no brainer rider
-
morning around 9 plus was travelling on ECP at east coast area, morning traffic was at its best
i was going at 110kmh on the first lane beside the markings near 2nd lane, this bugger came from behind n started blowing me madly, i bo chup coz traffic packed, he started blowing madly again then seeing a lobang beside me he cut pass me n lap me and open throttle all the way squeezing in between traffic in between 1st and 2nd lane, trying to prove to me his red R1 wif transparent rear lites is fast?
seh chia at morning traffic at 140kmh ?
complete suicide to me, surprisingly class 2 liao still a no brainer, hope he dosent ride like this wif his gf or his friend..
these kind of pple contribute to the insurance hikes
these kind of pple gives bikers a bad image
wonder when they will learn -

Why do the bikers not ride in the middle of the lane - either Lane ONE and go fast at 110 kmh or more; or Lane TWO or Lane THREE and go at 110 kmh or less ?
I have noticed that even on Lane THREE or FOUR, sometimes there are very few vehicles, or there is gaps of 100 to 300 meters between each of the large slow vehicles (that still travel about 70 to 80 kmh on most expressways).
Riding the bike along the dotted road markings, and between two fast lanes, is just asking for trouble.
When two fast vehicles tavel past a bike, the air stream can make the bike unstable.
Furthermore, the paint used on the dotted line can be slippery even on normal days, and worst during the rainy period.
Interesting to learn from bikers about this very unusual death invititng habit.... -

i was not overtaking, but keeping up wif the traffic
in morning traffic, all 4 lanes r packed, lane 1 and 2 are moving the slowest
riding in the middle of the lane n overtaking cars is dangerous jus like wad our R1 friend did
riding near the dotted lines and not overtaking is the same as riding in the middle of the lane
as ninjabug has mentioned, this is to avoid any road hazards in lane 1, lane 1 has tress beside them,in morning peak traffic how gd is ur visibility of anything beyond the car infront of u?
do u know at high speed even a fallen branch can cause a bike to have accident? can u imagine the consequences of skidding in the first lane?
unusal death-inviting habit? think again -
These idiots, if they want to die, should die elsewhere so that no one need see them kill themselves or worse, get wiped out when they are killing themselves.
Should arrest these idiots for endangering other people's lives... take away their license for ALL classes of vehicles and make them take public transport! -

wah!!! thats abit hash liao..... -
I disagree to that being harsh... a license is a responsibility, not just something.
There are other people being responsible and safe, and these maniacs, with stupidity and recklessness cause injury and death to these responsible people.
Like I said, if the maniacs want to die, they should die alone.. and not cause misery to others.Originally posted by InSPirE78: wah!!! thats abit hash liao..... -

There r all sorts of road users.
And when i stay close to the dotted divider line on expway, some cars will come beside me! KNN!! They cant even see the area very near the left bumper of their car. Its like want to knock/ bully smaller road users like us! One more thing, even they do that, they r only 1 or 2 car length near to their destination with the long queue in front. -
a question for riders.
Is it true that some bikes can only do 70kmh and no more than that??
I've encountered many times these bikers overtaking in between cars on the busier stretch of road but when the road is clear they r still at 70kmh (expressway). The they ride close to the lane markers so difficult to overtake coz when I change to fasster lane, they r still too close for comfort. -

and some bikers just don't like riding behind a car. it's kinda dangerous. -
Actually there is human nature I guess. When you change to a bigger bike, the tendency of you going faster is normal. Be it whether you say that riding in the middle of the lane is safer or we should all stay in the middle of the lane, I still think that the most important thing is that you must be aware of what is around you. Look far ahead as well as check what is behind. If you are not sure of what is around you, you are a hazard no matter where you go.
In peak hours where most bikes are always squeezing between traffic, I always make it a point if there is another bike that is tailing me very close, I will let them go first (and most of the time it's R1) . Probably next time when you upgrade your bike you will also squeeze between traffic faster. -
People whose IQ drops to negative regions and harbour a strong deathwish when the don a helmet and straddle a motorcycle.
Those who weave in and out of traffic on the expressways (you've seen them), and generally cause accidents that hurt, maim and kill other people who are careful and responsible.

unusal death-inviting habit? think again
BTW if a long branch is to fall, it will go across the entire road width, not just a single lane.
The safest lane is on the left most lane, between the road shoulder and Lane 3 (or Lane 4 in a major expressway), where the slower vehicles are.
Every morning, most of the faster goods vehicles (at 90 kmh) are travelling on Lane 2, and the not so fast (at 70 - 80 kmh) are moving on Lane 3, while the very slow ones (at 60 kmh) are on Lane 4.
It is on this Lane 4, that you can find a long gap between one truck from the other, while the going is real heavy on Lane 3 and 2; with Lane 1 taken up by most frustrated car drivers.
It is these frustrated car drivers on Lane 1 and the faster goods vehicles on Lane 2 that normally cause accidents to most "Bikers" that loves to travel "NEXT" to the dotted lines between Lane 1 and 2.
One slight drift from the goods vehicles on the left in Lane 2, or a slight drift from the car on the right in Lane 1, then the "biker" gets sandwiched. Not a pretty sight, once you get shaken by the air stream of both these types of vehicles.
Try riding between the road shoulder and / or the middle of Lane 4 (on 4 lane highways) or Lane 3 (on 3 lane carriageway). -
is that your perspective as a rider or a driver?Originally posted by Atobe:The safest lane is on the left most lane, between the road shoulder and Lane 3 (or Lane 4 in a major expressway), where the slower vehicles are.
i personally find lanes 3 and 4 to be the most dangerous of all lanes, purely because it's filled with huge trucks and lorries, during heavy traffic, they would be moving at extremely slow speeds, maybe 20-30kmh (i don't have a speedo, those are guesstimates), their size alone would block a huge portion of your view, if anything happened up ahead you would be the last to find out. their size would also prevent you from even trying to overtake them. if you go inbetween them slowly, you risk being crushed. if you try to add some speed, and sudden actions by them would also cause you to get crushed.
i wouldn't even travel between 3 and 2 because having big intimidating vehicles travelling beside me isn't exactly a reassuring ride.
the safest is still between 1 and 2, where the cars are smaller. their speeds are also the fastest, which aids a smoother and more consistent flow of traffic. it also helps that you can actually see through or above them to checkout the traffic infront. remember, we're taught to look far in the driving centres.
and please don't rap on about how we shouldn't travel between cars at high speeds. it's alot safer to overtake them as fast as possible then to get stuck between them. i'm not telling you to travel at 140-60 through all the cars, but if they're travelling at 80 (usually), it's alot safer to go through them at 100 than to risk getting sandwiched in between them.
