Walkingtree 1st Gear April 8, 2012 Share April 8, 2012 Are they still teaching "L" drivers to tap their brakes when they are uncomfortable with another car following behind them? Personally, i think this is one of the stupidest thing ever taught. Everyday i face this kind of people on the roads, even when there's absolutely no cars ahead of them. If you're not comfortable with matching the flow of traffic, then find an opportunity to keep to the left. If cannot or refuse to keep left, just maintain your speed and leave it to the driver behind to overtake you either left or right when an opportunity presents itself. There are even some idiots who intentionally slow themselves down to the same speed as the car beside so as to deny the car behind with the opportunity to overtake. Why need to do something like that? It is already so blardy irritating when somebody hogs the road. To tap their brake some more is simply dumb, and to intentionally slow down to prevent being overtaken is an invitation for retaliation. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do drive safe and with care. I also try not to let my safe and careful driving become an irritation to others. Driving is a social activity after all, especially in our cosmopolitan island. As with all social activities, one must always be mindful that what one does affects others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To tap their brake some more is simply dumb, and to intentionally slow down to prevent being overtaken is an invitation for retaliation. i have seen this happen a number of times and most times its mostly elderly drivers who are driving Auto cars, or taxi drivers who from manual taxi switch to Auto taxi and they are not used to it yet. Truth to be told most of these ex manual Drivers are afraid of driving Auto cars cos its still Alien to them. Normaly i wld just try to overtake them and drive on. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
