That stretch is still bumpy particularly when East going direction

If u can't take my comments constructively, please stop here.

 

IMHO, ur skill is so so only & i won't consider it defensive.

 

1st of all, when the traffic pull away, u did not match speed. That's inconsiderate.

 

2nd of all, in defensive driving, u would anticipate that 1 series would cut in in front of u. U did not & come here KPKB. I would close up the gap & make sure that 1 series got no space to maneuver.

You sound like a "typical Singaporean" driver!

 

Can imagine you at the urinals, accidentally splash onto next user, means the next user wasn't good enough "pee-er" to dodge your splash!

 

Wake up your bloardy idea, friend.

He signal because do not want to be labelled as having car with broken signal lights.

Given the same situation I would signal too. Would reduce the level of guilt and liability (if accident really occurs)

Though in real life scenario, I would have signal, follow the bus with a larger gap(can see the condition on the right lane) and waited for the right lane to clear before filtering in.

Westward also a little slippery. Just need to slow down. I no longer practice the handbrake stablising as both rear tire are with punctures repaired.

Thanks for the heads up!

Then both will bang, waste time, effort and $$.

Hold back traffic and cause all motorist blood pressure to rise.

wa seh! you are soooo "thoughtful"!!

try STOP DRIVING AND save the earth la! lmfao, talk so much nonsense and explainations, lol

 

Cannot take fellow forumers comments ah?

 

When u start a thread here, dont expect ALL people to applause with you

[Blueraven]

I agree with TS it is obvious that he did that on purpose. Please send the video to TP, we do not need people who purposely cause accident to create trouble for you and cause more jams to delay everyone else.

 

I must say i am super impressed with TS's composure and anger management. I would have blasted my horn non-stop!

[Marquee]

Have not been here for long time. Sunday eat too full, so come here look look see see.

 

My 1st impression is that TS just got driving license and driving your first car....impression hor, if TS you are old bird driver and owned many cars, that is you.

 

Similiar to most forumers here, I meet all sort of driving conditions everyday,. Change lane w/o signal, road hog, pedestrain jay walk, children ran across road, car shoot red and etc are common. It is almost a second nature in me to become defensive on road.

 

TS you spent $$ to install a DVR to point out faults, making reference to wide angle lens, advance driving theory and highway code, sure, it is good thing and should be encouaged and practise. But hor, nobody is a saint all the time. You may one day meet a similiar road condition and you have split second to decide whatever you need to do next.

 

Whether the driver did it on purpose is not important, the matter is do you realise you are insisting your right of way?

 

So relax, enjoy your ride.

Upon reading the posts, I think most of us know about defensive driving but we don't do it all the time. Sometimes it's ego, frustration or being in a rush.

But if some of us strive to drive defensively, anticipate others' mistakes and give way where possible, there will be fewer accidents and hence more happiness all round.

Forget the black sheep on the roads - there aren't that many.

thats exactly why drivers must avoid accidents..its not worth for all parties involved..10% of errant motorists with big ego creating problems for the 90% of safe drivers and insurance premiums kept rising..i'm with u on this reckless lane changing

What i meant is to close up the gap before 1 series show intention. and not after.
