The STOMPer described:

"An accident happened at Bukit Batok Ave 2 this morning at about 7.30am.

"A red TransCab was travelling very fast and crashed into a bus stop.

"An Indian man in his early 30's was injured on the left leg, and bleeding profusely from the head.

"The driver was unharmed without any injuries, but stared blankly.

"He was also sent to the hospital for a routine check-up.

"The ambulance arrived in 5mins but the police car never arrived."

The SCDF reports:

"We received a call this morning at 7.26am.

"The accident took place near Block 315 at Bukit Batok.

"A red TransCab was travelling very fast and crashed into a bus stop.

This reminds me of similar accident outside the Rex House along bukit timah not so long ago.

It makes one wonder whether Wish is a safe car to drive??

Poolman SG

Wish 2.0 is safe. The cornering is superb probably due to its low and wide chassis. The power surge is not much leh so very puzzled how come the driver can lose control. If is sonata ya possible .

see driver lar ....

sometimes a new driver switch from a Crown to automatic taxis , will need sometime to adjust .

u dun see poolman driving 60km/hr and bang onto someone else ?

accident always occurs when the vehicle is at high speed .

Drive slowly leh ...... 60km/hr .

kinwashi SG

Before saying. and now.

which is which.

Quote.

Ridiculous to drive a Crown at 60km/h .... the driver won't fall alseep meh ?

I drove 90km/h i almost fallen asleep ....

No difference , as far as customer's money is concern , but does make a massive difference for that particualr cabby , he wasting his time ma .

Time is money for cabby .

kinwashi SG

Drive slowly leh ...... 60km/hr .

Before saying and now, what wrong now?.

Me expressway almost hitting maximum 110km/h averagely , can still go up , but dangerous , cos Crown is very light .

Unless i drives a sonata , i maybe can hit 120km/h at midnight .

Me night shift driver , can chiong abit , not before midnight , tarffic police and camera everywhere .

Insg SG

60km/h is slow lah. but how often u drive that slowly? u always overtake me leh, bro.

Why chun chun hit bus stop?

90% of the road side is clear, only trees.

This is not the first time car crash into bus stop.

Poolman SG

U guys can go on driving 90km/hr at a 60km/hr stretch , good luck .

Wanna see girls , drive 60km/hr .

Even if got paxes flagged , u stop behind won't honk at you . But if u fast , got pax , it became you jammed brake , behind big honking .......

Poolman SG

60km/h is slow lah. but how often u drive that slowly? u always overtake me leh, bro.

komade SG

slow n steady wins the race~~~~ ;)

WizQ SG

i was being sarcastic lah. Because someone here always say only CDG drivers are dangerous drivers, transcab drivers are safe and good drivers. :) KNN, mbs to pasir ris in 11 mins. Hehehe

You got the point absolutely right bro. Now imagine if wish is also turbo charged. Can you see why so much CDG bashing in this forum now? Basically wish driver just gian because their engine not as powerful. :)

Sgm40 vps SG

Haa, agreed with this point too!

Efryterfsdrwef SG

Turbo or no turbo ....*sigh* CDG taxis .

Poolman SG

The rest of those drivers who never drive a Wish 2.0L ........ u dunno one lar ..

Sonata ? Question is we want or not ? .... Whether that Sonata dare or not ?

Normally i don't do it .

I want go home in a piece .
