1. This is not true. Quite a few of us here are sotongs. I
know Bukit Merah well, now I more or less familiar with Serangoon.
Elsewhere...I will ask, "dont mind you guide me as I am two
months new"
2. This one driving attitude problem. I know its
happening, I also dont understand why they drive like that. I
like to drive in such a manner that my passenger thinks he/she is
sitting in a waiting lounge. I have mother and kid playing, dont
even know they are in a moving vehicle. I have people reading books
in my cab. (most times if you try to read a book in a car, you
will surely get a headache). I also encounter a few times, ladies
putting on mascara, IN MY CAB !! Scary, if I jam brakes, sure kena
the forehead.
3. Before I became a TD, most people dont give way,
whether cab or pte vehicle. When I became a TD, at least some TD
gives way, Pte Car continues not to give way. I think this is a
Singaporean problem.
Thanks for answering.
Point 1 still mollifies me because all the TD I flag down so far
all know the way sia...cos I can only give directions like at the
last 5 min when nearing the location.
2. so far i only encountered one driver who drives like you.
scarly it's you???? the rest make me feel liek throwing up..cos I
have bad motion sickness.
3. It's true many ppl dont like to give way on the road, but the
biggest problem I notice about giving way seem to come from taxi
lei. like most of the time if there's a taxi behind me and I
indicate i wanna change lane, the taxi will speed up and cut me
off. some pte cars will still give way to me. (altho there are
those who dont) but one thing for sure i know is that pte car dont
like to give way to TD because it's kind of like a common knowledge
(at least among the ppl i know, even my TD uncle agrees with us)
that if TD get given way to..that TD wont give way to you.
just my 2cents..i dont purposely cut ppl's lane.
