terrible. obviously he was in the wrong and yet he could say he signaled and so had the right to swerve out so suddenly and dangerously. [laugh]

It seems we all have forgotten the olden time where authorities do not want to jail but rather send for work correction order to perform public cleaning. Then let reporters take photos and put into paper to shame them. Especially rich people do worry on such publicity.

 

Initially just fine but don't work. If it comes again, the it is the authority to revert to past punishments. It seems to solve that time.

Very hard not to lose your cool in such situations. But I draw a very stern line on road rage, never get physical and never endanger other road users in the process.

Had a similar incident recently too, only I was on the first lane and this mofo stationary and stuck in lane 2, swerved out into my lane when I was just meters away causing me to e-brake (ABS and all) and skidded to my right (luckily got filter lane to turn right ahead). I missed him by mere inches at a stop!

 

When I question him at the next traffic lights he claimed.. "I got signal, you don't want to give way these's nothing I can do" :blink:

 

Another reason to install a car cam. [;)]

I would have sent the vid to TP. They will let the guy know what else he could do. [rolleyes]

I dunno sia...I drive carefully people f**k me and say I go too slow...I drive too fast and people f**k me again and say I drive like a siao zhar bo... <_< That's why I usually just let my husband drive [:p]

 

My take is regardless of the speed you're travelling, as long as you're decisive & patient on the road it should be ok. But it's always numbskulls that like to test everyones patience.

With so many road rage incidents I think there's only 2 ways to solve this...take self defense lessons and install dashcam. Then you sure safe one.

i used to think that SGreans driving sucks. then, as i business travel more often to places like Shanghai, Jarkata, Manila, Bangkok.. etc (i haven't experienced the famous Vietnamese cities yet), i suddenly realized that the traffic back home feels so much orderly and peaceful. so these days, i no longer bitch so much about local traffic.

 

but i noticed a difference between the chaotic traffic condition and the mentality of the drivers. in these chaotic traffic overseas, the drivers seemed to take it in their stride and not be emotional about it. i think if we export some of our home-grown angry drivers overseas, they might just go mad over there.

There are two extremes of it. You have seen one extreme.

 

The other extreme is those countries in Europe, America and Australia where every driver give way to the other driver or having a space of 1 to 3 cars length while in motion. Everything is orderly and everyone is so gracious on the roads.

 

In my opinion, we are in between but we are more inclined towards the behaviour where you have been with more good days or years ahead.

I went on holiday to Italy and the drivers there are very gracious. Even when is not zebra they still stop and let you cross on the small roads. Here in SG even zebra the driver expect pedestrian give way <_<
