I wished there could be a campaign of the above mentioned line.
Pardon me, those who are sensitive about the issue of speeding, but
the crux here is road hogging, which I think is more hazardous than
speeding itself.
After a NS highway driving trip, I come back refreshed by the
driving etiquettes shown by most of the locals. Even on the 2-lane
road, they'll promptly go left to give way when they sense faster
cars approaching them from behind. I was pacing my uncle friend and
he's quite experienced and fast so we were mostly on the right to
overtake, and I was quite moved by such road courtesy shown.
I'm certainly not here to boast about speeding or what. On the
contrary, when the left lane was vacant, my uncle friend would keep
left, with me following, even though we were considered 'fast'.
This was especially when he noticed that some even faster car was
pressurising me behind already.
Let's face it, we do always wish we have the liberty to drive
faster than what we're currently doing. I do think this is possible
without the compromise of safety, if we increase our distance to
keep, proportional with the increment of speed, coupled with
everyone possessing the common sense to not road hog. Going back to
the basics, this means Keep Left Unless Overtaking. Even if one is
already speeding, as long as someone is coming in from behind, he
should give way. This is essentially What The Overtaking Lane Is
For.
Back in Sg, where there are so many lanes as compared to NS
highway, I wonder why some drivers can continue to be so
self-centred or ignorant to road hog on the right. Fine, if the 2nd
lane (from the right) is still occupied with slower vehicles that
he wants to continue overtake. I can understand, if I'm the one
behind him.
However in many instances, even when the lanes are clear, many can
still arrogantly possess the right lane, as though speeding at
100kmh means he's king. Sighz.
There's always someone faster, So
Pls Give Way
