This one depends on whether you all settled it privately or went to report to Accident Reporting Center to go through insurrance company to settle it.

If you hirer and damage is not too severe, and you know you would continue to drive until scrape, could ignore it just to make everyone (insurrance company, yourself, person who banged your car and company administrators) happy. Otherwise still must waste time to handle it as well as leave car at workshop for repairing (must ownself pay for transport back and transport to go there too). Loss of income pay only $80 per day even though they also stop rental charges. Possible accident free incentive for that 3 months also gone and possibly have to pay not-at-fault charges too. Other party definitely have to pay $1000-$2000 charges (Comfort rate) .

Since minor only, and also in the same trade, private settle lah, but if pte car..that one must report better.

Sometime you let him go, but when next time you sway sway bang into other taxi, whether this TD will let you go bo?.......

Same trade is same trade, thing need to be done still need to be done, smlj $50-$150 settle case? When you really need to sent in repair, downtime leh? Lost of income leh?......

Zo lang cannot chin chin chye chye just becos we are all TD......

Big damage, just report, he die his problem, unless he offer 70% of his excess amount.......

Next time, next time than bother lah, knn, TD today also dunno what tomorrow will be..tiam tiam next time next time…arbo ko si last time this, last time that. Taxis drivers must be very down to earth living day by day one.. and care more of the present, for you never know what the next pax will do or bring you to…tio bo, or sway sway kena one flash thunder light, siao liao.

So, learn to let tomorrow worry by itself, because as a TD, there is not much of a future, time up, peng steering, time end, siew chia..pattern same same.

My personal experience only.....

bowah SG

But claim higher lah, cost it took away your time, and in taxi driving, time is $$

Pandanchen SG

live and let live

can or not

bowah SG

Cannot, live must live with principles, otherwise, no meaning.

Wait lor.....

The day you bang into someone, you will understand what I have say today......

No need lah, you just go Loyang cdg gate, you see someone approaching you to offer you a ride out to Tampines Mall in his near 10 years old car, on the way, smlj cards and advertisement, from his previous claim for other drivers record.. to how much you can claim…all tell you. Then smile brightly with his stained teeth at you, and once you signed, he will hug hug you..like a long lost Lover.
