SINGAPORE - A taxi driver, who was seen yelling at a female driver
in another car on Bukit Timah Road, had stopped his taxi to taunt
her twice, an eye-witness said.
According to a contributor on citizen journalism website Stomp, the
driver shouted and gestured rudely at a female driver in a white
SUV on Friday evening.
Stomp
contributor Kenny said that the taxi driver had blocked two lanes
of traffic as he came out of his car to confront the woman.
The
cabby had first blocked the entrance to a bus bay as he gestured
aggressively to the woman, telling her to step out of her
vehicle.
When
the woman drove off, the taxi driver dangerously overtook her car
and stopped in front of it, Kenny says. The contributor captured
the second incident on camera, and sent the footage in to
Stomp.
He
told Stomp:
"I
witnessed a disconcerting event yesterday evening (March 28) while
commuting home on SBS Bus Service No. 157 along Bukit Timah Road
that involved a taxi driver.
"The
incident happened at 7.04pm at the road near near Hwa Chong
Institution.
"The
driver is not only aggressive and hostile, he has no respect for
other motorists on the road.
"I
witnessed the entire incident, and saw the taxi driver being
verbally abusive to the lady driver in the white SUV on two
occasions.
"In
the first incident, I saw the taxi driver behind the white SUV. He
had stopped near the bus stop, thus preventing the bus I was on,
Bus Service No. 157, from entering the bus bay.
"He
angrily motioned to the lady driver to get out of the car, and was
already seen being aggressive, but the lady driver managed to drive
off.
The
next incident, according to Stomp contributor Kenny, took place at
the next bus stop. This time, he had time to record the
incident.
