dear Sir/mdm
on the morning of 21st June 2003 i was travelling with my friend in
his vehicle along bras brasah road heading towards suntec city at
about 0130hrs.
We were travelling in the middle lane and somewhere around the arts
museum, a blue color cab (SH6386) came alongside with us on the
left lane, during a bend, he swerved into our lane without any
intention such as signalling nor did he check his blind spot when
he moved out. My friend sounded the horn and applied emergency
brake to avoid hitting him.
The driver then wave some gestures at us and sped away. At the
junction near suntec city, he stopped for the traffic light, we
came alongside with him and he started staring at me, he then
proceed to roll down his windows.
He asked me what is the problem and i explained to him that his
actions just now nearly result in a collision, he then replied that
there construction by the road side in front and WE SHOULD GIVE WAY
TO HIM.
In my opinion, if he would have signaled and gave us ample time we
would have give way to him, i told him his way of driving is wrong,
and hes endangering the lives of other road users especially
motorcyclists.
he simply challenged us, if we are not happy, we SHOULD have just
simply hit his cab just now at the bend or if we want we can still
hit his cab now.
i am not sure about the repair costs agreement between comfort and
their drivers but he is giving me the impression he need not pay
for anything should there be an accident.
when the light turn green, he sped off and gave me many vulgarities
gestures. His actions is jeopardising the image of comfort and it
is the threat of many road users.
The driver is middle age, bespectacled and is balding, i have
lodged a complaint thru the booking hotline handled by CSA named
jeanie during the night of the event but i believed i got the
roadname wrong.
I hope Comfort will do something about it before he hurt somebody
one day, i am very hesitant to report to traffic police as i know
he is making a living.
hope to hear from you soon,
gd day
