[b]White Volvo says sorry to orange March
Hi everyone
I was unkind to a Nissan March last Thursday and it has been
bothering me ever since. I did something that I wasnt proud of, so
the least I could do is find out where the Nissan March drivers
hang out and hopefully find the driver and make an apology.
What happened? Thurs 8 Dec, 6.30pm, yellow box junction of
Balestier Road and Jln Datoh. I was on Balestier Road going
straight towards Whampoa. The orange March driven by a young lady
with short hair was trying to turn left from Jln Datoh to Balestier
Road. She was at the yellow box, 45 degrees on first lane and
turning to 2nd lane. I was going straight on 2nd lane approaching
yellow box. Although I had right of way as I was going straight on
main road, I was driving at low speed and I could easily have
stopped for her to turn into 2nd lane. It was also the safer thing
to do since any collision would be from my front into her drivers
side. Instead, I tapped my horn twice, she stopped her car and I
went straight. She turned after I passed. I glanced at my rear view
mirror and saw what I thought could be a P plate. I couldnt tell
the number of the car.
Ive thought about it over the weekend and I felt really bad. If
there is any mitigating factor, I was running late for my evening
class, but thats really no excuse for bad driving behavior. Worst,
I was a bad example to a P-plate driver.
In the remote chance that you folks here know the driver or know
the incident I've related, do let the driver know that:
White Volvo S40T4 says sorry to you. My driving behavior was
unbecoming and I was unkind. I should have stopped and given way to
you, rather than using my horns and insisting on my right of way.
This is not how I normally drive, Im not proud of what I have done
and Im truly sorry. Please accept my apology.

Ive posted this at MARCH1Z folder at sgforums and Nissan Club at
Delphi. Have I missed any other popular hangouts? If I have, let me
know and thanks in advance.
Regards,

hi Whitet4,
nice of you to drop by this forum. even nicer of you to have a
struggling conscience as a road user. indeed many of us drivers are
guilty of bad driving one time or another, but most dont feel a
damn thing or being apologetic about it. you are our role
model!
there are a couple of orange lady marchies among us, wouldnt know
who would it be until we meet up sometime later. will convey your
post to her if we find out, maybe she wanted to apologise
instead?!
do continue to hang around here, sure would be happy to share with
you your intetests and experiences.
