To maintain Law & Order is my duty

Today's a rainy day ya...
I was along AYE.
As I was abt to exit thru Lower Delta, my worst nightmare happen~!
There were two lanes altogether.
I was on the left lane, in front of me wasn't any vehicle... Laughing
30 degrees to my right-front are 2 trailer's truck, one front of the other & abt 5m away from me.
Shocked Suddenly one of the truck, the one nearer to me, without any singal, make a sharp left turn, in fact is lane change lah...
Shocked Shocked Shocked That moment, I got the BIGGEST shock in my life~! Shocked Shocked Shocked
I've got no choice but to jam break, mainly my rear break or else sure gone case...
My rear wheel got locked and it ski... Crying or Very sad
My whole bike wobble and no matter how tight I hold on to it, it's hopeless...
The worst part is that the distance is getiing so close that I got to keep to the left, with my bike still wobbling~! Evil or Very Mad
The trouble continues when my rear wheel start to swing to the front...
I then release my rear break, luckily my bike start to straighten up and the wobbling stop~! Rolling Eyes
But the distance again closer up, mush faster now~!
I was less then a metre away from the trailer's rear wheels~!
I tell myself then that this time jialak liao~!
But I never give up, I step on my breaks again...
Just as I was abt to go 'underneath" the trailer's wheels, I make a fast swift to my left, abt 30cm more before I hit the kerb.
When my bike finally stop, I was just beside the trailer's rear wheels.

Sad Sad Sad My balls really drop there & then~! Sad Sad
I think it's still there on AYE~!
I then quickly kick back to gear 1, when a taxi came from behind me and stop beside me.
The cab driver ask if i'm alright~?
He had saw the whole thing, he was somehow more pissed off than me...

Just wanna tell you guys to be careful on the road, especially if you're riding~! It might not be your fault, but due to other people's mistake, you might need to pay the price... As for Drivers, please do spare a thought for others, and not forgetting your safety... Wink

hee hee, i kena something like this before, i think more than 6 yrs back along pasir panjang rd (towards WTC direction). but i was driving, not riding.

stupid trailer truck also. i was in the right-most lane and this truck was on the middle lane, slightly ahead of me at my 11 o'clock position.

we were approaching a traffic light junction, and from very far, i can see the traffic lights juz turned green from red, so by right it wont turn yellow so soon, so i juz maintained my speed while approaching the traffic light junction.

tmd, then suddenly the trailer truck at my 11 o'clock position juz suddenly cut into my lane, and then signal right almost at the same time. i where got time to react? where got ppl make his turn then signal one? shud ppl signal first then make the turn?

furthermore, i was driving my uncle's corona cd wif no ABS one. i got no chance to sound the horn but to slam hard on the brakes and the tyres screeched like hell, i can even feel the car skidded a little into clockwise direction before it came to a complete stop.

half-a-second after i made the complete stop, i heard a loud thud at the back, i turned around and saw someone wif a motorcycle helmet on my car boot. i was stunned for a few seconds before i know what happened.

i got out of the car and went straight to the back, checking on the motorcyclist. to my surprise, he was unhurt. he could get down from my car boot and started cursing and swearing in bahasa malayu. his bike (dunno which model, can only tell it's a 125cc bike) was laying on its side, a couple of metres behind him.

i apologised profusely and asked him if he's ok. he said ok ok, and also said it was not my fault. he was riding behind me and saw the trailer truck making that crazy turn. we turned back, and saw the turck has already made its turn into one of the PSA gates. the malay motorcyclist removed his helmet and made lots of vulgar gestures towards the trailer truck and swear at the same time, in a mixture of hokkien and bahasa.

we wanted to take down the licence plate number, but it was too late. the truck has disappeared into the PSA ports.

as 4 me, tink drive a car better lah ! 4 wheels better than 2.
Motorcyclists is only "buang" see how the impact is. as 4 drivers, either ur car overturn & got stuck inside or got crash like a piece of waste metal ! Smile

last nite when i was senting my gf home across the bedok north flyover also, i was on the extreme right lane, a car was on the left, slightly infront of me, and a van infront of that car...the stupid p-plate driver want to overtake the van and change lane into my lane without checking blindspot. i use my airhorn once, she still continue to come my direction, i was just beside the car. than i horn 3 more times, this time she move back behind the van...i see the gap, and faster zoom off, almost hit the kerb at the side. than when i pass the flyover, i slow down and wait for her, she more slow behind, knowing i waiting for her..finally when she catch up, i saw a fcuking nerdy ger with her family, mother and younger brother...donno how she pass one...hell i p-plate is more of a safe rider than her.

not tat i hate ger driver..just another example
