poor driving woes
-
hi all, i passed my driving in 2000 but only started driving for 1 week. i noticed my driving skills is ok except for overtaking, which on numerous occasions have been horned and flashed at. today, almost had a near accident... how to be a better driver?
-
go for refreshment course ....
-
overtaking or lane changing?
if is overtaking, then dun overtake lor... until u feel confident enuf...
if is lane changing.. i tink is normal.. cos it need a lot of judgement & experience. u need to c the car behind at the lane u want to change to, then u need to c the car in front of u... then if u change too slow, the car behind ur lane will slow down becos of u... then when u change to the other lane, u need to observe the car infront too... so troublesm.. -
Overtaking also kenna honk and flash.Originally posted by superworm99:hi all, i passed my driving in 2000 but only started driving for 1 week. i noticed my driving skills is ok except for overtaking, which on numerous occasions have been horned and flashed at. today, almost had a near accident... how to be a better driver?
Agree. Should take a refresher course. -
you need to explain why you kena horned and beamed. cos when cutting in never put on enough speed so the car you overtaking have to slow down? or you never give enough clearance b4 going back to the lane in front of the car you jsut overtook?
and where. kena when on over taking lane and travel too slow so the car behind have to slow down so not happy? -
You guy or girl???
I know girls overtake or lane change, no need look side mirror and blind spot. They just signal and change lane liao.
If you girl, then it's normal lah. -
one way to improve ur skills: GO BACK TO TP to retake ur practical!!!
hate drivers who saw behind cars fast forwading, den sudenly from theside got car wan cut in...
farking drivers who long time nv drive go take refreshment course... dun waste ppl time, and dun be a hassle to the road.. please and thanks! -
dont sound so fierce ... i think you just need more training ... you will feel better ... although i just pass my license like one month ago , i been getting help from relative lending me car and driving in expressway and all sort of roads with loads of guidance ..
another way is get an experience driver and guide you along or side beside you ... -
Cutting in does not mean got to speed in everytimeOriginally posted by hisoka:you need to explain why you kena horned and beamed. cos when cutting in never put on enough speed so the car you overtaking have to slow down? or you never give enough clearance b4 going back to the lane in front of the car you jsut overtook?

If the car in front all suddenly slow down you also gotta response even as you form into your new lane -
does it matter if its girls or guys ?

You're doing ok.
Learn from your mistakes.
Remind yourself not to repeat them.
So that the more you drive the better you get. -
Make sure that everytime you intend to overtake, must sure you have at least 1 and half car length spaces for you to cut in. :]

ya lor.. i got a female friend who can drive better than some of my male friends and she is driving a WRX..Originally posted by Nadare:does it matter if its girls or guys ?

Driving is mostly about feel. And practise. Go out later in the night if necessary to just drive around. If you don't feel good or are unable to drive late at night, go for a refresher course. Failing that, go find an experienced driver friend/relative to drive you around, then sit beside you as you drive.
Jiayou!

trial and error

Did you signal? If you never signal then suddenly overtake I will also horn, flash and perhaps even show middle finger at you.Originally posted by superworm99:hi all, i passed my driving in 2000 but only started driving for 1 week. i noticed my driving skills is ok except for overtaking, which on numerous occasions have been horned and flashed at. today, almost had a near accident... how to be a better driver?
Actually its all about judgment lah. Sometimes Singaporean drivers tend to always have tunnel vision, which is like only look in front when driving and not aware about what is happening around him/her. Only when wanna change lane or overtake then check mirrors. By then sometimes already too late then all the dangerous stunts will come out. If possible, I feel a driver must try to plan around 5 cars ahead of him as far as possible. So that no need to cut lane and overtake dangerously.
Also, on a sidenote, I always notice drivers, especially females (not trying to be sexist here), like to arch forward and drive while sitting on the edge of their seats. Relax leh, not driving F1 car leh. Somemore, I sit back relax drive with 1 hand also go faster than them. Bad habit you know... -
may i tell u it's perfectly normal? ppl like to honk at u and flash their lights whether u're right or wrong got signal or not. they cb think the lane is for their use only. want to make a perfectly safe overtake they also close up on the gap.
near accidents happen all the time.Originally posted by superworm99:hi all, i passed my driving in 2000 but only started driving for 1 week. i noticed my driving skills is ok except for overtaking, which on numerous occasions have been horned and flashed at. today, almost had a near accident... how to be a better driver? -

Be mindful of bus lane hours, don't tailgate, dun follow behind female drivers (esp. those with kids in the backseat) dun follow taxi drivers & last but not least the most golden rule in driving..., dun hit any person or persons. Also, signal before turning, dun stop at bus stop or use handphone whilst driving.

That is right. You should go for a refreshment course soon before it is too late.Originally posted by bill89:go for refreshment course .... -

after 1000km of driving alone, i think i am a better driver now but still not good with driving up those swirling carpark. any idea?
-
hmm slow down ur speed when turning
-
keep to the far left if turning right up, or keep to far right if turning left up, vice versa for going down. Watch for traffic
