The honda is trying to filter in as his lane was blocked and the mitsubishi got a good view of him trying to filter in. Who is supposed to be more gracious? The merging should be done in alternate manner/zipper formation. Honda driver obviously is an s-hole who refused to form up properly for the merge. Lane blocked or not is secondary. Even without the barrier there, the two lanes would merge later anyway. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is the Honda forcing its way in like that without even signalling? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you can give the correct advise to your kids. I suppose you drive like the Honda too, not giving a damn about merging lane etiquette 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's slightly behind the Honda and the impact happened when he continued to move forward as his side was a slight bend towards the honda (can see his wheels turning out). I drive here regularly so I know vehicle from the right side may not have a good view of his left and only a very short and tight distance to keep left, just be gracious let the blocked lane come in and thing like this won't happen. Hahaha still trying to BS... those who use Woodlands Checkpoint often know EXACTLY that this part will merge into one lane. Don't give grandmother excuse like vision blocked all that crap pls 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, you see, now you use the word "merge", that means merging in an orderly manner. So is there any justification for the Civic to force its way in like that?

Ng Hong Siang 13 Dec 2023 08:32PM (Updated: 13 Dec 2023 08:49PM) SINGAPORE: An Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer at the Woodlands Checkpoint instructed the driver of a car departing Singapore to follow him, but the man accelerated his car instead, dragging the officer for several metres. The car nearly collided with a pedestrian and other nearby stationary vehicles, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and ICA said in a joint press release on Wednesday (Dec 13). The 38-year-old Singaporean man had undergone a fuel gauge check at the departure car zone when the ICA officer noticed that his fuel tank was below the stipulated level of at least three-quarters tank full. "The officer instructed the driver to hand over his passport, park the car, and follow him to the ICA Duty Office," said the authorities. The driver refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging the officer for several metres and causing him to suffer bodily pain. The officer was conveyed conscious to the hospital. The driver will be charged in court on Thursday. If found guilty of causing hurt by a rash act, he faces a jail term of up to a year, a fine which may extend to S$5,000 (US$3,700), or both.

"Motorists using the checkpoints need to drive safely and abide by traffic rules not just for their own safety but also the safety of our officers." The authorities warned that strict enforcement action will be taken against "blatant breach of such rules". Departing travellers driving Singapore-registered cars must comply with the “three-quarter tank” rule. Offenders may be issued a composition sum of up to S$500 or prosecuted in court. They will also be turned back at the checkpoints and not be allowed to proceed with their journey into Malaysia. Source: CNA/nh(rj) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
