If its a MyBi, either the car terbalik or trashed into longkang ady. Usually when I drib Mybi, I drib really gently to the extend like makcik go pasar that kind a speed. Instead, I rather enjoy the akon in Mybi. Its not really super duper cool or huge wind, but I felt the wind blown out from the vent just nice & felt natural. Normally when I drib clients Mybi, the only thing I will fiddle is the thermostat. All the way MAX laugh.gif Brake... Where got brake? Stick my foot out use my shoe rubber to brake better than the brake pedal shakehead.gif

Experienced driver in none assisted braking vehicle will have a stronger sense of braking feedback compare to ABS user. The right foot reaction to different level of brake pedal action is much precised then other driver. I however felt overwhelmed by the ABS reaction despite I drove tremendous amount of vehicle in my life. I do believe a person that familiar with ABS, they will rely too much on assistance. As & when ABS not present, the hard pedalling part will contribute to a major disaster due to wheels lock.

I myself a stick & clutch worshiper, driving an auto car the brake pedal is always my concern. I tend to accidentally use my left foot to strike on the brake pedal when my left foot seeking for clutch action. I understand the common sense for driving an auto car the left foot should always glued to the foot rest. That is under normal driving circumstances, but in an unforeseen event, basic instant reaction will kick in subconciously as a result both feet will hit hard on the same pedal.

My point is, a manual driver can drive an auto car with no problem. I believe in an emergency event, the same manual driver will react stupidly on a none ABS automactic vehicle. As for a usual ABS equiped vehicle driver, they'll most probably hit the brake hard and hoping for miracle.

Whether GaGa ABS good or bad, but I have an entirely different perception & understanding of a car's braking capacity since yesterday incident. I drove more carefully today as I travel to work. I pay more attention to my right foot reaction as I'm reaching traffic red light. My press-depress on the brake pedal goes from soft, then stronger force to stop the car rapidly, then gradually release to cut down innertia to avoid vomit. As the car reach a standstill, my right foot automatically press hard to prevent the car rolling forth/backward.

I appreciate our human body was built this way that all the basic reaction was controlled by the other part of the brain's logic thinking. If not for the incident, probably until now I have not realize pressing the brake pedal is another engineering subject. Ayam gonna cut a chicken & burn josstick later, tonight go church find a priest tok kok sing song. Thank God who look after my clumsy arse.

As I drove an automatic with ABS for four years before getting my manual non-ABS Gaga, my left foot doesn't really get itchy for the clutch when I drive an auto nowadays. As I said before I don't have much experience with hard braking, but I do feel that after two and a half years and almost 60k km on my Gaga, I'm quite familiar with the braking feel to allow me to drive as confidently as if I have ABS, though I'm always aware that I don't, especially on wet surfaces. Having said that I still do wished my Gaga has ABS, just in case.

Do bear in mind that the vast majority of Gagas running around (except FLX Exec) don't have ABS hmm.gif

Locked rear wheels = fishtailing. Scary stuff sweat.gif

On the same note, I hear a lot of people say always use the rear brake on a bicycle, because if you pull the front brake you'll fly over the handlebars. What rubbish, I have clocked a few thousand km of road riding and the front brake always work better. In fact I only use the rear brake when I want to pull the bike vertical on its rear wheel and at one point, my bike didn't have rear brakes at all thumbup.gif
That's why I told you last night, the FLX is everything the BLM should have been in the first place. Just too bad we missed it by being a year too early.

i've experienced locked rear wheel on motorcycle, on wet road. it's really a light tap on the brake and slightly uphill.. thankfully i regained control sweat.gif

today also, at federal highway got one indian guy driving saga, i've been following him slowly (100-110kmh) then he move to the middle lane, i speed up but he was racing me and as there's a car in the fast lane, i want to move to the other lane and can't see him, almost hit him. as i speed up to 170 and move ahead there's car in front of me, he might be angry and speed up on the slow lane and cut in front of me. i reflected to left, almost hit him and thank god, left lane is clear, caught up with him while i'm cutting between trailers..

i think i'm being and idiot for excessive honking that blm saga. we exit on the same exit and the traffic light was red, he purposely want to play with me, swaying left right and slow down, brake.. i keep distance.. he wen't out of his car and maki me, showing good and inverted good (bad), show me don't have balls. rclxub.gif

i don't know am i afraid or don't want to cause a mess.. i jz let him be.

my conclusion.. i think i owe him, and i won't honk excessively ever

I always feel the horn can be a provocative tool. Don't use it unless absolutely necessary, only to prevent an accident, and never use it to vent frustration.

170 km/h on the Federal Highway? blink.gif I've only hit that speed once or twice before, and probably never again, at least in my Gaga.

previously i use excessive horn out of anger of what other driver did (dangerous driving) and no one ever did what this guy did to me. so it's a lesson to me.

i'm not always that fast, only today out of that car.. cause normally there's a lot of cars on all lanes especially after shah alam exit before jpj bukit raja exit.

thanks anyway, jz read on the net about preventing roadrage etc

If I drive alone I have a rather bad temper. A few days ago near the toll a Honda honked me out of nowhere and cut infront of me in the queue. Its not like he couldnt use the other lanes, he just thought his time was more important than mine.

i honk kaw him back all the way into the toll booth, then show him the finger in his rear view mirror. After exiting the toll both I chase him down and showed him the finger again as I overtake him.

To be honest it doesnt really make me feel better, but like I said, I am easily provoked when driving alone sleep.gif

You better use some tape to temporarily hold it in place until you get it fixed. Don't want it coming off while you're driving sweat.gif

Wow. I really dunno what to say about that unsure.gif

Maybe you should consider installing a DVR so you can upload and show the idiot's driving on Yiutiub thumbup.gif

For me, my primary motivation of staying cool behind the wheel is to avoid road rage. As long as no physical damage is done, just drive away and let the matter go. No need to provoke the other party into doing unpredictable things.

true. for reminder eg. panggil orang tunggu kereta kita, vehicle in front lupa lampu hijau, just a little tap on horn.

horn kalau tiba-tiba some idiot potong depan kita macam mau kena langgar. to remind them that their act is dangerous, stupid.
