I was in a coach that took my group on a city tour of Colombo several years ago. The driver never took his hand off the horn, and other motorists did likewise. It was so stressful for all the passengers (especially the tourists).
i was in cowcutta and my taxi was t-boned by a 3-wheeler. the taxi was so heavy and tough (hindustan ambassador) it took the collision with a scratch. the 3-wheeler was almost totaled.
that’s other pet peeve in sg. human collisions waiting to happen. especially at crowded hawker centers, malls and mrt stations. on almost every occasion in those places someone would rush at a quicker pace and step in front of me just to be ahead. on a few occasions i would raise an elbow with the pointed end at their direction pretending to scratch my arm to prevent them from cutting in front of me. if they bump into me depends on chiobu or ugly pig. if chiobu i will let her bump. if ugly pig i will make pork stew.
Most Sinki like to wear a “mask”
The worst pedestrians are those with their eyes firmly glued to their phones. One such girl decided to suddenly cut sharply into my path to go up an escalator at West Mall recently, causing me to swerve abruptly to my right to avoid a collision. Instead of apologising, she shook her head as if to indicate that I should have anticipated her sudden change of direction. These "phone zombies" are the worst jaywalkers.
This stupid woman driver even drifted to the lane on her right because she was about to hit the car in front as she didn’t want to give way.
I do not think that it has to do with getting to her destination faster. She just refused to let the other driver gain a perceived advantage over her.
it's an ego problem i think .ie. must not be taken advantage of
How wrong u are? I've been to almost all countries in Europe and asia. U cannot compare india pakistan or Vietnam with their very poor roads, lack of traffic lights and police or road signs or uneducated villagers there. For singapore with its excellent wide roads and traffic signs etc and supposedly a first class world city with highly educated population, the level of driver skills and mannners is definitely the worst!!!
A couple of years ago, there was a new car model promotion and motor enthusiast news columnist from several Countries were invited yo Taiwan for test drive and sinkie group had to be accompanied by local drivers.
