I think the best method is to let them learn in the driving centre for a compulsory 10 hours to understand how vulnerable motorcyclist are on the road. I don...

When situations happen, these "Drivers" can either be alert, then anticipate, slow down, be patient, let the other driver(s) finish doing whatever they intend to do, ie turning, parking, overtaking etc, because no one really wants to linger on the road, everyone just needs it to get away to somewhere else

or they can horn, flash, shout, shake fist, show colour because they decided Why should I be patient??

I am KING of the Road!

Me rider also so when i drive, i drive frm rider's point

of view i find that most ppl who ride bike also drive

cars veri. Well thats frm my own point of view. Should be like

in Italy u r required to get a bike license bfore u can go for a

car license then everyone will get to learn gd habits frm riding

a bike 1st cause u really need to look out for everyone on the

roads n in time when u drive u knoe to look out for other vehicles also.

As you drive you can notice what the driver in the next lane want to change lane infront of you. You can horn to warn him not to.

At junction, when the green arrow appears, and the front vehicle no movement after 0.5 secs. you horn.

You approach a black and white pedestrian crossing, and there is this cyclist racing to the crossing with you, you can also horn.

But you don't horn at 10 tonne trucks, their horn bigger than yours.

kopiosatu SG

i use a horn as a warning

some farkers just feel so offended that they didn't check blindspot and they should bang into me

For last 2 points, try to be patient a little. if u drive so hiong, sure kena accident or fight one. one accident don't need to ferry pax anymore..

usually if pple queue up i will just let them filter, but knn wanna cut queue confirm i wun let u

Just for that few second of impatient and you get into accident not worth it. Worst if you depend on driving for a living and have yr license suspend.. Haha.. Good luck!

I just use yesterday to illustrate why I horn people.

Alexandra Road to AYE towards Tuas.

After Horts Garden...Civic signal from centre lane and immediately filter into my left-most lane...I was in the centre of my lane and like what kopisatu mentioned...I not entitled to my own lane ar? so 2 short horns as warning and the car still come into my lane...1 longer horn...2 seconds?...driver still look at me somemore.

Jurong West Street 51 towards Yuan Ching Road,junction near Lakeside MRT.

I going straight....1 van turning into Boon Lay way towards Jurong East...those people familiar with the junction will know that those cars turning will not have a very unobstructed view of oncoming traffic...so in these kind of cases what to do?Either U wait or U SLOWLY turn out....I know the junction quite a lot of accidents so I changed to left-most lane and slowed down before the traffic lights and this van turned out quite fast so I did 1 short horn and then 1 long horn all the way until I cleared the junction.Was also pressing on my brakes more while the horn was working...if I never horn or changed lane to make myself more visible to the turning vehicle...I wouldnt be posting this post now.

so U see lor...I rather horn than to langgar other vehicles....but then the thing is...some people rather ignore the horn...
