Here's an excerpt of an email from this morning, suitably censored for public consumption:
Drivers in Singapore are such *** pieces of ***. Robots. Inconsiderate ***. I got on the CTE as usual and it was really jammed at least until Balestier and also behind me (before my on-ramp). Happens sometimes but only for a few hundred metres before clearing up. This time it was like this all the way to the CBD exit at Havelock Road. Ok, at least I could move at 40-50 km/h on my bike past near-stationary cars, but I couldn't work out why it was so jammed. Come out onto Havelock Road and it's even worse. Looked like Bangkok. This is 7 km from the start of my journey! I thought there must be some major problem like a lane closure or something. Keep going, don't see anything. Finally got to Raffles Place, just at the junction with Shenton Way, and I find there's been a minor collision between two cars. No injuries, no great damage even. But the *** *** just *** sit there and create a giant *** traffic jam for the rest of the world during peak hour. The rules are quite clear that if there are no injuries, you must move your vehicle so you don't obstruct other traffic. What's worse is, no one sees this as a problem. The police should be issuing gigantic traffic fines whenever this happens (and it happens quite a bit). People should be yelling at the numbskulls. None of this happens, as far as I know.
Robots was the funniest expletive because it's so true!
