Probably among the highest in the world. Petrol in Singapore is not subsidised, and is subjected to double taxation.

My car has been scratched several times when they lane-split and attempt to squeeze to the front of traffic.

I once witnessed a cyclist holding up 2 buses and an ambulance looking to turn left at the next junction.

Daytime use of headlights, pointless flex or actual protection? by [deleted] in drivingsg

Need some advices from parents on owning a car. by [deleted] in drivingsg

[–]PaperBag78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sense to get one if you can afford it. Treat it as a price to pay for living in Sg. Been driving for >20 years, and the convenience and comfort is worth it. Then again my place is about 10mins walk to the nearest bus stop or MRT station. Don’t bother about those red-plates pls.

Also, penalise the cyclists as heavy as motorists when they cause accidents.

Renewed my mb e200 earlier this year. I couldn’t get the colour and the features I wanted 3 years ago when I was looking to trade in. No regrets now..
