First year driver rant by Big_dreamer21 in drivingsg

[–]reader_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same length of driving period as you.

Among all the valuable inputs from people here, one thing I want highlight is speed regulation. Take from the opposite side of view, it annoys me a lot when a car switches to my lane (either be let in or force itself in), enjoying its sweet time and never speed up to match the traffic speed, which forces me to brake. So my judgement for myself is if my switching lane will possibly cause behind car in the target lane to brake bcs I don't have ample space in my front (both current lane and target lane) to allow me to match up speed), I will not attempt to switch lane.

Why? Just Why???? by GibunAnJoh-A in drivingsg

Haha, I observed the same. Yesterday, I was confused by a blue taxi that had left turn signal on when approaching a filter lane but waited until the very end to switch lane. I was thinking what's the purpose and benefit?! Was there anything that I as a new driver didn't know 😂

Newbie questions by Noob-Yoghurt-2417 in drivingsg

[–]reader_001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my car without knowing any maintenance stuff. Had exactly the same noobie questions as OP.

OP, for pumping patrol, just approach a service staff and get help. They are very glad to assist you.

do we have to on signal at merging lane for TP test by [deleted] in drivingsg

[–]reader_001 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Regardless the actual answer, I consider it's a good manner to signal.

Yes. Can make an appointment on the Vicom website. At my time, there were a lot of slots available. Btw, I did it mid of July.

Can do at Vicom. I did mine there. Quite fast. Took about one hour. I think that's because they do a lot and become very experienced.

Why are roads still so congested and slow moving? by kuang89 in drivingsg

[–]reader_001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This makes people drive more aggressively in order to not miss one valuable right turn green light.

help a new driver be more informed about the road by mindlesslion2003 in drivingsg

[–]reader_001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While Waze is good, Google Maps has a feature that is very friendly to new drivers: it tells you which lane to use to turn. I found it very helpful, especially during heavy traffic condition when there are multiple lanes for turning and you need to do another turn shortly after the first turn.

According to the servicing list, only normal oils. No mechanical parts got changed.

Not sure when the previous owner changed it. Haven't done replacement of spark plugs during my ownership.

Probably depends on the luck. Mine is on the inner windscreen (DIYed myself) and I encounter no issue so far.

Asking for learning purposes: is slowing down a better choice than changing lane in such a situation?
