Happy New Year, y’all! It’s been a while since I’ve updated. I know, it’s entirely my fault for neglecting updates on Singcarpore. But, life happens. Yes, that’s another excuse. Why can’t I stop making ’em? No, I don’t make excuses.

Respect the truck drivers
I want to talk about truck, van, lorry, and heavy goods vehicles. Before that, let us all rise and give their drivers a standing ovation.
As if driving a car isn’t difficult already, with e-scooters, bikes, bicycles, random pedestrians, children dashing across the roads, insurance scammers and all manner of roadly activities happening–truck drivers are a different breed altogether.

How to scrap your car in Singapore
It’s that time of the month. No, not that time. That time! It’s time to scrap your car. Let Singcarpore show you how it’s done. The process is painless.

Besides, you are not earning the salary of a minister.
Mobile Phone Windshield Holder
Using a phone while driving is illegal and dangerous in Singapore. How then, do we look at the GPS on our phones?
Easy.
Stick a holder onto the windshield. It typically secures your phone in place by the sides while it cradles the bottom. The holder is attached either to the windshield or dashboard. Most models mount to the windows but are able to mount to your surface of your dashboard too.

So, where do we start? What do we do? How does one go about purchasing a used car exactly? Is it simply a mere act of waltzing down the car parks and pasting a note onto a car’s windshield with your offer of purchase when you spot a car you fancy?
