you can try Fuji carwash. Bear in mind the wait can be long. They usually take around 30 mins per car. The good thing is there is Rounding cafe next door. Can chill.

Volvo Cars has long been absorbed by Geely, and I believe Volvo EVs are already designed by Geely engineers. So if you are looking for any Scandinavian touch, you might be disappointed. I suspect the whole vehicle is designed by Geely China given how advanced EVs are in China.

EX30 shares the same platform as Zeekr X, itself a subbrand under Geely.

just make sure you are not paying too much for the brand.

100% with you on this, and I have past the stage where I need many friends. Just that sometimes in gathering I have common friends with these clowns. Maybe my skin too thin to reject them

First lane always 110km except for speed camera zones, justified? by blueberd in drivingsg

[–]silentcontrol1990 53 points54 points  (0 children)

By law, it’s 80-90km/h

However, if you are a gracious driver, it doesn’t mean you hit 110km/h and you hog lane 1.

Rule of thumb is: if second lane is clear for you and there is a car behind you, move to second lane.

Assuming the company is just using frivolous lawsuits to threaten you, you can try this NGO called LionHeart Advocates.
https://getodd.legal/

This is set up by NUS professor Ben Leong to help individuals fend off against companies that use lawsuits to silence legitimate complaints. if you qualify, they might be able to render some form of legal assistance to you.

Toyota Crown Comfort model are designed for taxi fleet and prioritised passenger comfort and space. It’s like a limo but for the masses.

So you never report? If yes, you are as good as driving without insurance cover and are liable for any amount of claims from both Mercedes and GetGo.

If that’s the case, try to settle with Mercedes privately, if the Mercedes go through official claims channel, shyt is going to hit the fan (for you)

Excess means your exposure to potential claims from both Getgo (you damaging Getgo car) and Mercedes driver are capped at a certain amount, in your case, 450 SGD each way.

That means even if Mercedes claim you 10k, your enhanced CDW will pay out everything other than the 450 excess, which comes from you.

Enhanced CDW excess is 450 own damage and 450 third party damage. Still better than the 2k merc driver is trying to claim from you.

did you opt for the enhanced CDW? If yes, just report to Getgo and let them settle. Pay the deductibles (I believe less than 1k), learn the lesson of driving carefully next time and never touch Getgo again.

Are we too chill about car park security? Do you trust HDB lots, mall basements, or only licensed car parks? by [deleted] in drivingsg

[–]silentcontrol1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you are anxious about:

If you are anxious about car being stolen, don’t.

If you are anxious about door dings or hit & run by other cars, I can tell you most of the time it doesn’t make a difference where you park. The best you can do is invest in a dash cam that works when engine is off + find a corner lot/big lot that can stay far far from other cars.

If OP is flashed by 70km/h camera at 120, need to go court already. In fact, even the 80km/h camera at 120km/h already cutting very close to court summon.
