hello there. . . no matter where we go, there are always one or two numb nuts who make matters difficult for us. such people come and go. we should not, under any circumstances, allow those nimrods to affect our lives. stay happy Eddie and remain ignorant to those fools.sing07 wrote:That is what I was told at a stop light recently by a local (apparently racist) Singaporean Chinese after I tapped on his window to tell him to use his indicators after he cut me off twice in his triangle car and admitting fault. He also mentioned he was an off duty police officer. Oh really??!
So here are the two topics, I have been here 6 years legally and pay taxes and have recently got in 2 traffic accidents on (motorbike) not by my fault after having none (car or bike) in 20 years, ever! I have driven across the United States twice.
1) Why are these idiots such bad drivers here??
and
2) Does it have anything with the piss attitude which I have felt the past year or two which these people possess?
Any insights or stories like this from anyone?
and do the local Chinese need a lesson in history?
If I didnt have a few good local friends here to keep me level headed this could have got ugly.

.......... ummmmmmmmmmm you can talk coz ur not living here mr high and mighty.......try living here for awhile hey before u start talking...... we almost had lotsa accidents coz some stupid singaporean just decided to get in our lane right in front of us no indicator nothing. the same problem we have with asian drivers in sydney we are having here grrrrrrrrrr.Splatted wrote:hmm.. not sure what to say about this.
At least you don't get crazies following you home after you cut them off, and bashing you in your car as you arrive home, like what happened here in Melbourne over the last week due to road rage.
my 2c worth:
a) drive 5km slower than the speed limit - you'll get there just as fast
b) accept the way Singaporeans drive, you'll feel a lot more relaxed.
c) MYOB. You wont achieve anything. They will never admit they were in the
wrong if you confront them, so why bother?
What a delight you are! I'm sure our Vaucluse will find you especially interesting.
