suddenly just cut in your lane, suka suka just jam brakes!!
change lane never signal! and worst those idiot who drive in the middle of 2 lanes!!! What the hell are u doing u want to be in the first lane or 2nd??? your father road huh?

i htink these people drive too much lah that why they are like that..and the worst part.. we bikers cant do anything...
i got a friend who got a car and this taxi just jam brake infrom of him.. for passenger.. then he nearly hit the taxi.. so he decided to over take the taxi and then drive infrom the taxi and then suddenly also jam brake... like 4-5 time...
*hehe teach that bugger a lesson*
unfortunately we bikers cant do that lah ...*sob*

actually, if we stood by their point of view(taxi driver), there are many drivers on the road nowadays n themarket so bad, hardly got customer.
so when they saw got customer they will w/o hesitation of checking blind spot or wat n sevre to the customer., they also 1 3 earn $$, but they jus did it the wrong way, try put into their shoe, n if i'm 1 of them, i would do the same, but in a more safly manner Wink Laughing

dun flame me for helping taxi driver Razz Mad Razz Mad Razz

^WeeZer^^ SG

i think wat milk boy said is quite true cause my uncle is a taxi driver too he got alot of yrs of exprience and i have sit in his cab before he is a veri considerate and safety driver......sorry to said this but is not all taxi drivers who are like wat of you u guys said..... there is sure a number of them who are less FxxK up than the rest........ This is frm my point of view jus a comment nuthin much no grudges or anything...... Wink Wink Wink Cool

Not all taxi drivers are like that.... But I have experience that cab just suddenly stop then on hazzard lights one...... To me, sometimes the rider have to be alert...... if you are behind a cab, and you saw people standing by the side of the road, you got to slow down and prepare to stop or prepare to change lane...... Got to be observant lah.... but sometimes...... they really sux......

Hope this help..... Stay alive guys..... Laughing

some taxi drivers are gd, k? dun condemn all... Laughing

Xcert SG

taxi drivers....some are good.....some have questionable driving habits.....swerve into the left lane to pick up passengers...switch on hazard lights...yes....as if it will help when U are very close to their back bumpers as they swerve in...some drive with the lane divider under their taxi and behave as it it is right of them to do it....

i would think everyone would agree taxi driver are out there to make money, but what if bec of their reckless action to get a customer, they just cut in and stop the cab, and then maybe an inexperience rider behind him. slow to react and bec of the taxi driver reckless act.. this new rider bang head on the taxi fly to the road and a trailer running at hi speed run over the rider...

i mean fair is fair, but to take a chance on someone else life is unfair... u wanna take the risk with your own life, thats your problem, but you wanna take the risk on my life thats not fair, im not a cat, .. i only got 1 life...and thats all...
if i die.. then my parents how?
if i dont die, paralize for life.. then how?? whats the point of living...

All we all need is abit of consideration for others...especially when it comes to other people life

i agree we riders also have to do our part..
when we see cab.. prepare to give way.. and prepare to stop when they are taking in customer
but there is only so little that we can do...

taxi driver also have to be considerate to the lifes of the riders
an example: recently a taxi driver doing an illegal u-turn in bedok (i guess to save time and to go to the destination fast) so he do an illegal uturn, and then never check blind spot (he assue everything is ok) then a rider going straight , bang on to him and DIE (with his pillian)
is this fair?

when your dead... would u still feel that we should be considerate to the taxi driver? after all he did the illegal u-turn and never check blind spot bec to make money to please the customer,

sorry if im harsh, but i think when it comes to our own life, i rather be harsh and crude then be dead...

I think the Traffic Police not only need to educate the bikers but also the taxi drivers…... Maybe this will help save a bit more lifes…...

roger SG

you are being too polite when you use the word "some" . i would say all are bastards. treat them as bastards, stay out of their way and pour brake fluid on their vehicle. oh yes, spray WD 40 on their tyres as well. i am sadden by the latest accident involving a rider, pillion and a taxi driver at bedok.

sounds harsh? yes it is, but remember many fellow riders have been killed by those bastards. when i read in the papers that a cab driver is involved in an accident, i pray for his early departure from this planet. cruel? yes, but remember this again: MANY FELLOW RIDERS ARE KILLED BY THEM.
