I drive in 2 eras, 90s and present, still make so many mistake.
Can go wrong route to places I've been 100s of times.
Can go wrong places to find pax, knowing full well these places
are 'olland. Can kena cheat (this happened recently)
So many other things, kena accident also, i actually knocked
somebody down twice! Happened once in 1997 and again in 2010. (1997
not my fault, pax, Thai guy drunkard) who stopped when he saw my
taxi and as i was passing him, he ran across. Lucky I was very
slow. Those days go no hp, so i left to call ambulance, return to
scene, the guy disappeared, I think illegal immigrant). In 2010, it
was my fault, knocked someone down at traffic light, but again very
slow speed,. Prepared to return my license, but in the end TP gave
me a stern warning instead.
Many drivers here have so much experience, some are way better
than me in collection, some better in psychoing pax, even when they
salah make the pax forgive them and like them. Some know which is
best place at what time. Some know which company is good for what
(Angwk is exceptional is methods of companies, as just 1 exmple).
Some know other things like Poolman got alot, if he write here
cannot finish.
I know somethings better, maybe the Law but other things, this
forum can give you a lot of insight, if you know when and where to
look. Even newer drivers like Khoon and others sometimes come up
with gems for us to learn.
People give advise here not to show off, but to share. Nobody
ask everyone to follow 100%, mix and match what suits you, but when
they talk about certain things that you're clueless, the best
advice I can give is to give what they say a try.
If they recommend relief, got a lot of reason, why not try
first. of course out of 100, maybe 5 or even 10 can succeed without
the advise given, but most can't. So you know yourself better, can
you make it? If can't, you don't need to see it as a challenge, go
with the flow.
Ok rant over, good luck.
