      Pauses and admires as the Ferrari zooms out of sight ...

      Zoom??? Haha at 90km/hour. Frankly.... their ferrari is only for show and not for zooming due to our speed limit.

        It is an accident camera that is usually hung under the mirror. Auto recording. Usually only replayed in an accident to see if people cut your lane or didnt signal etc etc...


        Actually, pedestrians have to be really careful. After i started driving, then i do realise that even as a slow driver, there are times where cars / people are in your blind spot. Most scary is where impatient drivers want to cut u from behind when u are actually slowing down because u saw a pedestrian crossing in front of u.
        Another dangerous road users are cyclist. At zebra crossing, they would just cycle past without stopping to check the traffic. How dangerous..... as sometimes driver cannot stop in time.

          Especially those driving posh or expensive continental cars like BMW. They think they own the road as well and totally disregard for pedestrian on the roads. They really have ego problem.

          🤷 Why must people generalise like that?

          Because I live to tell you this. I encountered so many instances myself so I can say this. Come to parking, anywhere, their mentality is the same.[/quote]So you have encountered every single continental car driver.

            Maybe we should send all cyclists to learn traffic rules and must have a license to cycle before they are allowed to be on the road .

              We can be safe drivers but if the drivers/motorists/cyslists around us are reckless… well… how safe can we be then ?

                  I think you also got ego problem ..... negative side ...... why only BMW ? How about the WRX, the Kia Koup ? all the boy racers wannabes ?

                  by over generalisation, you betray your own mentality on this issue

                    Yes agreed with you. This is the worst of all. Worse than those who walk and talk or make phone calls. Sometimes they even stare at the drivers. They don't realise that bicycles are not allowed across these pedestrians crossings and they are suppose to get off the bike and push/walk across.

                      and this is what i saw -- an angmo was jogging on the road - in the middle of the lane, got pavement don't use - got honked by motorist and got angry and hammer the car with his fists. .... and another cyclist, crossing road against traffic rule and nearlt banged into a car, got honked, got angry, came down from bike, lift up his bike and threw his bike at the car .....

                      they are just instigating road rage ........

It was so sudden that my DH jammed on the breaks, causing a motorbike ridden by an old uncle behind us to bump into our car. The poor old uncle fell down from the motorbike and suffered some scratches on his arm. The cyclist was long gone. :mad:
