Drivers in Singapore are governed by the Road Traffic Act. And in a particular section of the Act (S. 65B), drivers are warned against using using telecommunication equipment whilst driving. Reading the Act carefully, you will notice 3 conditions (I hope I’m right) that must be fulfilled before you can be charged with driving while [...]

Then ‘green mist’ (from Chronicles of Narnia, the voyager thingy) has invaded my life. When I saw this on the road, I was super tempted lah. It looks so so good. He was behind me, and I immediately stopped the car (safely of course) to take this picture. Sadly, he drove away too quickly (or [...]

A common occurrence, so don’t flame this driver only. He was just suay (unfortunate) enough to ‘appear’ in this video that has been submitted to the relevant authorities. Along Ubi Ave 2, there is only ONE traffic signal-controlled Right-Hand-Turn lane into Ubi Rd 1. However, on a daily basis, inconsiderate drivers create their own turn-right [...]

I always go ‘ah’ and ‘wow’ when I see nice clouds or clear blue skies in Malaysia. With no assignments to complete or deadlines to meet, I normally have loads of time to stare out the window of the hotel, resort, or country club in Malaysia to enjoy the scenery. Why pay more to go [...]

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) extends the Mandatory Give Way to Buses Scheme to 29 additional bus bays. With this extension, there will be a total of 202 bus-bays island-wide under this scheme. The full list of bus stops affected (or infected) by this scheme can be found here. Okay, I am not going to type Mandatory Give Way [...]
Electronic Road Pricing: Justifications

Reading the Straits Times article a day ago, I was quite amused that the rationale given for the increase in the rates. Asked by Madam Cynthia Phua if the review should reflect the higher traffic due to population growth, Mr Lim said this is not prudent as the optimal speed ranges are determined based on [...]
coz we seriously hate exams

The scale models v. the actual monster. We should have totally bought the RC version of the comfort cab (29 bucks @ Toys ‘r’ us). It would be much cuter that way. So, what do you get if you give 3 car-lovers in the midst of studying for the exams 3 Remote-Control cars. You get [...]

Update (5oct2010): There are too many articles to compile, thus please click here to have your daily dose of heavy-vehicles nonsense. Source: last accessed – 21mar2010 I am getting more & more fed-up with those slow-poke drivers (especially vans, trucks) who drive in the right lane at a slow speed. Even their pick-up from a [...]
