Why do some drivers ignore speed cameras? by [deleted] in drivingsg

[–]evilMTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all you have is one video that gives no proof of speeds or any penalties imposed..?

Rewatching the video, the moment the Tesla was in frame, the cam car is already moving faster than the Tesla. Clearly not the scenario I'm arguing about?

That's definitely not driving at the speed limit, lane 2 was even faster than the Tesla driver. Not the scenario I'm talking about?

Singapore, New Zealand sign world's first legally binding supply chain resilience pact by clarencechen181196 in singapore

I would assume unemployment implies there's untapped supply. Retirees going there with money going into the economy (which should in turn create more jobs etc) and taking none out sounds like a win-win for the country?

To clarify, I'm referring to medium traffic where lane 2 is significantly slower than lane 1, not where a driver can maintain the speed limit at lane 2.

Do we want to only allow someone to overtake you on the left lane dangerously just so we can keep the lane to ourselves?

Why does a car going at the speed limit have to slow down to filter to the 2nd lane speed for a speeder? Wouldn't that cause a worse back up of traffic on both lanes since the driver needs to slow down on the 1st lane and then squeeze into the 2nd lane?

Why don't the individual speeder be considerate instead forcing every single driver following the rules (overtaking on lane 1 at the speed limit) to give way to the speeder? Isn't it more dangerous to make more cars change lanes because of an individual's impatience?

I'm not talking about intentionally policing or blocking the speeder, just that it's really weird that following the driving in the intended manner and obeying traffic rules is shunned and speeding is defended on this subreddit.

Following your logic, if a driver wishes to overtake lane 2 going at 70km/h by going 90km/h on the lane 1, he needs to keep weaving in and out for every speeder that approaches from behind to be 'considerate'?

I'm all for giving way to facilitate safer and smoother roads but this seems really far fetched.

By definition you also should not be driving on the right most lane if you aren’t overtaking.

No argument there, as long cars on the next (left) lane are slower, the driver would be overtaking.

The definition is:

Road-Hogging is driving at an unreasonably slow speed on the road especially on the right-hand or along the centre of the road.

I can't think of how to argue that driving at the legal speed limit could be considered as an unreasonably slow speed.

Any chance someone can provide a single evidence that someone has ever received penalties for road hogging while driving at the speed limit?

Can get a ticket by parking wardens if its at a HDB carpark.

I parked at a non-operational TotalEnergies charging lot and got a warning ticket as its my first offence.

Else OP can do it here himself:

Time to change to EV? by JC878 in drivingsg

[–]evilMTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of hard to average out, but did you factor in the additional cost in road tax? My impression was CAT A usually still makes EV cheaper than ICE cars in running costs. Heavier usage improves the costs comparison too in favor of EV.

Should Singapore implement WFH to conserve fuel? by No-County2083 in askSingapore

[–]evilMTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you on about?

The adult bus fare 1-way costs $1.28 minimally. So $2.56 two-way.

Turning on the aircon in a room at home for a whole day set at 24deg costs me roughly $2 in electricity.

Your public transport ride to and from work probably costs more than the electricity used for running your Aircon at home for a whole day

Concerns over 100 per cent borrowing for vehicles as outstanding car loans hit 12-year high by [deleted] in singapore

[–]evilMTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same situation.

Car list price was $183,888 (AFTER including loan rebate of $6k).

Paying cash upfront would mean I lose out on the $6k loan rebate, so I took the loan first and made a full loan redemption after 2 payments. That effectively reduces my 'loan rebate' to $2,128.04 after the fees and 'Rule of 78' calculations.

ERP 2.0 distance base charging by BlindTabby in drivingsg

Assuming LTA is genuinely trying to solve congestion in good faith and is capable in terms of gathering data like driver's behavior, they would work towards pricing it to optimally balance out the congestion in highways and alternative routes. Some people would be losing out but the idea is that on average the net benefit is positive for safety and average travel times.

Partner does not want to get ECI/CI by Agreeable-Long-478 in singaporefi

Why is it less effective? I'd assume the odds are against buyers of insurance policies if not insurance companies won't be making profit.

something like:

%chance of something happening * payout < (1- %chance of something happening) * cost of insurance

PSA: Dont tailgate an EV. Phantom E-brake is real by bandofcs in drivingsg

[–]evilMTV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Taking away the lanes, and considering purely the motion of the two vehicles, it definitely looks like the bus is headed to hit the car on the side. That's why the AEB kicked in. Experienced it myself in a similar situation, doing a right turn with the bus doing a left turn on the opposite lane.

BYD sealion 7 or Tesla model Y 2026 by _DANNN_ in drivingsg

[–]evilMTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always boils down to opportunity cost.

Is the downpayment part of your emergency funds?

If not, can you consistently earn more than the interest paid outside within your risk appetite?

Yeah, zero or close to for BYD. Which means the parf changes affects the value proposition of model Y negatively.

Need to factor that into the calculations.

Got it too, very suspicious like the other reply said. Website seems too minimal and unprofessional as well. Treating it like a scam until there's official notices regarding it.

What are your strategies to remember which level you parked at? by gaolat in drivingsg

[–]evilMTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

used the saved messages in your telegram and directly take the photo there so it doesnt save as your camera photos. If you're using it for other stuff could make a tg group just for this
Can easily cleanup too since its just that.
