Rain...

For the whole of last week, without fail I will get drenched. Managed to avoid the rain on weekends but I'm wet again today. Yes, this is the life of a biker. Given a choice, I will still choose to ride (without my delicate delicacy should it rain, that is). Even though it is dangerous to ride in the rain, I personally feel that it is even more so when the rain stops but the road is still wet. Because that is the time when cars start speeding. Most drivers will be more cautious when it's raining but not so when the sky is clear.

Sad to say, plenty of Singapore drivers are inconsiderate & incorrigible to the core. Not that it is mandatory for them to give way to bikers, but shouldn't they just be a little more patient & forgiving towards us riders? It is only natural that two wheelers will tend to travel a little slower while negotiating a bend on wet road conditions. Is there really a need to tailgate & flash headlights? And don't even get me started on the Premier taxis. They are the true road bullies! Our neighbouring country produces better quality drivers. At the very least they will give way.

haiz..
Sad to say the drivers in SG are super inconsiderate.. If they were considerate, they wont have done so many shitty acts.. High beam, horn for no fiaking reason, overtake racklessly without considering the ppl around them..
But we cant say riders are good too as we experience 2 shitty riders last wk.. Overtaking dangerously on our left, hiding behind our blind spot.. what the hell.. gosh..
Why cant the ppl be more considerate?
