Stay on Your Lane Please....

Another quick note...

It upsets me if people (when they are driving a car) change lane while making a turn on an intersection or at a round about. For example, somebody makes turn from the outer lane but while turning, this guy also switch to inner lane cutting every body in the inner lane. First of all, hello, we are not in F1 track, so don't practice your racing line* on public streets. Secondly, those lane markers are made for a purpose, ie to avoid collision. Thirdly, guys, nobody likes being cut in the street, so drive responsibly.

*the shortest distance to go through a track

Just for illustration, below are the right way to negotiate a turn at a round about, please also note when and how we should indicate the turn signal correctly, courtesy of NZ transport agency :

Don't Turn On Your Hazard Signal Please....

Guys,

Just a quick note. Whenever we are driving a car and we want to go straight at an road intersection with no traffic light, please do not turn on the hazard signal as our "sign" to go straight. We will just confuse other people coming from the right and the left of the intersection. They will not be able to see that we are actually turn on the hazard signal. What they can see is just a turn signal going to their direction, but in reality we are going to go straight.

If we are unlucky, this may cause an accident. So please don't use it...
