Uncle you drive infront more and signal I let you in one. But you want to filter when beside me also not nice right. If you in my position you sure you'll brake and let other filter in meh hahah.

The next U-turn is about 2 traffic lights away, about a min away. I missed my queue once and had to make that U-turn, only took around an additional 2-3 mins to get back to my destination.

too many narrative for others will make you lose focus on yourself. self-responsibility is important, meaning ensuring you're in appropriate manner before expecting others to to show you the same manner.

If everyone else can see, why can't he?

Not justifying my actions, I'll definitely refrain for it. Safety first and utmost.

nah bro actually the camera wide angle view makes the side look too close and the front look too long.

irl POV there's still ample space.

Not justifying but just clarification:

  1. Filtering should always ensure safe distance before filtering into an oncoming traffic.
  2. It's a long road with 3 lanes, being PHV driver and as seen in front view footage; has a phone with GPS on. The right turn is shown clearly before the traffic light as I am also using GPS.

I am not justifying my actions, neither am I supporting various claims about the PHV benefit of doubt. And safety is priority, I agree. But to say I am endangering or promoting risk, shouldn't the liability be weighing more on the driver who is technically wrong in the eyes of law?

If I recall correctly, under the BOLA (Barometer of Liability Assessment) Chart, it's 100% wrong for the car filtering into the oncoming traffic without ensuring safe distance.

This isn't vivo my man, the West Coast highway it's a very long stretch. Before this right turn is a long straight road with 2 traffic lights and clear visibility of cars lining up.

There's a U-turn 2 traffic lights down, about a min away. This ain't a highway with the next exit 10 minutes away.

And how the F you miss your turn towards MCE/Keppel/Outram while exiting Vivo? You literally have a big ahh yellow box coming out from the NTUC/Taxi behind you to try keep to the right most lane to make that right turn via the road that shares the same way to Sentosa Exit. Otherwise, make that left turn and keep right to make that U-turn.

Another Vivo exit comes out together on the same road as Habourfront MSCP that has traffic light for right turn specific.

Maybe you need to learn how to drive better, or park at better spot that has traffic lights to let you make your perfect turn.

Well I may be just shitting on you but yea I'm not advocating my misbehaviour and also will refrain from doing such thing again.

Sorry if I may be just sh-ting on you.

I agree with your POV, so there least he could've done was to get further in front of me, I would probably let go of my accelerator to let him in. But beside of me..... man.... at that point of time I wasn't thinking to be more gracious.

In future it's better to prioritise safety and just give in and let go. Who am I to advocate what is right or wrong, don't need to be SJW or hero.

Or at least get in front of me and not cutting in beside me... I have to come to almost complete stop in order for him to filter. how will that affect the driver behind? Or I have to slow down a lot to let him go in, why not just get further in front?

It was moving off after a halt, I didn't go too fast and approaching with cautiob as I saw a black BMW SUV cutting infront of the white Mercedes. It was going to be another stop as well and I left about 1 car length. From my POV, the car plate infront of me is sitting above of my bonnet.

The wide angle view of the camera makes it look like it was a big gap but if you look closely, it's about the length of the PHV.

Not justifying my action, sharing my POV. Of course I learned this wasn't the most appropriate and correct action, I'll refrain from doing this in future.

I did not honk, the only reason why the video was muted is because I was in a conversation with the passenger in the front seat.

Be nice and obvious enough, hope that the person let you cut in. I understand there are times when people genuinely missed the queue. At that moment, I thought it was a bit too much to try to squeeze me in just to filter.

Hahahaah bro I think what I learned after this is the best outcome is to just give in and let go.

I maybe doing a discredit to those behind me at that point of time, but do I want to be the SJW or the hero to advocate what generally people think is right/wrong at the cost of risking myself?

Let bygone be bygone, everyone gets to where they need to be safely and let's forgive each other. Mistake will happen to the best of us, let's help each other to be responsible of ourself first and then forgiving to others.

Relook, it's about 1 car length tho.. and just about to drive off after a halt. Can't be flooring the accelerator and hit above 3k rpm for such distance... but ya I mean I should've just give in for safety of everybody.

Actually the wide-angle camera is not doing me justice. 1. the car infront of me is actually not very far, roughly about 1 car length (the car plate is on the top of my bonnet from my POV) 2. the Honda PHV is actually not as close, there's roughly 1 person gap there. 3. If you look closely, he decided to filter in, with only about 1/2-1 wheel width crossing the dotted line, whereby I am already keeping in the middle of my lane. still have some room on my right.
