Driver was a middle age auntie.during the split second i saw her,her face was like no reaction at all to my horn.If i did not manage to ebrake on time i think i would have crash into her.

This kind of thing give and take la. Always happen in our daily driving. That's why always slow down when approaching junction even is green light. A lot of kuku drivers out there in our road now.

 

[yuichiroyt]

thank god nothing happened and you managed to stop in time.

she had all the time and space to look out for oncoming vehicles but she didnt bother to stop and look. my guess is that she thought ok since the car infront go i shd be safe to go. dangerous.

exactly. these days i avoid lane 1 whenever i can when i am travelling straight on a cross-junction.

you should have ram her and claim gao gao make her wake up her idea otherwise she tink she owns the road and cause others accidents down the road

Why driver is not suppose to be sitting on the left side of the car!?!?

Given if the driver is to be on the left, I think most people will wake up the idea not to wait for on-coming vehicle to go as most will only be 'AWAKE' when concerning of own personal safety.

pity can't really see the car plate number

Such incident is common.

All straight-going motorists must lookout for these right-turning ones.

Right-turning motorists must oso wait for the straight-going light to turn red, before making the turn. Some straight-going motorists will cheong one when they see amber light.

i also encounter this a few times. actually can sort of anticipate the other car's move. we just need to be extra alert in such situations like many other bros here say.

 

[runningman.snsd]

That's why my right leg is always on brake instead of accelerating when approaching this kind of junction

Better to be safe than saving those 2-3 mins

Nowadays approaching junction have to slow down just in case of situations like this. Defensive driving.


PS. As i mentioned before, this new right turn on green feature is causing a lot of accidents.

 

[Damsianla]

those lao unkers driving taxi is worse.. either when im at their blindspot area then can just cut into my lane without signalling and checking OR they dont even know how to drive straight, car go past the lines then i need to siam to avoid accident. ALWAYS happen when i enter ecp from marina and b4 i ext FR that stretch

 

[Nvoare]

When u're on that stretch of road doing a right turn, it's very hard to spot the opposite on coming cars as there's a slight road bend on the opposite lane.

I drive past there quite often and do a similiar right turn.. Everytime i wait for green arrow then i dare to turn.. Can't really see the opposite oncoming cars even if u move ur vehicle front. Just be extra alert when driving along that stretch.. The lady driver is definitely at fault in this case.

what is the new right turn on green feature? go straight and turn right at the same time?

Yes. Can turn right at intersection when opposite direction is green. If i remember correctly, this was started a few years ago, last time cannot turn right unless opposite direction is red.

 

[Shinji Kagawa]

my feet always on brake when approaching junction cause always suay suay will turn amber when im reaching. dont want to kanna snap by camera!

 

[Eatfullwaitdie]

Too many cars on the roads nowadays, coupled with impatient drivers. Just look at the number of jams daily due to accidents.

opps what i meant was straight and right turning for the same direction. I tot all along there is no red arrow for most junctions? Means we can turning anytime as long as opposite direction no cars?

I think lta should change all junctions to this. straight and right turning together for the same direction. pedestrians can cross safely on the left.
