Planning a trip to Singapore?

For those of you who are planning to visit Singapore and rent a car for your trip, here are 10 pointers to help you prepare for your adventure on our roads.

1. Pack anxiety/stress relief pills.
2. Indicating your intention to move into the lane on the right = being cut off by the car behind.
3. The road 8meter sq enveloping the travelling vehicle of a Singaporean also belongs to him. He has paid for it and it follows his vehicle. Any intention to trespass will result in undesirable events.
4. Road courtesy belongs in the same category as T-Rex, Santa Claus and Unicorns.
5. Should you be held up in a traffic congestion, do not attempt to switch lanes, leave that job to the Unicorns.
6. "Beep" = We're taking your money.
7. Most of our cars here are fitted with 10kg led weights on our indicator levers. It may take a while for a driver to indicate his/her intention or it may not happen (finger injuries are common and will result in the lack of indication).
8. Having a friendly conversation in your car is of utmost importance and can precede holding up traffic on any highway. We take our communication very seriously.
9. Everyone is in a hurry because any form of relaxation invites insults from colleagues, bosses and authorities. You are a tourist, our matters are more important. Please give way.
10. Your engine is not catching fire, it is that hot in Singapore.
