Can anything be done about this driver in the video:

most TDs are like that, everytime chut signal last minute and then expect others to jam brake and allow u to cut into lane, happy happy act like king on the road. last minute cut into ppl lane . why cannot cut behind? feel inferior because driving taxi? dun worry , i will record all traffic offences and submit accordingly to TP to take action haha

Ahem.... its very often the car drivers that encroach the lane markings and then signal. I understand they do this because they believe that if they signal early, they will be blocked from changing lanes.

I too always wonder why they can't change lane behind me, must speed up and cut drastically infront of me. I always maintain at least a 2-3 car length stopping distance in smooth flowing traffic. If they signal properly, I will widen the gap for them. But they think all drivers are like them.

GREAT JOB BRO! RECORD AND VIDEO AND SHOW IT TO COMFORT AND TRAFFIC POLICE AND MAKE SURE DEMERIT POINTS. PROBABLY THIS LOSER HAS ONLY LEFT 6 POINTS AND SUSPEND HIS LICENSE. THEN THE ROAD IS SAFE FROM ANOTHER SCUMBAG TAXI DRIVER!

Comfort ? Sent to Comfort for what ?

TransCab Wish leh ....

From his car language , he has that intention very earlier on , then he switched on the signal , then after a while switch it off , maybe when he glance back , behind too many cars to filter , and filther lane is coming up , has to made a quick decision .

1 word to describe sg drivers....... "SELFISH"

EP77 SG

or another word ----> inconsiderate?

Very simple solution. Just give way. Put yourself in the shoes of this taxi driver. If your car length is halfway in front of the car. would u speed up and overtake or slowdown and let him pass then filter?

If you slow down then filter, u would end up stopping at that lane and let numerous car to go before you can finally filter... If that happens... all those cars behind this taxi will say stupid why stop why cannot filter?

If he slow down and let this car move before filtering, What makes you so sure that the car behind this car will let him filter too? What if he speed up and close the gap and not let this taxi filter in?

Simply put, when driving in singapore, most gungho survives... if you wait, you'll wait forever.

Therefore road knowledge is important for both self and the other driver. You can know why the other driver is edgy if you know there is a turn ahead.

But on the signaling part. Sometime ago there was complaints that Singapore drivers do not signal, they just drive without signaling.

Things has improved slightly, they signal now, but signal for themselves.

Yes, signal for themselves.

They signal to cover themselves, when asked did they signal they can answer, looking innocently, "Yes". Signalling after you have begun changing lane, and only for three or four flashes is not signalling your intention. It serves no other purpose. But this is what I notice is the norm for car drivers nowadays.

Majority of TDs still signal their intention ahead. Those last minute signalling and turning is usually because of a slight emergency situation, that can understand.

The trend of Singapore drivers on signalling has developed into the chiong and then signal. Maybe drivers can trust one another and start to believe the other driver is not a rascal.

Beside this point, I notice there is now a slight improvement in giving way to others.

i still do not understand why Singapore drivers always accelerate when seeing signals on , and maintain when no signal lights .

Why? because when you give way to one, many follows and think you will give way to them, so end up you are far back and find yourself being a gong kia. That's how our sg driving culture works, in every country you go, they got their own unique way of driving, and like it or not, this is our culture, the kiasee and kiasu driving culture, die die must win even if need to step the fuel pedal to the base. And it is a blessing not much Foreigners are driving here, if they drive, we might face more problem, they will bring along their own way of driving, from the mess traffic of india to the wide highway chiong of china. And it is also a blessing that we hv more business if they dun drive.
