Notice there are many Taxi drivers here thu driving is your rice
bowl but carry inmature driving behavious. I stand on the line, but
would like you to read this, please bear in mind that speed
(speeding or not) of vehicle does not apply in this Rule
>>>>>>
Road hogging is proscribed under Rule 5 of the Road
Traffic Rules, which states that (a) every vehicle which is moving
at a slow rate of speed shall be driven as close to the left-hand
side of the roadway as possible, and (b) every vehicle shall at all
times be driven in such manner as not to obstruct vehicles moving
at a faster speed. Breach of that Rule is an offence under
Section 131 of the Road Traffic Act, which attracts a maximum
penalty of a $1,000 fine or 3 months’ imprisonment for the first
offence, and a $2,000 fine or 6 months’ imprisonment for a second
or subsequent offence. Where a person is convicted of the
offence, four demerit points will also be awarded under the Driver
Improvement Points System.
I think it is not fair to display the road hogging rule and not
show the speeding rule.
If vehicles are not allow to exceed the speed limit, then how
can you overtake a vehicle travelling at the speed limit?
You are going personal by saying that Taxi drivers are
immatured, hope you will refrain from those comments.
But you are extremely immatured and ignorant by bringing a point
out of context. (I shouldn't be saying this, but need to prove a
point)
By the way, I do not advocate blocking a tailgater, or having
road-hogging behaviours because the other party may have
his own reason for travelling above the speed limit. See my other
earlier comments.
