Each year it seems to take less time to fly across the ocean and longer to drive to work - Author Unknown

I've managed to fine tune the daily drive to work with the precision of a fastidious impatient maniac. a.k.a. a "Singapore driver".

1. Follow road out past the traffic light and turn right

2. Keep to the right-most lane for the next 3 traffic lights
- 4-lane road mergers on the left to become a 2+ 1 bus lane, so right lane is fastest
- Right-most lane will split into 2 lanes after 3rd traffic light

4. Keep to left lane (aka new 2nd-right lane) when right-most lane splits into 2
- Many cars will turn right to enter another major road and hold up traffic while waiting to turn

5. Cut back to right-most lane after exit junction and maintain for next 2 traffic lights

6. Keep to middle lane (aka new 2nd-right lane) as right-most lane splits into 3 lanes, and turn left
- Left lane will have buses stopping alone the road, Right lane will be difficult to exit roundabout correctly

7. Exit roundabout, keep left, keep left, keep left and turn left

8. Keep to 3rd-left lane for next 2 traffic lights
- Left-most lane is bus lane, 2nd-left lane has cars turning left

9. Cut to 2nd-left lane after traffic light where other cars turn left

10. Cut to left-most lane after bus stop and turn left into 2-lane road

11. If cars turning right into a carpark, cut left then cut right immediately
- Other cars are sometimes parked/ waiting in left lane

12. Turn right into destination
