Bloop... SG (I saw this on another forum... though it was interesting). The speed limit is 90km/h. You are travelling at 110km/h in lane 1. A faster vehicle comes up behind and you can filter left safely. Do you: (a) Give way - pull left, then pull right again behind the faster vehicle (it's on overtaking lane!!!). (b) Stay in lane 1 (I'm already doing 110 what!?!?!?). (c) Jam brakes (bast*rd! ) (d) Panic and crash ( ) Bloop... ps: (I added the last 2 myself.. please ignore them).
kopiosatu SG move out of the way, because if lane two is available. besides, 1st lane is meant for overtaking, not cruising.
kops21 SG Officially Lane 1 is for Emergency vehicle. Even if you overtake someone by filtering to Lane 1, you should filter back to Lane 2 at the least. Unfortunately most of us don't do it. TP can booked u for staying at Lane 1 if there isn't any car on Lane 2. Stomach pain rushing to the brushes 1 km away to pai sai is not a valid reason to stay on Lane 1. Why i said this? Just went to a Defensive Driving Course by SSDC.
kopiosatu SG i've only gone for defensive riding... defensive driving i went for the SAF one. take a landrover and skid.
kopiosatu SG by right riders are not supposed to ride in between lanes. but if there is a traffic jam and the vehicles are stationary or almost stationary, the rider can squeeze in between them.
FX1 SG It depends. If the car is coming at me gradually then I move over. If its coming really fast at me, its probably safer to maintain my lane and let him cut me on the left. You can imagine what will happen if he is too fast and he cut into lane 2 and u decide to give way at the same time.
kops21 SG Bikers should not squeeze between cars, they should know this when took their highway code.... they deserve to get booked. I have one colleague (ah Moh), that will ride like a car, he dont squeeze to the front during traffic lights and take a full lane while riding on the road. That should be the right way to ride a bike...and it takes some foreigner to lead the way...shame on us.... Taking of this, some drivers also very bad to force the bike to the side road too...
Bloop... SG That's what signals are for Signal early and filter before he is too close... use good judgement.
kops21 SG Company paid for the defensive driving. But theory only..sigh.... go through the rules and regulations. damn sian...but good also lah...alot forget already.....
