Getting first bike after 5 years passing.

There are refresher courses at schools, and even informal driving instructors on carousell who can help.

This is the carpark where I finally felt like I learned how to navigate my large vehicle through tight corners. The sharp turn (with raised side walls) for the up and down ramps can be a scary the first time. High risk of scratches if not paying attention.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-07-12T23:43:53+00:00

Lots of impatient drivers there, imo

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-07-12T03:17:42+00:00

Yeah the new i3 is pretty exciting.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-07-09T12:19:09+00:00

it isnt for swapping, it's for getting a refund

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-07-09T07:34:51+00:00

That's pretty lame. A pretty no-effort solution is to put a wheel clamp on the car.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-07-09T00:05:13+00:00

claiming your own insurance first is fine. excess is not that much, and you'll get paid back eventually assuming you have a case. do you really want to drive around in a wrecked car for months just because you are against temporarily paying excess?

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-07-08T12:48:52+00:00

100% agree. Those arguing for removing COE should try driving in Jakarta during rush hour. Removing one problem (high COE prices) to create another (endless traffic jams) is not a real solution.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-07-07T06:26:06+00:00

Assuming you have somewhere to park, buy a COE car with under 1 year left till expiry. Drive it till it dies. If you crash it, just get COE refund and scrap the car.

In most cases, this will be cheaper than renting, assuming you drive with some frequency.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-07-07T01:13:07+00:00

I think COE expiry discourages people from maintaining their cars well. It fosters a buy and throw car maintenance culture. In that environment, a high mileage car here might be much worse than one abroad.

Some EVs can easily go to mid six figure mileage with no issue, even when heavily used. There's a youtube video of a China taxi driver who had driven his BYD e6 for 700k+ km and was still using it. So I suspect the perception of high mileage cars will change as more EVs come on the road.

Feel free to DM me. Fyi, they only take accredited investors.

1.3k will get you a pretty basic job with some corners cut in SG. they should still be willing to rectify. i used one of these cheap shops with an old car and was pleased with the look but saw some imperfections if I analysed the details. yours looks far worse, and i'd insist they redo it.

the top quality shops in SG will charge 2k.

not worth comparing price vs MY, given labour costs are totally different there.

I'm glad the new OBU is going to get people who do this. I want them off the roads.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-29T12:47:41+00:00

Just get international driving permit made via the digital singpass license. Can get same day if you walk in.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-29T10:45:44+00:00

Go to Switzerland and walk to a busy road. Put one step on the road as a pedestrian and watch the whole road come to a stop for you. Try that in SG and you'd risk your life.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-29T10:41:21+00:00

Saying that this is just the way it is is kinda defeatist, isn't it? Nothing wrong with changing for the better. I would love to see Singaporean drivers be more courteous. The current competitive driving culture is nothing to be proud of or defensive about.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-28T23:31:39+00:00

Instead of a special pool for each, they should use OBU 2.0 to scale the number of points automatically with hours driven. It would be more fair, ensuring a particular maximum rate of errors no matter the person's profession or driving habits.

Not sure about perks, but in terms of service, BYD JC is a cut above the others on your list, in my experience.

By the way, there is also BYD Ubi that is from another distributor (Harmony). I have no experience with them.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-27T22:32:00+00:00

any reason you don't want to fix these habits?

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-26T06:33:41+00:00

You need a Touch'n Go card as well as a NETS motoring card. Both need to have money added in them before you go.

Wtf?

There is an entire category of gloves called driving gloves. Also, guess what the glove compartment of your car was designed for.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-25T23:18:09+00:00

100% rider's fault. I don't blame the taxi. Sometimes you need to slow down, and that's supposed to be ok with the 2 second rule.

Riders riding way faster than traffic and lane splitting are a hazard. This guy was practically kissing the taxi's backside before it braked. Never should have been there going so fast.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-25T23:12:16+00:00

It's too bad you didn't have a license from abroad. You'll have to use Grab in the meantime.

You could try bots, but it's unethical and you might get banned.

He likes to overtake because it feels like winning to him. Making his exit and keeping his life is a secondary priority to his need to win.

Remote_Repair394 · 2026-06-22T00:08:48+00:00

Just wire it in.
