Well...today i was having my driving lessons at ubi outside...anyway i was driving pretty slowly...about 30+ to 40 km/h...then there was this citroen C5 behind me....anyway when i looked at the rear view mirror...he flashed his lights at me. I was like 'wtf!!...'

Well, when i was learner, i gotten into such a situation too. There's this TIONG honda following really close with a female passenger and he tailed gated me so closely that i gotten really nervous. My instructor was really good ah... told me leg off the acclerator paddle and he tab the break abit and jam break till the engine stall !!! The fella at the back has no choice but to jam break too. When i was over taken, my instructor pointed the finger at him Shocked Shocked and took down his license plate Very Happy

Some of these so called "qualified" drivers simply forget that they too were learners too...

Thumbs down to these impatient fellas/drivers...

ah_ham SG

Sometimes, flashing the high beam or horning is not necessary mean an unfriendly gesture.
I will horn at fellow drivers when they forget to on their highlights.
As there is no other way of getting the person' attention other then sounding the horn.

Bravo!!! Mine tell me to do similar things too. But that time I was a little blur, didn't know things about tailgating. My instructor just suddenly tell me to tab my brake, I was like Shocked ???

Maybe got their license oversea?

I think high beam is better than horn. During the first 2 week of my car ownership, I saw 1 taxi high beam me when he is waiting to turn right. I was lost then, only later I realise from my brother than I was only putting on parking light all the time. And once someone tap his brake in front of me in an expressway, my light was on high beam. Finally found out about the blue light symbol means.

carmour SG

Can't realli blame drivers for being high-beaming "L" plates. If you live in areas where there are Driving centres nearby, then you may understand why drivers are sometimes fustrated by them.

If there's a whole line of "L"s trying to U-turn or right turn, then happy waiting... 1 freaking right turn can take you 10mins.

TehJarVu SG

maybe he flash light give you face liaos, he din use the horn wor.

wbucket SG

bismarck SG

LH83 SG

I used high beam only when I couldn’t really see what was in front of me… or to warn cars that are turning that I’m going straight… esp at junctions with those boxes…. Very scary to see the car keep moving eventhough he know’s you’re going straight…

houndy SG

????? anyone who bullys L plate drivers are morons i suppose... Rolling Eyes

bismarck SG

who cares whether u prefer to be horned at or flashed, it;s the other drivers that decide. Laughing

LH83 SG

Hehe... what about L plates who bully other L plates? hee... I used to get pissed at other L plates who were driving so slowly, and I had to follow behind, although I was also an L plate... ended up overtaking them every chance I got... hee... Imagine the L plate seeing another L plater zooming past in front of him... hee... Mr. Green

Praetorian111 SG

You have every right to over take those slow moving ones as they mostly are those who just started the first few on road training..

kentheman SG
