is it right to overtake?

yuko-ogura SG

im driving a slow-moving 3 tonner(military truck) on the road.

suddenly,the vehicle in front of me stops by the side of the road.

if...

1)this vehicle were a bus which has gone into the bus bay to allow passengers to alight and board,

2)this vehicle was a taxi to board passengers by the side of the road,

should i overtake or wait behind it?

pls help..

If bus then give way, if taxi then horn and overtake.

Tayysj SG

if its a 3 lane road – overtake if the road is clear. if its a two lane road or one lane road – pls dont. pls wait.

hw come bus give wae but taxi dun?

taxi much fast moving than bus,isn't it?

yuko-ogura SG

u mean i should wait for both the bus and taxi on a two lane or one lane road?

y cannot lane change for the case of two lane road?

I know SAF is quite strict in enforcing traffic rules, and since you say you drive a 3 tonner, then it pays to wait for a while. Better wait behind, than to do a dangerous overtaking stunt. You might have just signed your way to DB!

But having said that, if the car stops completely, and driver has no intention of moving his car at all for prolonged periods, then it make sense to overtake!

Just wait, oftenly even by the time you manage to turn, the bus or cab has left the spot

You drive 3 tonner, then wait lor, how fast you want to go also max out at 50km/h Laughing Makes no difference whether you overtake or not. Just about who gets to the traffic lights first.

tailslide SG

overtaking is a calculated move and the risks involved are greater 4 larger vehicles. make sure u are familiar with the road conditions around u and juz wait in line if u are doubtful.

theres no rite or wrong in overtaking in either of these scenarios. juz make sure the lane u are using to overtake is clear of traffic b4 u do so.
