oh i hate drivers who dont signal their intentions when changing lanes.. really irritating when you’re keeping to your lane and someone just cuts without signalling.. i notice this especially with cab drivers

bye

Tomas_Rosicko SG

not only that, cab drivers keep getting into accidents, i dunno why, maybe it's because they like to masturbate when driving, or they like to talk to passengers when driving and forgot to signal, may the chickens fart into their big mouth, i have been eyeing these cabbies for a long time

AF1 SG

don’t wanna generalise but some cab drivers just damn kiasu won’t let you cut into their lane.. i once experienced this cab driver purposely sped up altho quite far just to prevent me from cutting and tailgated me quite closely for some time

You mean that you don't know that most local motorists don't signal???

Hey woah, hope you are well awake now!

Personally, even when they DO signal, I don't trust them anymore. Oftentimes, the signal left as they're approaching, then suddenly just proceeds straight!

Taxis: when you're behind one, DON'T let your guard down. They make unpredictable moves. Never or avoid driving behind a Taxi.

At carparks, when there is someone in front of you, and both of you are looking for a space, don't follow too closely. He/she can just stop and begin to reverse into a lot. Normal practice is to tuyrn on hazard lights (both sides blinking) when you spot a space to park so that people behind you, will know.

This bad habit of not signalling amongst motorists here, stems from selfishness, and pure lack of consideration of others. I don't see any improvments the Courtesy Campagne has achieved our society.

a point on Taxis… they just stop their vehicle abruptly as soon as they see someone flagging down…though some do put on the hazard lights…but the speed in which they do both is almost instantaneous…so dangerous..so be very alert if u’r behind a taxi…u never know what they are gonna do next..

Wait till u see those jokers who signal one direction and filter the other. Laughing

I have my fair share of encounters which such monkeys!! Razz

last time when i was in my friend's car and ask him why he always no signal

den he told me..if car's signal only got say 500 times lifespan..every little thing also signal..sure die very soon..i was like 'duhz'

when driving..i only give way to people who signal..

i hate it when people wan to overtake u..they dun signal..n they purposely drive very close to u..den u duno wad he/she wan and u haf to slow down for him or her

i especially hate people who want to turn left at a cross junction but don’t signal. Then if i’m on the opp side want to turn right or u turn, I gotta wait until this idiot make a left turn, then I know he is not going straight. Bloddy waste my time waiting.

Like I've said; there is NO common courtesy in Singapore.

The lack of manners is very onvious on our roads! And it's embarrassing when you have foreign passengers with you, who asks; "do you all drive like that here?"

What I say: "Yes, some are polite some are not."

hisoka SG

that one i close the gap dun let them until they signal Laughing

Changing of signal bulb cost a “bomb”!!!!!

i guess too many traffic lights and juncions can make a driver signal 100+ times a day.. and, seeing the public and other motorists so unappreciative of their effort in signalling, ppl just heck about signalling next time..

Singapore drivers are too stressful on the roads with cabbies on hot pursuits, motorbikes on a highway race, thousands of RED lights junctions, traffic jams, Zebra Crossings,cyclists who cycle wrong traffic, heavy road offences summons,"sneaks" traffic police with their stupid cameras and mad woman dashing out to the centre of the road to pick up a 1 cent coin or flag down a bus on the opp side, well, its a challenge on singapore roads.

I was cycling yesterday on the pesdestrian walkway when i came to a junction. A driver driving his car towards me flashed his left directions indicator and so, thinking that he wants to turn i stopped for him.

But he drove off without turning.....

Mad

this caused an accident between my mum's car and a corolla behind us.

anyway this morning this black hyundai matrix lagi best. heavy traffic mah..then when the car in front of us moved 1 car length and my dad was starting to move ahead. this HM from the left lane just shot into the space in front of us. 2 inches to collision.

at jelita turning into 6th avenue that slip road or something?
that time my dad was on the left lane waiting to turn into 6th ave, then this car shot right in front of us and so my dad revenge... purposely tailgate him all the way till we went down the slope. even when waiting for predestrians to clear, my dad deliberately drove damn close to scare him.

think i cannot take driving licence liao. because when i encounter such a situation, i will sound my horn at that driver until he pengz Twisted Evil

I think all of us have had our fair share of encounters with irresponsible motorists who do not signal early or worse of all, not signalling at all.

However, i think this problem is rather serious with our taxi drivers.
Could we suggest to the relevant authorities to do something about it?
I read recently in the papers that they are going to introduce this driving refresher course for taxi drivers but i don't think it is compulsory at the moment and it is only meant for those old taxi drivers. Maybe, they could extend this to all taxi drivers?

Not only are they endangering their passengers' lives, they are fast becoming the most unpredictable road hazard to all other road users!

I have nothing against taxi drivers but i really believe preventive measures need to be taken now rather than later for the safety of all road users.

dun keep saying taxi drivers lah one reason why we see so many taxi driver do this types of things is because of the time they on the road. for example if there is only 1 taxi driver with this type of habit, but he drive for 8 hours a day. in these 8 hours he does it 50 times( i think its actually a reasonable number maybe even on the low side?) and is seen each time by 5 pple so in the end these 250 pple see this type of things and when they collate(obviously they cant and wont remember the number so that they will be able to match to see if its the same guy) they will say that taxi drivers always do this type of things lor.
