Give way or not???

sinicker SG

justttttt half hour ago, one taxi was beside me... the traffic light changed to red. it was a pedestrian crossing only.

this taxi stopped after the stop line, shocked a few pedestrians on the road. i horn him! and look at him see whether he sleepy or what.

then when the lights turn green, we drove on and he was like 10cm beside me.... wtf. he not happy eh.

i wld give way to veh signalling to come into my lane, unless m:
1) too close up
2) speed too much faster than his or hers
3) its an understood slow driver, eg. ah laos in their 60s
4) heavy veh like bus or crane mover, etc

its an ‘sickness’ habit for me to signal wen switchin lanes but wen doing so, i always give adequate adv notice.

Therefore m seriously pissed off wen aft i signal + give enough ‘advance’ notice + cut in liao, the bloody car(s) >20feets behind can honk or beam at me! obviously they r drivin slow initially bt started to accelerate suddenly cos unhapi to allow a van come in front of em.

i met few of such & they managed to ‘acquire’ some rd courtesy aft that…one auntie got tailgated & air-horned by me all d way on pie for few kms @ 110 while d other screwed-up-ah-lao kept a 4 car-length distant behind me when i slowed & turned back pt finger at him to come nearer. there was one Beng on an old galant whom i wound down my window & showed him the gesture ‘why horn? see no signal?’ He shrinked & kept 2 containers’ length away fm me tho me not threatening la…

i do however feel particularly hapi wen d veh whom i gave way to put up their hand to ‘thank you’, tho its ok i rec’d nothing 99% of d time!

which’s why sometimes wen @ 80+, wen d veh behind me gave way to me switchin into em, me always wave ‘thank you’ to em too…becos appreciated car allows van in + its then again a ‘sickness’ habit la Smile

i think the driving in singapore is rather timid. Once the front corner of the car has entered into either lane, by all means drive out but of cos dun be a dumb ass and cut out when the other guy driving at full speed. I ever saw a car drive out of the filter with an oncoming car just a split second away. The accident was averted with some quick reflexes from the oncoming car. So guess which driver was the guy and which was the lady? haha.

Different countries have different driving cultures. Horning here can be considered quite rude but in other countries, it can be "pls look out, I'm here".

Ha ha ha, happens only in Singapore, vehicle on the expressway slow down because of vehicle filtering into the expressway.

Must remember this , the behind cars always disadvantage in terms of accident .

Just make sure u are in control while filtering .... must be gutsy when filtering .

Usually those unable to filter one is those less gutsy type .
