Saw the vid on FB makes me laugh at the car driver
Both bus and car have change lane signals
1] I am 100% sure the car driver can see!Â
Yet he purposely drove into the bus Â
2] When the red light turned green, the bus drove ahead first
So under International Driving law, the bus has the right of way first

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?Â

Most S'poreans always appear to be in a rush to get to their destination. The local driving etiquette and culture seems to include the reckless switching of lanes and queues, inattentiveness and a lack of courtesy i.e. refusing to give way, not waving to show gratitude when drivers give way and not apologising for endangering other road users.

Singaporean mentality and attitude to life, in a nutshell.
Petty, vengeful, entitled, self centered.

Until today I have met so many people who absolutely refuse to say please or thank you or even give compliments. As if their "thank you" are made of gold, if they say already will loogi a lot of money.
Only know how to complain and criticize others. As if by putting others down, it makes them feel better about themselves. Really loser mentality.

In a way we are trained to imitate the miw in Parliament. They teach us no blame culture, ponding, hara kiri, steal their lunch etc. Cannot lose at all cause.

Bus driver seems to be in the wrong, but the car driver is also not gracious.

I have encountered many such people who refuse to say a simple thank you when you hold the door open or give up your seat to them. There are those - especially at work - who believe that they must put you down in order to feel better about themselves or superior to you. These are typically insecure people with poor self-esteem.

Let us not make sweeping generalisations as I have encountered drivers who wave to thank me when I allow them to filter into my lane, even though they are few and far between.
