Every jobs or industries sure got problems they need to face.........

Personally, I feel that the so call problem that TD are facing is actually not a problem at all.........

Is avoidable and can be solved.........

It might not sound pleasant but idiotic drivers, TDs included, who refused to give way to other Tds. Best of all, those TDs that do not give way to others have pax inside. Not sure what kind of stupid mindset that is

Rbs70 SG

I don't know whether you are a TD.........

But I can tell you, when TD on the road, no brother 1.........

Blue will cut silver, red will cut yellow, yellow will chop green, green will fark white, white will jio black, black will cut blue..........the list will go on..........

Why like that?........

Be a TD than you will know.........

Bro Rbs, I myself am a part time TD. Have met some fellow bros here for 1 of the kopi sessions 3 weeks back

I’ve already given up hope on drivers here. On my part, I’ll just drive safe and give way whenever possible

And this are the car that was driven by those 没水准 drivers..........

Tcsaaa SG

that y driving is very stressful.. miss the time when nobody use tpe/ sle.. now bo liao..

oldlee SG

the real problem is

- no time to rest and

- cannot fall sick and

- LTA officers hidding behind pillars to penalize drivers

Poolman SG

I serious dun mind u signal long long long time ago to signal in ..... i will give way if my position allowed me .

If just side by side , without signalling , u wanna filter into my lane , sorry it is very rude , i dun give way .

Any taxis ....... even my own silver colour chute such stunts , also sorry .

Poolman SG

I hate when other drivers on the road wanna take short cut infront , without Q to get into a lane .

Eg Tuas West Drive ..... into AYE .

I hate it when others taking short cut of turning left lane into Tuas Checkpoint that road to filter into the lane meant to go into AYE ( ECP) directions .

U in a rush , i not in a rush ?

wrxs204 SG

That’s the reason why I respect the way Thais drive….give way most of the time. Will not honk unnecessarily. In China, though they honk a lot, but will still give way eventually

Poolman SG

In fact , in Malaysia , their vehicle dun road hog in their roads one ...... Sgp ? knnbccb phui

They looked like morons sometimes when we see them , but in general in Malaysia , JB eg , u signal they give way .

foolsh_2000 SG
