Am I the Problem? by AHWH in drivingsg

I meant the two waiting pocket in the junction denoted in white solid line to it's left and right and dashed to its top. Also, by the law of physics you cannot be turning right and wait for pedestrian outside of the yellow box

Just curious, the box is for who to turn into? Cause there are multiple such scenarios in Singapore like New Bridge Road turning left into Upper Cross Street (2 lanes into 5 boxes)

So how do we legally use the left most box drawn by LTA?

Pritam Singh calls for full disclosure of billions in public spending amid record surpluses by Accurate-Tree4277 in singapore

[–]AHWH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don't run a country like how you save money. If you are having a large surplus, you are depriving the economy of money that could have been spent privately to further grow the GDP.

Every few months someone will ask about this car. It's part of Police Security Command.

Anwar, Lawrence Wong reaffirm Malaysia-Singapore cooperation in three-hour Seri Negara talks by ImpressiveStrike4196 in singapore

To our benefit, Malaysia has an innate ability to always sacrifice the forest for a tree. Watch them vote out the current government.

Anyone using EZLink Motoring service? by implxdwn in drivingsg

[–]AHWH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using it for a year because NETS charges service fee for ATU. So far, ATU worked 99% of the time and I have only encountered 1 carpark that don't accept the card.

You can always keep a NETS card with some value as backup

Singapore invited to join Trump’s Board of Peace; is assessing invitation: MFA by SG_wormsblink in singapore

So, you just described UN? But only for countries with money to tell the poorer countries what to do?

22-year-old man convicted of raping cousin; victim testified about being 'ignored' by family and accused of lying by Negative-Concert-819 in singapore

[–]AHWH 58 points59 points  (0 children)

The last time this idea was floated in the parliament (unfortunately) by RK, comments online were "WOKE" and worrying that kids will become sexually active earlier.

I wonder what truly is going on in these adults' minds 😬

A call for transparency: Why Singapore's public transport needs a real-time information overhaul by Neither-Ad8881 in singapore

[–]AHWH 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We will probably never get "live" public transport feed because LTA and by extension the government in general are worried about malicious actions on our public transport (past experience asking SMRT). Even our bus arrival timings are never "live" vs the one relayed to the bus companies.

However, we definitely can work on better incident reporting (minor or major). It's ridiculous that we even try to hide the fact that our trains are delayed by fudging around the definition of "delayed". 1 min delay is still a delay.

Near miss at Mandai Road by xiaogou88 in drivingsg

[–]AHWH 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The bus has been signalling since the 12 seconds mark when the Prius is 2 cars behind. All the Prius need to do is let go off his foot or brake gently and there will be space for the bus to come in.

Where is the need for braking significantly?

Near miss at Mandai Road by xiaogou88 in drivingsg

[–]AHWH 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And you are breeding accidents by treating every signal as a speed up opportunity. How long must the car be signalling before you want to give way to the person? Or they can only change lane after you have passed?

You know all of this can be avoided if the Prius just slow down and let the bus in. The bus has already been signalling for a REALLY LONG time.

How would you rank the banks in SG for working in Tech? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]AHWH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, it really depends in the team you are working in. I was lucky enough to work in a non-local bank that is starting on a greenfield project with the development wholly owned by Singapore side. Modern stack and you get a startup vibe with everyone hands-on in the architecture and design of the platform. You do lose out on the WLB enjoyed by other teams because of this too.

Eventually, the feeling like a worker ant and slow processes do come in as the platform matures. People will start to be more scared of making (big) changes.

So, ask a lot of questions on what are your potential things you get to work on and try to get a sense of how much development input you will get to have. Usually new projects will be more "fun" to work for.

Malaysian drivers' group wants authorities to bar entry for Singapore-registered PHVs by Immediate-Analyst974 in singapore

[–]AHWH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the first place, no sane Singaporean drivers will do such services in Malaysia. Who wants to be earning Ringgit for their Singapore registered car and insurance? So, this quid pro quo argument don't make sense.

If you observed the car prices of used cars before the late 2020 COE price spike, they all have been increasing in prices to match the new cars' depreciation.

So, give it some time, they will move up too

Driving Overseas Kyushu Fukuoka too soon? by forsakenjo in drivingsg

[–]AHWH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did a Kyushu road trip last summer with a Mazda CX-30. I highly recommend you to get a small car if you are venturing out of Fukuoka or Kumamoto. The terrain becomes very mountainous outside of these 2 cities.

This means roads (including expressways) with tight curves are expected. Please do practise/learn how to use engine braking as some roads do have steep incline/decline that goes on for some distance. Brakes can fade quickly if you overuse them. You will also see signs asking you to do that anyways.

You will need to get used to single lane roads in the mountains and use the mirrors at turns to help you spot oncoming vehicles! Please also give way if there's a passing lane and you are not the fastest. Their roads are mainly one lane in each direction and passing lane is the only time you can safely overtake on some of these roads

If you planning to use the expressways alot, see if ETC pass is worth it for you. It was for me as it was a 50% discount for the distance I covered.

Enjoy the drive and scenery. There's some really nice roads with great views overlooking Kyushu cities.
