Driving

I think I have motor skills problem. I don't seem to have the ability to coordinate my hands, eyes and legs. Always worrying about the clutch cause me to forget about the foot brake. Looking at the mirror cause me to forget that I'm in the wrong gear. Everything is not smooth at all. This lead me to recall an advertisement by Gold 90.5FM about only hearing the good stuff. In the advert, the girl apparently cannot drive but only listens to all the 'good stuff' while blocking off the reality. Well, for me, I don't have the ability to shut thing out though the instructor never really criticise me badly, just said I needed practice. Still I feel I ought to do better. It's pretty frustrating when you want to practice but there is a lcak of opportunity. Anyway, on to the next relevant sub-topic.
Are cars really needed in Singapore? Without touching on pollution, whcih by the way is a serious threat to the environment, the transport system in Singapore is pretty good. Despite the spiking of prices for taxis and less recently, buses, most Singaporeans will agree that public transport is affordable and efficient. The fact that Singapore is not really a big country probably contributes to the efficiency. MRTs can take you almost everywhere without the hassle of traffic jams. Buses have bus lanes during the peak hours. Taxis bring you to the doorstep of your destination. Overall, I must say that public transport is a very good option for travelling. Yet, many people in Singapore still purchase cars. Some buy them because everyone has one. Not a good reason. Others buy them so that they do need to rely on publi transport. Better, but due to the efficiency of public transport therefore still lacking. Another group buy them because they have a family. This is probably the only good reason I can think of when buying a car. It's definitely a plus when you have a family since public transport may pose a problem due to family size. That's all I have to say for today. Till next time may brilliance arrive to those who seek it!
