Edgar_Davids SG

me too, but i have heard of taxi drivers being booked by TP before

Edgar_Davids SG

they will only be booked if they kenna accident, most of the accidents involving taxis, it’s usually the taxi’s fault and very difficult to escape demerit points

I have attended one Road Traffic Accident where this taxi hit a lorry at a junction. The taxi had the right of way as it was green light. The lorry driver hit and run , but the driver was caught a few hours later. It turned out to be a Bangladesh Worker....

So sometimes there are worse drivers out there.... Confused

my fren met an weird incident last week. he and his groups of fren went onto a cab. the driver was not local. his spoken english was v v lousy, with a funny accent. my fren was suspicious and to hsi horror, found out there is no taxi driver licence in the cab.
next, he(suspected bangla) dunno where is AMK!!! (omg! is it v diff to get to amk from seletar camp??? )
AND the driver stalled more than 5 times along the short trip to amk
lastly, he dint even have any money to change my fren. (my fren gave a ten dollar note. the trip cost 6.)

until now, my fren still tink its a illegal immigrant. Laughing

Taxi driver where got kana booked by TP one ? Cabby most , majority very good , experience driver , just because u saw a few black sheeps on the road and curse along with the rest ? Unfair !

Taxi driver how good are their driving skill ? You just multiply the time they had on the road everyday , and by days and by years , then looked at their acident record , it very good compare to those civilian drivers .

Let's be honest , some civilian drivers driving also s*u*c*k*s la , especially those Mercedes drivers , they can actually drive 80km/h on the extreme right lane , they dunno the meaning of extreme right lane , they are the ones to get booked by TP .

Why high beam ?

Why honk ?

No use on cabbies one la , if want , bang him !

Poolman SG

If base you guys on the comments you'd made on cabbies , most of us would doubt you are one kind of good drivers la , sounds so impatient .

Just relax la , be patient on the road , if the cabby want to stunt , let them be , why take them on ?

Be patient is a very nice thing to do on the road , patience can save alot of trouble .

Once you lost it , it can be very troublesome to you , and the rest of the road users .

Be patient can actually saves life too , or it'll be too late , when you kill someone because of your impatient .

Relax la .

ComfortDelgro has the most amount of taxis on the road everyday , but the company had passed the lowest acident rate test set by LTA recently .

Aiyo...there still have some good and zai taxi driver mah.Cabby uncle in his 30s, driving on roads at 90km/h and expressway at 110km/h. From serangoon to ssdc in 10mins, wasn't too late for my lesson.Woo lala..my most shiokest ride ever! Very Happy

Yea agreed. Taxi drivers really suck.
ALWAYS change lane without signalling. ALWAYS tailgating.
Worst is when i'm on the cab, he can go like at 60km/h when there are no other cars around.
And what pisses me off more, is when they drive into my housing estate, driving that time look left, look right, look everywhr at all the houses. But NEVER look ahead on the road and never speed up. Sickening. Then when u ask them can go abit faster PLS, they say " u think taxi can fly ah ".
Dumbest answer i have ever heard.

And when my friend told me that taxi drivers need to have at least 10 years of driving experience. i was really really shocked.
10 years of driving experience and they can still be such inconsiderate drivers.

aiya haiz taxi drivers spend the ENTIRE day sitting there in his driver’s seat driving n driving n driving. us private drivers juz spend what..? 1 hour at max from point A to B? (or a few points?) Sometimes its also the passengers making ridiculous requests like screaming at the driver “TURN LEFT HERE!!!” when the driver is already in a right turn pocket and these taxis have to make a decision whether or not to listen to the customer etc. They spend several hours each time on the road so I guess we must also emphatise with them. After a while it gets tiring. so yeah. Although yeah many of them are very inconsiderate.

Recently just heard the incident about a cab stop at the road shoulder of the expressway, tell his passenger he need to eat dinner and take a nab. Anyone heard heard about this? I read it on mycarforum.

dragg SG
