I've been a responsible driver on the road for almost a yr now and i feel that the time is nigh to pen down what constitutes a responsible driver as well as what you should do in the event that such circumstances were to occur.

1) When changing lanes, do not signal early in advance as other motorists in that particular lane will, upon seeing the signal, activate their turbo engines making it hard for you to slot in. Instead, signal just before an opportune moment and execute the action immediately. By doing so, other motorists can't accuse u of not signalling during the changing of lanes yet at the same time, achieve your initial objective.

2) When an idiot is driving at 80km/hr or slower in front of u on the rightest lane of the expressway, hold down the horn and activate your high beam on him. If he refuses to budge, tailgate him. If all else fails, change lane and overtake him while having the courtesy of showing him your longest finger.

3) When an errant driver dangerously cuts into your lane without signalling, hold down the horn, activate your high beam all the way while tailgating him. Try your best not to let any cars intercept your beam of light meant to discipline the errant driver in front of u.

4) When a bugger's tailgating you even when your speedometer hits 120km/hr on the overtaking lane, release the accelerator and brake gradually while staying on the same lane. This will slow your car down and annoy the driver behind extremely. After doing so for some time, by all means give way to him, but once he has driven past u, return to the same lane and make sure you're just behind him. Turn on the high beam and tailgate him until your designated exit. Damn shiok i tell u.

5) When u see an loser signalling his intentions early to cut into your lane, speed up such that the gap between u and the car in front is minimal.

6) When you're in a hurry, make use of all the lanes available on the expressway and weave in and out of the traffic as u please, overtaking all the cars possible.

7) When you execute a change of lane dangerously and the car behind you turns on the high beam on you, do not panic. Let him go ahead of you and slot in behind him. Return your high beam to show that u understand the joy of giving.

8) Be courteous. I can't emphasize more on how important courtesy is to a responsible driver. Have the courtesy of showing errant drivers the finger to show your displeasure as and when your finger itches.


Be a responsible driver. Do the right thing. I am one, are u?
