I am putting my story up for fellow forums members here just in
case you encounter a simliar driver like what i did today.
I was driving on PIE towards CTE. As there as road works on the
3rd lane, cars have to filter to the 2nd or the 4th lane. I was on
driving on the 3rd and was filtering to the 4th when a lorry with
the number for GZ2848M sped from the 5th to the 4th lane, cutting
abrupting in to my lane. I have to apply my e-brakes or risk
hitting to him. I gave the lorry a horn before moving on.
What is going to happen next is almost unimaginable. As I move
on further to CTE, i can see the lorry in front on me. Out of
nowhere, the lorry just jammed brake AGAIN, and I need to brake my
vehicle to prevent a collision. Thank goodness another vehicle
behind me managed to brake in time to prevent a tragedy from
happening. This childish and reckless act occurs another time @ the
merging lanes moving towards CTE.
Wanting to avoid further trouble with the lorry, i decided
to slow down and not keep up following the lorry.
I have made a police report on this incident. I
know probably no action could be taken. Nevertheless, wanted
to put my story here so that forumers can be careful of the above
side driver
70% of lorrys on the road will speed. just stay away from them
and give way. in a collision, car drivers will always be the ones
on the losing end.
what irks me most is pick ups and vans on lane 2 and 1 who tail
gate even in heavy traffic. imho those are the trouble makers in
god knows what kind of hurry.
true, sounding horn can be very distracting to innocent car
drivers but sometimes taxi drivers and certain road racer wannabes
are just asking for it. if they cause me a near accident, i won't
hesitate to give a long and loud one until they scram out of
sight.
