Msia bus travelling at almost 100, lane 1

[Nonewid]

Was travelling home on the expressway, both kids are sleeping at the back so I only travelled at around 80km/h (lane 3).

 

At one point, I was tailgated by a bus (imagine looking into your rearview mirror, and the whole back windscreen is blocked - you can only see the bus and its headlight, not even the sky). It is freaking SCARY and i seriously felt very threatened. If I needed to brake, I'm pretty sure it's gonna crash into me.

 

So, I was glad when it finally buay tahan my slowness and went to lane 2 (around 8sec in video), and immediately the bike that was travelling there siam the imminent barrage.. It continued to chiong until it finally decided to go onto lane 1 (around 31sec in video).

 

It's a Malaysian coach.. And I'm pretty sure that it's travelling at 100km/h or more. Is there a speed limit for all these buses? Not sure how you guys feel by watching the video, but for me, I really think it's an accident waiting to happen.

anyway the speed limit is the same whether local or foreign but there is simply no enforcement

If you are so concerned, did you report to the TP?

[Nemo6089]

To me is scary when a prime mover or a big lorry or tour bus tail gate behind me and high constantly high beam to force me to get off lane 2 on the expressway.

 

And it becomes even more scary when I am riding my motorcycle. Will immediately switch lane to "Siam" such hero drivers.

 

 

[Jman888]

bus on lane 1 doing 100km/h is common, especially along AYE toward Tuas. Dump truck going at 90km/h on lane 2 is also common.

[WTF]

I guessed our friends on the other side of the causeway also complaining about S'pore-registered coaches speeding at speed of 130km/h on their NSHW..........

[BlueOldMan]

Wow imagine u got 3 kids behind, you be cruising at 50

Then you see every vehicles overtaking you

More scary man

[MTRAC]

When I was travelling at 110 kmh on the most left lane of NSHW

A lot of time, I also kanna tailgate by these coach buses. It is very normal

for these buses to travel above 110kmh when they know that there

are no speed trap ard that area. Most of them cruise ard 130 kmh.

 

On the bright side, u follow behind them sure wont get speeding summon.

You don't cruise at 50 on expressway if traffic is clear... That's very dangerous..
