Driving against traffic incidents! How to avoid?

[Evillusion]

Recently looked at a replacement car with nice conditions, colour, pricing etc. Almost immediately zoom down to sign on the dotted line...then asked for the plate number...

 

I didn't make the trip - indeed a SLJ.

 

Not in my book to pay LTA 1.3k for my own number retention either.

sakali you get SLJ 101 *.......that will be epic!

I ever saw one uncle in a Daihatsu Extol van drove down MSCP ramp, made sharp U turn and continue drove down the ramp beside which was meant for upward direction just bcos he wanted to take shortcut. I was amazed by the small turning radius of the van.

mayne he has 1 min left on the free parking grace period?

There is this way to get on the PIE at paya le bar. It involves going against traffic (regulated by traffic lights of course) to get onto the west bound PIE from the east bound PIE. A bit scary if someone decides to chiong the lights....

 

The transport command hq korner dere.

 

Ya. Sidetrack a it. Got to park next to a drop head phantom, shiok man. S only some more. Whoo hoo.

This type really is shooting own foot! 

As much as possible, we should always try to give way to Emergency vehicle. 

 

 

Emergency vehicles... every second counts ....

Folks! Starting a new thread here and it warrants one as more idiots driving against traffic flow

 

Fire away

pew pew pew . . 

The question is "How to avoid when you encounter one driving against traffic flow"? 

 

Do we high beam like crawzy hoping he won't drive into you? 

[Vratenza]

No say I no sarpork your thread.....

 

 

The solution is to change our road system to Left Hand Drive.... Just like US of A, Taiwan....

I would think GPS is part of the problem. Following blindly.

And the road signs of late are getting worse.

More than once I got a carpark lot that I eyed on entry to the carpark being unceremoniously taken when i followed the lane direction marking strictly.

 

How I know that it was a queue cutter who went against the traffic to snap up the lot? Some carpark design (eg parkway parade) is such that when you enter the level, you the first few lanes are all towards you and they are long and straight. The design of the carpark lets you look down the whole stretch and have green light markets on top to designate an empty lot. You are forced to go one big round to reach the lot you spooted. Usually after spotted a lot, while driving pass the aisles, i will look out for any cars already "in the queue" before me... Usually when I see that I am the first one in the queue for that level, I will make an attempt to get to the lot I spotted earlier... Half the time i get people driving in opposite direction to cut the "queue"

 

And usually from my encounters, they are female drivers whom usually act blur, parked the car and walk away. . Avoiding my death stare... Or they thought I was staring at them because they are chio?

GPS is not living object.

 

Human is living object.

Let's see how many more IMG_0409.JPG

The common thing among them is they are all safe drivers as they kept to their left lanes.

The sudden surge? Is this something recent or have been happening for awhile but just drivers become more aware because of recent fatal accident.

 

Could it be due to our road design, signs not placed well, lighting of our roads, some roads like ECP on particular time of the day - sun shines directly at you as you drive?

 

 

 

I realised that not millions but billions of dollars spent on manpower, paper resources, laser equipment (including upgrade needed from time to time) and etc, on catching speeding drivers.

 

Singapore roads have maximum speed limits unlike Germany. Most cars got speed-limiters especially those high powered car. What if all import cars are electronically fitted with speed limiters. Overnight no more speeding issues (speeding often occurs in major roads and not small lanes).

 

Singapore has never been bash about introducing harsh measures to solve a problem (using a hammer to crack a peanut) eg chewing gum, alcohol consumption in little india. So perhaps this may be an answer which eliminates all associated expenses and dangers involving speeding.

Do you and you guys that praise enjoy the driving condition in KPE and MCE? If yes then this works if not it is just an idealist thought.

If you have clowns that decide to drive against traffic inside KPE/MCE, you will get a massive accident. Imagine kenna trapped in the tunnel with burning cars - like what was depicted in Hollywood movies.
