Mobile Phone & Driving

It's supposed to be illegal in Singapore but so many people is still doing it.

Juzt now, @ a junction of Upper Paya Lebar & Serangoon road.
Saw this 4489...
Well, see it for yourself.
It was @ a red light on my direction when I took this...
*Luckily, the 810's start up is quite fast.

Shopping Center Parking

Some parking places are a real nightmare...

These are some picts taken @ Orchard Plaza's car park.

*The slop down this car park is "quite" steep.
Imagine me @ the gentry with my 300kg bike stuck coz they don't allow bikes.
How am I supposed to "push" my bike out?

Also note how far the barrier reaches to the wall?

What would you do??

Traffic Control

I exiting from CTE @ AMK Ave 1.

The exit was 3 lanes (towards boundry road), and...
The Firetruck took 1 lane, there was a "mini cone" on the second... and everyone was supposed to use the last lane.

And the guy in white was more like "inspecting" the Fireman's work than controlling the traffic.
*I dun see him wearing his yellow "signaling" gloves
Imagine the chaos, 3 lanes merging into 1 turning lane without anyone controlling traffic.

Well, this was what I saw...

To park or not to park

Some of the bike lots are so tiny that they can hardly fit a normal 200cc bike... and 1 or 2 of my previous bikes were "knocked" down coz some of these drivers were too... sigh..

What do you think, will you park if you were me?
*I am parking very close to the other bike lot.

Parking Inconsiderates

I rest my case.

If he had parked further right, the bikers would have more place to move to the parking lot.

Parking Inconsiderates... that pissed me off...

A couple of posts ago, I mentioned that I was going to send those picts to the authorities and have considered forgetting about it...

But today, about 30mins ago, there was this other car... parked in a spot that he was not supposed to, but I did not bother as I needed to take something from my bike...

Not too long later, the driver came... was a Ah Beng in his mid 40s or 50s.

Nicely, I told him "Sorry Mr, this is not a parking lot".
Guess what he said?
"So? Why cannot issit??"

Fine... Maybe I shall help the authorities with alittle of their work.

For all bikers, here's a part of the letter that the authorities email me that may be useful to you.

---------
Should you wish to feedback any illegal parking in future, please feel free to call our Car Park Enforcement hotline at 1800-2721409 (24hrs) so that the Enforcement Officer could issue a NOPO on the spot.
------------

Here's a hint, if you wanna do something about it, take a picture of the offense yourself then sent the pict to HDB. But then they will require you to complete a form which will provide your details and also agree that you will agree to testify if the offender were to dispute.

But if you have the pict with you, then there is no basis for them to dispute is there??

Parking Inconsiderates again

The driver came not long after I took this pict and I reminded that this was a motorcycle lot and he said, sorry... no lots... ya right... he was driving a van, he was moving good, further on the left of this pict was actually a loading & unloading lot...

Duh......
