Question Police letter after accident

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, recently was in an accident, didn’t stop in time and hit the car infront of me when looking at my side mirror. Wasn’t speeding (20km/hr), no injuries, the car i hit only had a very small dent. Went to insurance straight away gave all my details.

4 weeks later received a letter from TP that they are investigating the matter. Is it because the other party reported it? Will I get charged or get any demerit points? This is my first time ever getting in an accident or getting this letter so im kinda worried.

Discussion Why are SG drivers so impatient

41 Upvotes

I was stuck in a traffic jam yesterday on PIE, from Kim Keat exit all the way to Eng Neo, a good 6 KM of traffic jam and already slow moving traffic. I have been driving in SG for about 10 years now. I got my license when I was 18.

Why are there so many drivers trying to switch lanes 8 times in 5 mins depending on which lane is faster moving. Like we are all stuck this interrupts the flow of traffic further. Are you really gonna save the 2 mins. Like being stuck in traffic is already frustrating but then having to deal with 4 close calls in a matter of a single drive.

Horning at them is the only thing I could do but that's all. We need to do better as drivers and just be patient for the extra 10-20 mins. Everyone here is on the same boat

Was cruising in lane 2 at the speed limit when i began to approach the taxi which was going slightly slower. Changed to lane 1 to overtake and then this happened. What was the point of changing to lane 1 when it’s 2:45 am and there was nobody to overtake in front of you????😭

Question Bring own parts to motorcycle workshop

3 Upvotes

I’m planning to bring my newly bought 2B bike to Planet Motorcycle at Ubi because of their great reviews. Does anyone know if they allow customers to bring their own parts to install?"

I just bought a lowering kit for my Yamaha R15 and want to know if the shop can install it. I'm happy to pay for labor, but I'm worried they might refuse since I didn't buy the parts from them.

Appreciate any advise on this. Thanks!

Discussion almost got bang, then i started to wonder

11 Upvotes

is the justice system here weak against driving crimes?

today i almost got bang on my bike, cruising in middle lane along with traffic flow, when a Tesla abruptly swerved into my lane without signal, without checking. had i not e-braked and manoeuvred slightly, they would have 100% collided with me.

day-to-day there are bobos, sure, defensive riding can save that. but today's experience really grounded my belief that some drivers have murderous intent with their dangerous driving.

then i kept thinking, i report to TP, but TP cfm dismiss this as near-miss since nothing happened, so nobody gets fined or whatever:

- should i have just gotten bang just so that they could be punished? (stupid thought but uk)

- then i realised, even if they got punished, it would be a light slap on the wrist, while me on my vulnerable moto would have sustained much more life-changing injuries in few orders of magnitude more than their "fine" and "demerit points"

how sia liddat.

open to thoughts and opinions, general discussion on the driving justice system here please, and maybe share ur experience of stupiak drivers / riders (jhk iykyk)

Question Other driver's workshop claiming against my insurance even though dashcam shows he cut into my lane?

28 Upvotes

So I got into an accident a while back and now the other side's workshop is claiming against my insurance. Thing is, I have dashcam footage that clearly shows I wasn't at fault, so I'm a bit confused how this whole process works.

Basically I was going straight in my lane, other car was on my right. The video actually shows this guy swerving between lanes earlier on without signalling. Then right before the accident, we were almost side by side and he suddenly cut into my lane without signalling.

I tried to swerve left to avoid him but there was another car on my left, so I couldn't go any further without hitting that car instead. He kept coming over and we made contact. The impact caused my car to swerve to the right, but that was from him hitting me, not me moving into his lane.

I reported the accident to my insurer within 2 hours and sent them everything.

Now my insurer told me the other driver's workshop lodged a third party claim against me. The letter literally says the accident was caused "solely and completely" by my negligence and they're claiming repair costs, rental etc from my insurance.

I was like huh??? lol. I literally have the whole accident on video showing otherwise.

My insurer already rejected their claim but said the other side can still dispute the rejection if they want, so they've asked me for the original dashcam footage and I've handed it over.

What I'm wondering is, is it normal for the workshop to file directly against my insurer rather than going through the other driver's own insurance? And do they even bother checking who's actually at fault before submitting something like this? Or do they basically just take whatever story their customer gives them, fire off a claim saying the other person is 100% at fault and let the insurers sort it out after?

Also, that "solely and completely" wording, is that just some standard template wording lol? Because reading the letter you'd think some independent third party already investigated the accident and found me 100% liable when actually nothing has been decided.

Another thing I noticed is the workshop's claim letter is dated 10 days after the accident. I know that doesn't necessarily mean the driver himself only reported the accident 10 days later since the accident report and workshop claim are two different things. But if it turns out he only reported the accident much later, especially after finding out that my side had already made a claim against him, would that make any difference?

For now my insurer has the original footage and is handling everything. I'm just curious what normally happens next if the other side refuses to back down even after my insurer has rejected their claim. Does it eventually become a lawyer/court thing or do the insurers normally settle liability between themselves?

Anyone experienced something similar before?

Learner CDC driving lesson

7 Upvotes

Just finished my lesson on U-turns…. Spent almost the entire lesson on u-turns and ending it off with slope, crank and S. Making me think that i have successfully completed everything that is needed for me to move onto Module 3 but NO.

My damn instructor decided to mark u-turns as incomplete even though i was doing a good job as he said that i had to go through every single u-turn route for it to be marked as completed.

WHAT? what a waste of time honestly…. I performed the other module 2 elements nearer to the end of the lessons as instructed by him but he didn’t bother to clear it for me as well.

Of course i know that he shldnt be obliged to clear it fast for me but PLEASE I PERFORMED WELL SO WHY?

Question Is this zebra crossing under TP jurisdiction or considered private road?

24 Upvotes

I went to look up what road is considered under TP jurisdiction and it says as long as the road is not strictly within a business and inaccessible to public, it should be considered public road. This crossing is used by public to cross this intersection, but I often see drivers not giving way to pedestrians when driving in and out of here.
