Quote from: sligo on September 04, 2018, 02:27:53 pmI get sick of drivers driving 1 metre behind my car, and flashing lights to make me move, because there is a car in the adjacent lane. This basically means i cannot hit my brakes, as the **** behind me will plow into me. What gives him the right to demand i move for him? Why should i drive at an unsafe speed just because he wants to pass?What is the context for this? If you're driving adjacent another car at the same speed, and you're in the passing lane, then you are in the wrong. The same if you're driving slightly faster than vehicles in the slower lane and never pulling in to let faster vehicles pass.

Why? If they want to overtake, do it on the left not the right!

There are passing lanes and slower lanes, just like in western countries. Unfortunately, people don't use passing lanes properly in Korea, and instead hold long lines of cars up because they think they're special.Here's some useful info on how to drive on the expressway in Korea. It explains how to use passing lanes. https://www.koroad.or.kr/en_web/view/drvGuide3.do
Sorry, but I learned to drive from scratch here,

Are you as bad at driving as every other cretin on the roads here?How do you define "bad"? I have enough awareness to pull over to the right when someone needs to pass me at a higher speed, but that situation doesn't occur too often.

I have enough awareness to pull over to the right when someone needs to pass me at a higher speed, but that situation doesn't occur too often. A lot of @ssholes on the highway will drive up to you at speed, way beyond the speed limit and rather than wait for you to move they will attempt to pass from the other lane and then cut back to your lane causing you to hit the brakes.Sometimes, you can't pull over because there happens to be slower vehicles in the other lane but the @ssholes think they can weave in and out like F1 drivers causing a dangerous situation.My theory to makes Koreans more careful at driving is to make them all drive manuals. Automatics make it too easy to be a shitier driver than they already are.

Martin, you do not drive in Korea. Therefore you have no point of reference here. So stop commenting on stuff you clearly have NO idea about. Again.

Do it. If you don't I'll never believe that you drive in Korea. In fact at this point I don't think you even can drive. You never learned did you Martin?And you know what? You are going to have to learn "from scratch" in Korea, ala Stillinkorea. And you know what he does? He drives a Japanese car and puts traffic cones around it when he parks it. So you've got quite a future ahead of you old boy. Post a goddamn picture of yourself doing the thumbs up. Do it now. Don't disappoint me or your other waygook friends. You know Martin's not old enough to drive.

If people are honking at you when you're holding up traffic in the fast lane, you are in the wrong.The reason people undertake is because too many people drive slowly in the fast lane. The worst offenders are middle aged men driving pickups and women chatting on their phone with no awareness of a world outside their own head.

Anyways, I don't have to prove shit to you. OP thinks I don't drive in Korea because I haven't described driving in Korea in the most hysterical, over-the-top terms possible.

You think you are going to be doxxed? This community isn't that way. Once I posted my pic and you know what I received? Baskets of muffins. That's right. Several waygook users tracked down my details from my pic and sent me gift baskets. I can't subscribe to your Hobbesian view of humanity, Martin.So again, post your pic, as I instructed. If not I will simply assume you cannot and have not ever driven. Except for the small red tricycle that was purchased for you as a child and bizarrely, if not worryingly, you still use to this day. Yes, he shipped his little red trike over to Korea and only God knows why.You have 24 hours.
