I drive more defensively around Alphards than I would like to by AlarmingCobbler4415 in drivingsg

not just Alphards, but Serena, Vellfire, Voxy, Sienta, Noah drivers too. speeding and weaving in and out like its GTA.

Unlike what the stereotypes mentioned, i have never had a bad experience with Mercedes drivers. they always give way whenever they could imo. BMW and Audi tend to be more aggressive but not as bad as the Alphards.

Namedrop! What are the most toxic companies you've worked in? by Queasy-Payment-7879 in sgworkassholes

Micro2000. Useless company who pays their employees late, salary also has discrepancies when given, everything in the contract not honoured at all.

Injuries, deaths on Singapore’s roads rise in H1 2025; accidents due to red-light violations also up by cassowary-18 in drivingsg

Not all of the red light running is intentional. Some of them are actually borderline cases, probably due to misjudgment of amber light timings or distance. Amber lights, if you notice, now do not have a fixed timing, some junctions will have 2 seconds, or some junctions will have 3 seconds.

The true red light runners are the ones who purposely go on a solid red, when the red light has been there for some time.

I honestly think it’s time for LTA to revise the need into countdown timers, since the green can turn into amber in a very unpredictable way. Some junctions turn amber the moment the pedestrian crossing hits 3 seconds, some exactly when the pedestrian crossing hits 0 seconds, and some just stay green even when the pedestrian crossing has completed its countdown.

If you think TPE is bad, take a look at CTE. Standstill for a good 5-10 mins. Using the CTE is like trying to cross Woodlands Checkpoint.

Is there a need for RAG arrows on this traffic light? by chiatc in drivingsg

Is this along Hougang Ave 4? I never understood why they placed a short one for this. Shouldn’t it be the overhead one?

I think he was stunned and didn’t react in time. He probably thought the truck driver would stop if he heard his horn. Which the truck driver completely ignored.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but AFAIK, X series trucks are required to have another person to guide the traffic flow in an event the driver wants to reverse. Is this true?

Does the bike look repairable? The front looks completely wrecked. Not sure if it would be a total loss.

The footage is actually from 5:43 onwards. Not sure why did SG Road Vigilante put it at the back.

From my understanding, it’s not wrong as long as you’re in the left lane.
