Update~

On hindsight, i think it's rather remarkable that i found myself transiting from a World of L Plates to real world driving in a matter of one magical day-22nd of June. I still remember those endless days of droning around in an underpowered car, getting honked at and also having to endure charbos overtaking moi. It seems as if getting a licence was a faraway fixture in my life. Now here I am, driving around for nearly 2 months on a brightly coated Triangle...

I am proud to say that i have grown increasingly better as i clock longer hours in driving. Looking back, i wonder why I viewed lane changing with fear in the past when it seems to be so darn easy now in a traffic chocked street. I have heard endless stories of P Platers being bullied on the roads. * Smiles...

I am glad to say that i have been blessed to be spared so far from any of those ordeals save for an occasional high beam and tailgating. Yet despite saying this, I can't restrain my anger in voicing my displeasure over what transpired on Saturday.

It was around 8.30pm bordering on 9pm and i was on the CTE(SLE) stretch preparing to head for the Yishun exit. Like i always did, i checked my mirrors dutifully and changed to the extreme left lane which was the right thing to do. You know lane discipline yada yada. Then from nowhere this red roti-chia (let's abbreviate this to RRC) appear at my rear. And it was getting darn close till i can make out the ox's face.

For safety reasons i quickly filtered to the right lane of the Yishun exit ramp to rid myself of this stinking mule. No... he followed dutifully like a beast of burden. And he stayed darn close. Bloody hell, was he relishing the prospect of smelling my car's fart? For heaven's sake, we were nearing the S bend on the ramp. What was he thinking about to stick his filthy car near my car's ass?? And so i was forced not to brake while i drove down the ramp. Mind you, the ramp was supposed to be navigated at 50km/h and because of this fiend, i had to traipse the S Course ramp at a high speed.(Kid you not) What the hell was he trying to do by putting lives on the line? I WAS DRIVING MY FAMILY IN THE CAR FOR GOODNESS'S SAKE!!!

And that sucker was just driving a worthless Hyundai Matrix. You can pull any stunt on me and I accept it grudgingly cos this might be part of the slew of road tricks that P-Platers have to learn to stomach in their 1 year stint. BUT YOU DON'T MUCK AROUND WHEN MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT SAKE YOU UNDERSTAND, YOU SLIMY LARDBALL LACED WITH PISS!!! As if it wasn't enough, he had the decency to slice sharply into my lane upon entering Lentor Avenue, causing me to slam on my brakes while making sure the vehicle behind me had a safety clearance. THAT WAS ENOUGH...

I flicked my highbeam and horned him as if the Mardi Gras was at Lentor that evening. And fyi folks... THAT SLAB OF DETRITUS had his family in his car as well! WHAT WAS HE THINKING? Are the lives of his family not important as well???

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID RRC...
