OK..i will write a lengthy one next time :-

 

BTW, you been there before?

 

That one - no.

 

I have seen many roads where the right of way between pedestrian and car is unclear.

 

When I was learning to drive, anytime a car crosses a footpath (i.e when turning out from a business driveway) the pedestrain has the right of way.

 

Not sure who is in the wrong - but it could be as much a difference in understanding as much as anything else... [grouphug][wave]

couple of months back i was leave the prawning pool near bishan/Sim Ming. One way turn left. 4 ang mo (2m 2f)crossing the road like their father's own it, just walk and expecting vehicles to stop for them... I horn at them and the 2 males was pointing some sign at me. Knn...talent indeed.

 

Not exactly sure about your situation, but as a general guide, if we are turning into a minor road/lane from a major one, and there is NO zebra crossing mark on the road, it is always good to give way to the pedestrian in such situations. Often time they have already started to cross the road before they realised your car is turning, so best to just let them continue walking across the minor road rather than honking them and asking them to take a 180deg turn, or worse make some younger children panic by the honking.

They are not used to being treated like that in Asia. They go Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, walk around like king, all the vehicles stop for them. You horning them is a big dent to their ego, you know?

 

sori, not in bodohland.

 

if the way they behave here and behaving similar way in bodohland,

either they laid in hospital bed, or in mortury in bodohland [bigcry]

Dunno what the race of driver has to do with it.

Is it because you seldom see ang moh driving badly so you wish to highlight.

 

To me a bad driver is a bad driver.

There are enough of we Singaporeans as bad drivers, prolly more %age wise than any other on our roads.

 

Inferiority complex.

 

Just like how we keep telling one another "driver, not car" to stop generalisation, the race/nationality card playing should stop.

I got horn when I stopped at a Zebra crossing when I see a women at a pram at the pavement in Switzerland. Apparently, zebra crossing there doesn't mean perdistan have right of way, but its still better to be safe than sorry.

 

You do not see I go to forum & rant about Switzerland drivers. I have seen bad drivers everywhere, & I have been driving in quite a few places, but Singapore rank by a country mile, on the fluency of bad drivers I have seen, for a first world country I have been to.

 

If all (or most) Singapore drivers are angels on the road, then maybe the thread hold water, but anyone that is honest will know its not the case. If I have to start a thread about bad drivers in Singapore (which i bet at least half are Singaporeans), I will need to start more than 10 threads a day.

 

Sorry, but this kind of race, ethical bashing should stop, unless the argument hold water, (say behavior is not common to Singaporeans, like not wearing a shirt when in public places).

yes. when i was in australia and in germany, i have not seen any ang moh who drive badly and they sledom use horn in their own country.

maybe they got influenced by our sinkie style after staying too long here.
