Sometimes got to take it easy - Once I moved aside for a car that flashed me for cruising at 80kmh on the first lane. That part of the ECP 80kmh limit ..... (had a feeling something is not right that day so decided not to push anything .......)

He sped past me and went I guess at 100-110 Kmh ...... 1 minutes later at the road shoulder he stood blanked face in front of TP.......Too bad for him.

No matter ..... Singapore is so small. If an M3 goes from Changi to Tuas versus a Vios .... Averagely the M3 will reach there 10 minutes faster.

Barring a life threatening situation - what day to day business you would have that you can't lose these 10 minutes. Else, just overtake safely on the left (yes a minor inconvenience) and then forget it it ......

Agree with taking a more relaxed attitude to driving - live and let live.

Completely disagree with overtaking on the left -- it's dangerous and a cause for accident. Nothing safe about it. The slow driver needs to filter left.

u see, with all these road hogging and bad lane discipline by lorries, trucks, JB bikes, Sg cars, F1 drivers, Kia Lambo Forte Koup etc etc, u wonder why TP or LTA do not step up enforcement and weed these assholes out...instead they sibeh free go carpark or cruise on highways to check tinting and illegal mods and in the rain somemore....

I have different view to ovetaking from left is dangerous and is root cause of accident.
It's just like filtering to the left. If you are overtaking from left using the emergency lane, you are dangereous.

Like Red Bean bun said, if you met someone who doesn't want to move, just overtake from the left - after checking your mirrors and blindspot. It will make you live longer rather than getting frustrated which will end up with high blood pressure.

When u think u are being tailgate, pls think again if u are in fact the roadhogger regardless of speed. Extreme right lane is "over-taking lane" for goodness sake and not for cruising! However if u move to the left lane and he still stick closely behind you, this is call tailgating... Till u guys happen to be on emergency like wife giving birth, sai coming out from ur pants, rushing for ur sick one somewhere etc, u will understand the diffence between tailgating and roadhogging.

OT

Last time I represented a client who was speeding at 120km/hr on ECP n kenna caught. His reason was his sai at the tip liao and some sai already come out. TP said no excuse and charged him in court.

I asked the judge if a driver is on highway and need to Lau sai, should he drive faster to find toilet or stop by road shoulder and Lau sai in the bushes, both of which are offenses.

The Judge said a car is a mobile anything, even a toilet.

I then asked, by that analogy, a car can be used as a love hotel, and which again is also an offense?

The judge let my client off with a warning.

I da man

Totally agreed! Even if I'm doing 160kph on the 1st lane on M'sia NSH.. A car is coming fast from my back.. I will filter to the left lane & let him pass.. Then switch back to 1st lane again if the traffic allows me to do so

Re: Driver crusing 70 - 80km/h at expressway 1st lane is a nuisance

I realize this cruising at 70-80km/h trend started when LTA review the max speed upward for most of the vehicles.
The left most lane is use by heavy vehicle driving at 50km/h, the centre will be used by other vehicles driving between 60-70km/h.
That's left with the right lane for "faster" vehicles that want to avoid the left and centre lane.
