Good day everyone,
In today's post, we have researched and gathered evidence of the
inconsiderate RoadHOGGERS that are the reason
behind why there are more and more ERP Gantries and why ERP charges
are going higher. These inconsiderate
ROADHOGGERS could also be the cause of the deaths of some
unfortunate victims in ambulances which they have blocked on the
expressways. Who are these morons?
We have gathered evidence showing
some of the road hoggers contributing to the JAMS along Central
Expressway (CTE). They REFUSE TO KEEP LEFT but
instead HOG THE
RIGHT LANE and go slower than the trucks on
their left, causing the perennial jams along
the CTE because all the few hundred cars
behind them who wants to go faster
cannot because they are blocked by these ROAD
HOGGERS (If
you observe carefully, there are no cars in front of these ROAD
HOGGERS (hogging the extreme right lane) but a long queue of cars
BEHIND THEM. ie THEY ARE CAUSING THE JAM).
Watch these videos
of these ROAD HOGGERS causing the jam and even BLOCKING
AMBULANCES:
The Problem is exacerbated by the fact that Traffic Police do not seem to
be interested in booking these road hoggers: They seem to be
more interested in causing more jams by booking fast moving
vehicles rather than road hoggers. Ask around your friends: When
was the last time they were booked for road hogging?
They probably struck more 4D
lottery than been booked for road hogging. Ask around again who's been
booked for speeding: probably everyone except the road hoggers.
So, do you think the attitude of the traffic police has resulted in
a country of road hoggers: Who cares if I'm causing the jam,
Traffic Police are not going to book me anyway, but if I am
considerate and go faster so as to filter left to let traffic
behind me past, I'll get booked by Traffic Police for speeding. So,
is the Traffic Police actually contributing to this problem of road
hogging and traffic jams because of their system of booking people.
What's your take on this?
So what is the SOLUTIONS to
reducing the traffic jams? Traffic Police or Land
Transport Authority should BAN these inconsiderate ROAD HOGGERS from using
the extreme right lane or
First time Road Hogging offence: Fine $10,000
Second time Road Hogging
Offence: Fine
$100,000
Third time
Road
Hogging offence: Banned from Driving
on extreme right lane & Fine $200,000.
Okay, the above is a bit too harsh, as much as I would like it to
be implemented. But if the law was passed, you can be sure the
roads would definitely be more free flowing. Solutions after the
videos.
If you're wondering why
:
Singapore always kena TRAFFIC
JAMs? Why more and more
ERPs? Why ERP Charges More and
More EXPENSIVE?
CHECK OUT the CAUSE of it here:
(We noticed that
TAXIs form the BULK OF THE ROADHOGGING & something must be done
about it: In our future posts, we will show the motoring community
ALL THE TAXIs HOGGING the extreme right lane. One cannot see the cause of the jam while on the
road, but from these videos, one will understand why the CTE is
jammed and slow moving: because of these slow Road Hoggers
taking their Sunday Drive to the
right lane during peak hours)

SOLUTIONS TO EASE
THE TRAFFIC JAMS
What one should do is to ALWAYS KEEP LEFT, even though
you claim you are travelling at speed limit. In Singapore,
LIFE IS HECTIC and
there are always people rushing. Don't block their way by hogging the right
lane.
He may be rushing to take a loved one
to hospital, and there you are hogging the right lane, causing the
jam and no one can overtake because of you.
A
Life could be LOST BECAUSE OF YOUR INCONSIDERATE ROADHOGGING &
REFUSAL TO KEEP LEFT!
If you like to travel on the extreme right lane (Because its
faster, and you are the type of driver that don't like to change
lane or not confident enough to change lanes), PLEASE DO CHECK YOUR REAR VIEW
MIRROR AND FILTER LEFT WHEN YOU ARE BEING TAILGATED.
YOU ARE BEING
TAILGATED BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND WANTS TO GO FASTER BUT YOU ARE
BLOCKING THE RIGHT LANE (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE OVERTAKING LANE,
in case you haven't realised), and he cannot overtake on the left
because the left lanes are for slower moving vehicles. If you think he is speeding, then that's the job
of the Traffic Police, who is ALWAYS looking to book fast cars
& its not for you to stop him from speeding by
ROADHOGGING.
If you insist on hogging the extreme
right lane, you are risking the ire of the hundreds of motorists
that are caught in the JAM that is caused by YOU. And if you
happened to be flashed and horned by the tailgater and you insist
on hogging the right lane, there is a high possibility that the
whole bunch of drivers would just come out of their cars and give
you a free nose job, and you have no witnesses because everyone
behind you wants to rearrange your face.
Singapore is already a very stressful and expensive place, Don't
Create Road Rage and Don't risk being bashed up by insisting on
Road Hogging and Blocking everyone else on the Expressways.
And don't be the
cause of the HIGHER ERP charges.
Be Considerate, KEEP
LEFT.
