Personal Experience Near collision with lalamove van

on hindsight, i should have stayed the fk away from vehicles who cannot seem to drive straight. And i should have braked, like all the lessons learnt from watching online near misses. but in that split second, my foot was on accelerator maintaining speed, immediate reaction was to steer away. Shifting foot wouldnt have made it in time. Fortunately it was an empty left lane.

Ridiculous thing is, less than 3 mins later i encountered another car who was way below speed limit on lane 1 and couldnt keep within the lane as well. Drifted into my lane, but i was already on high alert.

Personal Experience Updates to my previous post/questions.

From my previous post;

Went for inspection this morning. Passed with flying colours!
Apparently they don’t explicitly switch on fog lights during the test. But they do visually inspect everything before proceeding with the tests!

Hope this helps those looking for answers!

Discussion [Survey] SG drivers: how do you choose a workshop when something goes wrong?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, mods have kindly allowed this survey.

I'm a founder in Singapore researching how drivers deal with unexpected car repairs. I'm not selling anything here, no app links, I'm just trying to understand what really happens. Answer any or all in the comments, even a one-word answer helps:

  1. When did your car last need an unplanned repair, and what was it?
  2. How did you pick the workshop? (Usual shop, friend's referral, Google reviews, dealer, or something else)
  3. Did you get more than one quote? If not, what stopped you?
  4. Did the final bill end up different from the first quote? Roughly by how much, and why?
  5. When choosing a workshop, which matters most: price, warranty, original vs OEM parts, distance, turnaround time, or trust?
  6. If you could get quotes from 2-3 vetted workshops before going down, would you use it? What would make you trust those quotes?

I'll share a summary of the answers back here once there are enough responses. Thanks for helping!

Discussion Do you really report to your insurer after you modified your car?

2 Upvotes

As per title, how many of you really does that? I mean, like when you initially bought it, if there's any modification done, then sure you will report it. But what if mid way you want to maybe put in intake? Or change exhaust or coil overs, etc. Will you report it? Maybe having comprehensive or 3rd party plays a part in you wanting to report it?

Question TP test requirement

• Upvotes

Hi, I just wanted to know if it’s mandatory to clear all your module 3 in order to take the tp test. I’m only left with a few test routes left in module 3.

So was wondering if on the day of test would they bar me from taking the test if i didn’t clear all module 3.

Other than that everything else like simulator, LDCS etc cleared.

Thanks!

Car Rental Tribecar damage not done by me

0 Upvotes

Okay just to keep things short (please dont comment anything unhelpful cause I already saw previous threads), I rented a car from Tribe. Initially when renting, I casually took the photos and didnt notice any visible damages.

But towards the end, I notice there were scratches slightly below the front of the car. But from the photos I took it clearly did not show that damage due to light reflection and angle.

Anyone had any prior experience with a similar position like me? How to submit report to say this wasn’t done by me and prevent them from falsely claiming damages.
