I have been thinking of this issue for a while and have in my small way attempted to be a better driver when I hit the road. Since this is a car forum and the year is coming to an end, I thought it might be apt for me to come clean and make a commitment towards contributing to a better driving experience.

 

Towards this, I have made some resolutions in writing to improve my driving etiquette with immediate effect. Of course there would be people who feel that perhaps we should conduct ourselves better in all aspects of our short tour in this mortal world, but for now, I would start a small step towards contributing to good driving experiences to all fellow motorists in this little red dot of ours.

 

Hence, my resolutions wrt being a driver are:

 

1. Give way to fellow motorists;

2. Apologize instantaneously when I made a mistake;

3. Stick to speed limits;

4. Give way to pedestrians;

5. Stop fiddling with gadgets while driving;

6. Give up parking spot when I am not in a hurry;

7. Less critical of mistakes committed by other drivers; and

8. Cater more time to reach my destinations; and

9. Wear a smile whenever I am behind the wheel.

 

Having resolved to the above, and being a lesser mortals, I would confess that I may still commit the below less than acceptable conducts:

 

1. Park illegally (for some conveniences while doing quick errands provided I do not obstruct normal traffic flow);

2. Cheat 5-10 minutes on my parking coupons before and after parking ;

 

I hope in my small way I can contribute to better road safety and driving experience to fellow motorists and myself.

 

Cheers!

 

Totally agree with this list of resolutions! It would be a very meaningful and good campaign to drive! It would make the roads in Singapore more pleasant to drive!

Since most traffic accidents took place within the respective speed limits, its not so logical to have speed limits for safety reason, for most road users. Speed limits useful for newly qualified motorists who are in need of some guides where they are unfamilair with the routes.

Example: Devil's Bend

Sometimes I read a post and totally got no idea where the poster is coming from.

 

This is one of those time.

And please remind yourself from becoming a driving instructor

If you want to be a better driver, a better person, DO IT TODAY.

 

There's no need to wait for any dates.

 

If you wait for dates, you're probably not going to do it when it comes.

I used to do it too. Give comments, pass remarks and so on.

I have since corrected this habit. Just sit and relax.

If we all do our parts in driving safely, and be more considerate, it will make driving experience here unforgettable.

[Aukang]

May I add two please?

 

1. I resolve to use my car horn, even a short squeak, except in cases when the actions of the driver are dangerous and may cause accidents.

 

2. I resolve to use my car's highbeam only at night.

I resolve to maintain my good driving habits (like the 9 points above) for this coming new year.
