Pusiwagon 2nd Gear September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Shout out to the driver of Toyota SKB2524 - thanks sir, and I am very grateful to you for your kind act. Was returning to Spore via Tuas yesterday afternoon at 4:30pm, and the Malaysian Customs was jammed packed with the line of cars almost reaching the last toll station. I followed a line of cars and turns out that the line merges with another line of cars as we approach the immigation counters. All the cars were rushing and driving dangerously to try to close gaps etc and basically not let anyone in, rather than allowing one car from each lane to merge alternatively - so much for human graciousness I thought at that time. I even witnessed some near accidents on account of the kiasu-ness. When my "turn" came, I signalled and just waited for a gap. 6 cars accelerated and jerked their way past me just to prevent me from coming in. To the driver of SKB2524, thanks for your kind act of holding back to allow me into the line. You truely display the graciousness that so many of us lack in the modern society now. If anyone knows this driver, pls convey my thanks (in addition to my thumbs up and wave at that point in time). ↡ Advertisement 17 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoverofCar 6th Gear September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Sometime it just take both way to show some graciousness. Usually if the other party is polite to signal with enough advance notice....I will be more than willing to give way ....if the fellow take for granted....sorry...no way...go behind me... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vid Hypersonic September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Sometimes gracious driving will help to speed things up. If everybody tries to close the gap not allowing other cars in, you are actually slowing things down for yourself too because nobody can actually move. Give way a bit and life will be more bearable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktglfc Hypersonic September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Good to see a kind soul once awhile in our hectic rush world :) You give a bit, I give a bit, and everyone can move faster, and happier :) What a wonderful world :)) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosaria Twincharged September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I always find this kind of behaviour quite ridiculous. I can understand it if there is somebody changing lanes just to cut the queue in front - these types should not be welcomed. But when the "cutting in" is due to merging of lanes - then it is not the driver's fault for having to join up. In such case, I wonder about people's mentality in trying to block such "genuine cases". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 The "merging" lanes at the customs are damn stupid. Someone needs to draw some lines on the road so people will know which are actual lanes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung 6th Gear September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I gave up signalling in Singapore. You signal, they speed up..... worse cause of the make of car I am driving.... When people give way to me, I will thumb up and wave like Miss Universe......WORLD PEACE Sometime it just take both way to show some graciousness. Usually if the other party is polite to signal with enough advance notice....I will be more than willing to give way ....if the fellow take for granted....sorry...no way...go behind me... But em a gallon of Plastidip to redraw the lines.... The "merging" lanes at the customs are damn stupid. Someone needs to draw some lines on the road so people will know which are actual lanes.

Evojason 1st Gear September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Yes I think we need more of this kind of encouragement instead of those bad drivers being posted here and giving tp a chance to fine them. Hopefully MCF will post more of this kind of thread and will turn bad drivers into good ones and tp can be more lenient instead of just fine and more fine on bad drivers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellandross Supersonic September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I'm that type of driver who gives way when the other car signals but not to those who chiong and try to cut queue. Don't pray pray I have the MCF decal on my back windscreen hor i do ease off on the gas pedal whenever cars up front signals to change lane. but i have about 5-7 seconds of buffer before my patience runs out. some drivers are super indecisive about it, ai mai ai mai... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Agree. So much so that there are times I slow down let ppl pass they hesitate.. Then I wave them by then they realise. Quite sad actually as this kind of giving way culture provided the other driver does his part early should be the norm as opposed to the exception. Anyway kudos and we do out part too 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
