You think cars on lane 2 at 80km/hr is bad, and considered as road hogging? Wait till you check these out.

Everytime when I drive on the Expressway, I felt like giving those slow drivers driving at 70km/h - 80 km/h in the middle lane a kick in the butt. Especially during peak hours, they are hogging the road although they are not driving at the extreme right lane. Although you can overtake them on the right, the bottleneck effect as a result causes traffic to build up behind them.

So please be considerate hoh. If for any reasons you don't have the confidence to drive at 90 km/h, please drive on the extreme left with the rest of the lorries, trucks, etc. Then we will have a smoother flow on the Expressway and we won't end up having ERP everywhere...

Personally, I feel that doing 80 on the middle lane is okay... It's not really that slow wat... and if you want to do 90 and above, go to the right lane where everyone else is doing that... you wont be slowed down by them... the left lane is for lorries and buses who are going at around 70....

How can you consider cars going at 80 as road hoggers when the speed limit on major expressways is only 90? Furthermore, they are not even on the right lane...

Not being impatient lah... if you have to be on the road frequently and during peak hours, you know know what I mean by the bottleneck effect. When the lanes are crowded...some people have the mentality that if I'm not on the rightmost lane, I can drive at the speed I'm comfortable with, if you want to go faster, then overtake me on the right loh..even when there is no lorry/truck on the leftmost lane, they will happily cruise along the middle lane....

Next time you come across such a driver, take a look at your rearview mirror, and you know why it just take one slow moving vehicle even in the middle lane to cause a bottleneck...whereas in front of him/her, the roads are clear..

The situation is make even worse by drivers that hog the rightmost lane....

Just my observations... when I started driving and not confident at going at 90 kmh, I'll keep to the leftmost lane unless overtaking slow moving truck/lorries...

i think nowadays got more and more vans and class 3 lorries like to be on the middle lanes which are travelling like slightly faster than those bigger vehicles. i think they should just slow down and follow the bigger vehicles on the extreme left loh.

but then again, we're living in a fast moving country where everyone is rushing for time. heck it!

paperx SG

since u are SO confident of driving at 90KM/H... Y care those driving 80 at middle lane? YOU can ALWAYS OVERTAKE them on the RIGHT lane.. no skill to do it? Laughing

tomsss SG

ok lah, its me lah... i'm sorry, okay? Embarassed Mr. Green

kelviz SG

Ya lor what e heck. If you wan to drive fast do it but dun go and tailgate people. . . . Rolling Eyes it's people like you so impatient that cause drivers to get into accidents. Always bully stock slow cars like mine. . . . . .1000cc only

KLZW SG

but there’s a prob.. there’re also ppl who travel at 80km/h in the right most lane.. how to overtake?

HANDSOME_1 SG

actually, it'll be better if the authorities give a guideline on the spd to use at diff lanes. i also feel tt some pple are just like hogging the rds. this is my impression aft looking through the highway code.

Left lane: 50-80km/h
Middle lane: 80-89km/h
Right lane: 90km/h (of cos nd some lee-way in case of emergency situations la.)

paperx SG

If u have the skillls of taxi uncles... just sway in and out of the lanes to overtake..
taxi uncles skill are superb Twisted Evil

(even thou they often cause road hazards.. i still tink they are skillful) Laughing

Tayysj SG

hmm when i get realli pissed at the road hoggers, i overtake them at an available opportunity and go in front of them then brake slowly until like 30km/h, forcing them to slow to a crawl before picking up speed and driving off.

its sorta giving them a taste of their own medicine. but i onli do that to those who hog the right most lane.

kopiosatu SG

speed limit 90
so if the guy on the middle lane travels at 80-90 and u overtake him... you're speeding? Laughing

people cruising on the middle lane at 80 is alright.

people cruising on the overtaking lane at that speed... i cannot understand why.

SexyChin SG

You want people to drive 80kmph at the left most lane?

What a joke. Look at all those vans and lorries travelling at only 60kmph or even less at the left most lane. I even saw many oil/chemical tankers hogging the middle lane on the AYE.

Come on, just tolerate those slower drivers. Just overtake them if you feel that they are just too slow. Anyway, the road does not belong to your grandpa. Wink
