Driving Etiquette

[iewoug]

Hey all,

Just want to share my frustrations here. Seems like driving isn't as fun as it seems..

Think I know why some ppl change lanes without signalling now..cos when u signal..some ppl will simply just speed up n close the gap..

really can't understand their mentality.. 

[Latiorarri]

Agreed ...  and the police keeps telling us.. "Speeding Kills... " I say bad road discpline kills more!

Maybe we can start listing down all the driving peeves and see how long it goes ... 

1) Changing lanes with out signalling.
2) Changing lanes immediately after signalling (expecting you the give way immediately)

Actually all these still ok. What i really cannot stand is, they will blast their horn at you when you cut their lane (wth proper signal and not sudden) and they tried to speed up to close the gap to prevent you from cutting into their lane but in vain.

i experience this quite often ..

1) Changing lanes with out signalling.
2) Changing lanes immediately after signalling (expecting you the give way immediately)
3) They will blast their horn at you when you cut their lane (wth proper signal and not sudden) and they tried to speed up to close the gap to prevent you from cutting into their lane but in vain.
4) Drive very close to you and expect you to give way to them (even when the front driver is driving at 90km/h liao)

very normal on MY and SG highway. So I always keep a distance from the front car, in situation 4) If possible, change to lane 2 and signal right, let the car over take and help me open the road. If not possible, ignore the rear mirror just drive as usual. That person is either too poor to own a helicopter or no brain to understand that other driver can't give way safely.

Going into the extreme right lane (even with proper signaling and safety distance) causing the driver behind to take evasive action such as jam brake or brake harder than usual.

agree right lane is fast/overtaking lane, but driver who can't see/realize there is hold up infront and choose to speed close to the car infront and jam brake is up to him/her. IMO, driver should watch infront (not just the speedo) when driving. If you always need to jam brake then smt wrong with your driving style liao. The so call evasive action is short sighted action only.

I also look at rear view mirror and siam to other lane when possible to avoid being hit. that's my evasive action liao, will not give way (which I deem not possible at that time) to any short sighted driver. Bang my back side I bang his/her insurance backside lor.

Especially so for taxis.

Just yesterday, I had this Sonata trying to speed up to block me when I signalled to filter out.

Heck care and whack my horn at him and he slowed down...haha...my wife says she never see people horn at cars behind
