I found that Malaysian driver as experienced and gentlement. I almost got accident because of SG drive at two single lane traffic. I over took him when almost half car he accelerate, of course I am not prepared, and didn't give me chance to filter left even there oncming traffic. I had to brake hard then filter behind him! I never had this experience with Malaysian driver (with Mal registered car), sometime I feel SG drive has ego like EF 50 f.10
I still overtook him at the end...my driving pace is faster then him.
Just my observation do not flame me.......
It is not because he is a Malaysian or a Singaporean, it is because he is a newbie. It takes years to become a good driver. Our licence do not make us one.
It is not skill or knowledge that is the toughest ot train but our attitude.
Are we a 'newbie' driver? Our honest answers to the following seven attitudes statement will speak of our status:
a. My driving skills is very high cannot be improved anymore.
b. Driving on the road is mass movement, not a mass waltz. Move it man!
c. Speed limit is a guide. 10 percent of my drive is above the speed limit and there are no accident and no scrapes. That proves it.
d. I can listen to loud music or even the handphone normally and drive safely.
e. It is not my duty to give way when others signal their intent. I have a choice to make.
f. Signalling early when changing lane is stupid. The other driver will sabo me.
g. The carpark area, esp at my own home area, are the safest place to drive.
Yes, these are deceptively simple but actually tough questions. A 'yes' answer to any of the above earns one a brand new newbie licence with one year warranty. :bsmilie:
It is not the number of years of driving that makes one a good driver. It is the number of years of good driving that can hornes us to be the Adam Ansel of the road.
