To cfn if it applies to taxi culture also. Anyway Thks everyone for the responseJust to add a few last words...This has nothing to do with taxi culture lah b...

I am involved in a car accident. Total 3 cars and I am the 2nd car.Why am I asked to pay the excess first. The car behind hit me which caused my car to hit the car in front. Anyone can enlighten me ? Thks

eurocab SG

You have any proof you stopped in time? If not, then nothing can be done. Nowadays it is not the last car liable for entire accident. Now, insurance claim is car A claim car B, car B claim car C. Either way, since you hit car A, you are at fault.

Toh weiwen SG

There is front camera. Even though they let me pay in installments, I still unhappy. Somemore the lost of income only $40/day

eurocab SG

Got show you already stop before the car behind hit you? If yes, then insist on your right to not pay the excess since you have solid evidence you have already stopped. Are you NTOA member? If yes, approach them to fight your case with the taxi company. Remember, DON'T PAY! Cos it will take forever to get your money back.....

such a question should be direct to SMRT, there should give u a better answer since you got dvr, post it here so we can look and give better advise

Angwk7118 SG

member also take note

taxi company will ask for excess first nowadays before determine you are not at fault

so asking you to pay may not means you are at fault

TS , please do ask your coy about your case on this excess collection

SMRT is like that,even both parties at fault,they will ask u to pay excess.even old cars going to be scrap also charge it to u,taxi write off,u pay them $2500!

Poolman SG

TransCab also like that , think now all taxi companies did that .

But what i know , eventually TS will win .

Taxi companies just want to spin those accident access .

In Hokkien , we called it chow ! Smelly ....

TransCab will tell u straight off , want money ? Wait 6 years after the case closed .

Hmm.. During TDVL course ah, Defensive driving module instructor got state.

As long as we middle car in multiple car accident, sure must pay access.

Unlike private car, first claim second, second claim third, etc.

if you are so stuborn , then you are not cut off to be a taxi driver. better drive a private car. in our culture its like that one. dun ask why. just take it as bad luck. You are at the wrong place and at the wrong time.
