Don't understand these motorcyclists

Maybe you shouldn't have put Malaysia. While you're at it, why dun compare with the US highway, where you get stuck in a jam for 3 hours in a row just to get from your home to work and back again.Originally posted by kopiosatu:my friend, KL is nothing. i mentioned thailand too.
besides its just one straight highway up.
What's with the downplay my fren? -
simple, i see no reason for you to get frustrated with the tame road situations we have.Originally posted by uhbaden:Maybe you shouldn't have put Malaysia.

Some? i think most...Originally posted by alberteinstein:not exactly rite. they are not angry by being overtaken, but by being overtaken dangeroulsly. U may think u only liap them, but have you seen how close you liap them? They infront abit want to change to centre then see from rear mirror ur car coming up fast and furious then they gotta change back to the in-between lane. Sure angry.
both sides should practice tolerance. I do agree some motorcyclist are very dangerous.
though not all...
Thay all have forgotten they wrapping metal, but we're wrapped in metal... -
Sorry my fren, you see your own reasons. Maybe you have a long way to go driving on the roads and I know my fustrations come from where. Right now I am fustrated with you. Can you stop that?Originally posted by kopiosatu:simple, i see no reason for you to get frustrated with the tame road situations we have. -
errrr....the prank course is to teach riders to control the bike at slow speed. The handle should not wobble at low speed, not to teach riders squeeze in-between vehicles. The speed on the prank is like 10km/h or less only. So get the fact right and don't miss lead the young riders and think that our Driving centre teach them to ride between vehicles is safe/right. We don't encourage that.Originally posted by alberteinstein:school dun teach MC to squeeze directly. But they indirectly teach by having the prank course...

some, not most... many drivers think motorcyclists ride very dangerously. However, you forgot all motorcyclists also dun wan to die. Certain things that appear to you as being dangerous are not viewed as dangerous to motorcyclists. If you also ride motorcyclist, then you will know what i mean. From my pt of view, squeezing in traffic at 60km/h is not dangerous. But squeezing at 100km/h is. If traffic is fast, most MC also wun squeeze. WHen they do, it is because traffic has slowed too much.Originally posted by mach10:Some? i think most...

Whatever MC do, car drivers just have to check make sure no MC is coming up behind whenever you want to change lane. This is normal safety taught by schools. Check rear and blindspot before changing lane. Dun bother abt MC because they will weave around you such that they will not bump you. Accidents happens only because cars suddenly change lane when the MC is coming up from behind and there is no time to react. -

I think it is difficult for a car-driver to know when to change lanes safely if MCs are going to weave in and out right? Since we are given and drawn lanes on the roads and highways, shouldn't the MCs also stick by the One-Lane-One-Vehicle rule? I mean that is the whole purpose of the lanes. Else it becomes like those countries mentioned by a so-called self-knowing-Coffee-Drinking-Spug.

It is really getting worrying. Just last week alone, everyday, there is either one MC and car, or MC and lorry accident that I saw on the highways and roads. That is at least 7 MC related accidents in one week. -
it is true that a lot of accidents involved MC. But if you are driving a car in a lane and the left or right lane is empty, wouldn't you also go in and fill it up if the traffic is slow? Similarly for MC, since they are small and can fit into the in-between lane, most MC will normally just do it.
I do understand there are many dangeous MC around. Even riding myself sometimes can get a scare from another MC coming so close to me. Imagine if i had just strayed a litttle, accident will had occured.
I believe(no proof, only believe) a lot of accidents occur because cars change lane without proper signalling. I felt this way because i had a few close encounters when cars did that to me and i had to jam brake. You know the feeling of jam braking in a car. Imagine doing that on a MC. However, if cars were to give proper signals, i will normally let it change lane. If you want to change lane, try signalling and put you car bonnet a little sideways. MC should give way to you, unless they are suicidal. -
4 all been said, always 2 sides of a coin. But wat i cannot tahan is ...n happens every day...motorcyclists riding on the line betwen 2 lanes!! Mind u even when there is no traffic, oblivious to all n sundry. by doing this they actually occupy 2 lanes!! and u gota siam them. they acquire this dangerous and dirty habit cos every time they stop at junctiion they r between cars, thus on the line all the time. Traffic pol shd fine them riding on the line. this is one cause of accidents.

i agree with you totally on this point. I have seen them, often it is those ah peks riding this way. Ah pek mah, dunno how to think, so still riding bike at the advance age. To overtake, I got to cut halfway into another lane. Dunno how to educate them also.Originally posted by ozie9:4 all been said, always 2 sides of a coin.
