On the road.

first week of school, i do see a few new drivers from the school. Driving new cars with the famous P plate. heh. gratez to them getting their licenses and new cars.

but, gratez to me too for getting in 0 road accident so far. *touch wood* & having a clean driving record. please dont count those parking summons which i got & that 1 incident which i barely passed my breath analyser test.

I was driving home just now when i encouter this accident. never really see what's happening, but i just see those few cars in front of me slowed down very fast. while driving past this accident, i decided to take a pic. (with my third hand) *muack*



Just thinking, if i were to be on the road like 15 sec earlier, i will be the one stopping and assisting this biker up. i think u cant see much pain from this pic, but if u were to see his motion, u will goooo WTF!

So.... some advices for these new drivers.
1) take note of your surroundings while driving.
eg: the number of bike/car around you and their moving speed.

2) DO signal early before changing lane. At least for 2 10? sec IMO.

3) If u were practicing point no 1, u will have a much easier time during lane changing.

4) When squeezing between 2 cars while lane changing, please adjust ur speed to their speed! dont let any of the car do any braking just to let u squeeze in.

5) (with lane 1 = right most lane)
watch out for other lanes while lane changing, not only those 2 lanes which u r involved in.
eg: u r changing lane from 1 to 2, watch out for cars changing from 3 to 2.

6) DO check your blind spots. You dont wanna get into accident, esp banging into a bike.

7) driving within the speed limit. it's the general speed anyway, dont go hogging lane 1 at 90kph when all cars are moving at 110kph

8) dont think u r not doing road hogging at 70kph on a 70kph road COZ, refer to point 7.

9) Never tailgate. u dont know when the fucker in front is going to sabo u.

10) all other points which i have no time to type out.

all in all, road experience is a tricky thing. people with 20 years of driving experience can do stupid things at times. hmmmmm, try to have lane discipline at all times. except when u r encountering road hoggers, smoke them!

1 sentence PA said to me yesterday "u r just capped by ur van, if u were to drive ur integra... blah blah blah"

i just feel crippled only when i'm on the expressway.. LoL doing 70kph on expressway can make u fall asleep. REALLY

disclamer: if u were to follow my driving principles, dont blame on me or this blog. i'm just posting them for the dont know what.

to those new drivers, when r u guys going to give me a ride? i'm pretty sick of driving.
