What would you do?

[timechaser]

This carries shadows of the driving thread which went ballistic yesterday so be warned. No insinuations of racism are intended or implied.

Was driving home last night at about 1015. Filtered off a main road into a side road. Single lane road so happily chugged along and a short while saw a man (Chinese, blond hair, vest, with an old but pretending to be young lady next to him) driving a white boxster, top down. Single lane road, and twisty somemore so followed him till he turned into a two lane road (same one I want to take). At which point he starts driving in the middle of the two fucking lanes (one way road so only two lanes, same direction...) . Not allowing me to pass. And slows down to 30 or so. Getting royally pissed off now as all I want to do is get home but it doesnt end here. Another short single lane stretch later - once again a two lane road (again same direction both lanes) and he AGAIN drives in the middle of the fucking road - this time at 20.

I got infuriated and honked several times. Only when I reached my home entrance (he turned into the one across the road so not that he was deliberately leading me on, but just driving like a cock) he gave me way. I wound the window down to ask him - it's a two lane road. Why the fuck you driving in the middle... All he did was flipped me a finger and went into the parking.

So wish I wasnt in a rush - would have gotten out with my trusted 9 iron for a nice chit chat with him.

What would you do in such a situation? I wish I could meet him on the road again so that I can :nutkick:

Re: What would you do?

lol...i hate this kinda of driver...

would show him the middle finger...if not happy come down la...

Re: What would you do?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a heavy hint that his behaviour relates to what type of car he thinks he is driving (so can do whatever he wants) and/or the place he lives (so I guess that is a landed property innit?) or he is lost hence slowing down for direction.

Idiotic joker driver.

Incidentally, I have this mental reservation about female drivers, especially when it comes to contingent judgement and parking.

But I doubt I am a sexist.

Re: What would you do?

sometimes u just need to breathe n chill, i think im only raising my blood pressure if i have to bother with the inconsiderate drivers on the road. thankfully i have my family to calm me down in many instances.

the only people u r affecting in these cases are your passengers n yourself.

Re: What would you do?

He should be considerate towards other road users. Of course I dont know what's going on in the car but ....if he gives middle finger then he's wrong, he should at least wave and say sorry. Just my humble opinion.

This morning i was driving along main road, a driver wanted to merge into my main road from a slip road. The driver cut into my lane from her slip road at the triangle island, even BEFORE the start of the double white line. I think that's dangerous because she caught me by surprise and I have to e brake and swerve to avoid banging into her. Then I scolded cb in my car and my daughter repeated the word cb 10 times after me. Jialat!

Some ppl in their cars are full of ego, tinking that their car is top of the world. The fella in his boxster might have been insecure about his car therefore he purposely blocked your way. If your car was a lesser make, he might have slowed down on one lane and when you attempt to overtake, he will accelerate to make u feel fustrated.

But now u r driving the R35 so he knows he sure lose, so he purposely block your way.

The fella is a loser! Nothing much you can do, but next time before ppl have a chance to purposely block ur way, blast pass them and proceed on ur way.

Nothing much we can do "legally" in such situations.

Karma will catch up with him. Just remember his face. Who knows you could see him again but this time round selling tissue paper in Orchard road. Buy some from him to build good karma.

Not really, even if ur car is faster n better, he will think his is a German marque n yours is a jap car.hence lower class

Many are like that. Judge ppl by the car they drive n then behave accordingly. You see he does the same if a Lamborghini was behind him?

If I was driving an old car I was going to scrap.... I would push my way through and drive him off the road....



If I was driving a nice car, I would chill.....drive slow, enjoy the sound system.


if my patience is wearing thin.... maybe flash high beam first.... if flashes of high beams dun work.....then I will be good sweeper and flash high beams permanently on to help illuminate the road for the car in front of me.....

if it still does not get my message across, then horn blaring.


If I was driving in a condo estate with posted speed limit, I would go slow, dun care if the ang moh / FT behind me is tail gating me to go faster etc.... then if I get F'ed.... I will F them back.

I have been told off by a few caucasian FTs who got irritated with my slow driving in the estate.... when posted limit is 15km/h. my response was cool... and simple....'sorry, my mistake....I will speed the next time especially if I see you teaching your kids how to ride a bicycle in the estate.' flashed a smile at them.

Re: What would you do?

Just wana share that I use the honk at least once when I drive to work every morning, mostly at taxi cutting into my lane or cars driving on 2 lanes slowly at peak hours.
So next time if any bros see me honking at some cars in my E92 pls forgive me...I'm just venting my frustration before I get a heart attack in the car.

*Peace.

This part I wouldn't do. Instead of an apology, these idiots will more likely, as he did, show you a rude gesture. That's the standard response of drivers with neither vocabulary nor brains. Don't join their ranks by pulling out your 9-iron.

If you're gonna communicate, show him a thumbs-down instead. His ego will touch off an entertaining reaction

thumbs down! must try.
