appealing for witness
-
i, almost met incident with a comfort taxi, yesterday morning at ECP. The taxi was signaling to turn to Bedok from ECP. I was travelling at 80km/h at the rear of him. He suddenly change his route and cut back to the ECP to east coast and slow down to the speed of 60km/h and i have to brake and slow the speed. Time 0700hrs.
From my view, he look sleepy as he was drive like he road belong to him and swing from centre lane to left lanes most of the time undecide which lane he want to keep in-line. After 1 minutes of following, I horm him at him, as i can see my rear mirror that vehicles are jammed up on the centre lanes. He(the taxi-driver ) didnot respond. Have to lookout and swing to the outer lane and overtake him. All the other vehicles too follow the overtaking. When pass a few metres ahead and look back,found that the taxi still "BOH Cha' keeeping on the centre lane at 60km/h.
Have taken down his number but wat can we do? His company is not going to take action? As we need witness.
It is best to install CCTV to it and take down the incident moment than submit to the press rather than to the company. -
Well, frankly i think you should write in and complain.
My sincere apologies to some people whose parents or close relatives are
cabbies, but in most general, most cabbies are bastards, with huge egos
that shape their reckless driving styles.
Especially on fast lanes, and at occassions when you need to overtake or cut them. They simply turn on their 'bastard' mentality and race you in order that you are always on the losing end to them.
They also do not realise that playing games like these are completely immature
and stupid where the concept of bread and butter is concerned.
I can't wait to see some of them irresponsible ones lose their license and see what tougher life awaits them.
So, dont feel bad, just send your complains in and let the authorities handle them! -

"i fully believe wat he said" implies u already believe ur fren.Originally posted by kentheman:to clarify ur doubt, none of us here say we are good...
and i'm not the driver here, so how would i know whether i'm in the wrong or right. and to twist a story from wrong to right, den i tink u can apply to be a scriptwriter w mediacorp...
no offence, but i do trust this person's intergrity and i fully believe wat he said is the fact. if it's his fault, he'll admit it..=)
To be fair u should hear both side of stories, not one sided!
Smtimes it may be the passenger fault too! -
but which passanger will be in the right mind to ask the driver to cut into opposite lane?Originally posted by gnoik:"i fully believe wat he said" implies u already believe ur fren.

Then wat make u so sure the passenger wun ask lehz?Originally posted by kentheman:but which passanger will be in the right mind to ask the driver to cut into opposite lane? -
more likely passenger is not mental one ... if not sure must stay in IMH

if passanger ask, driver can always reject the idea... he jolly well know tt it will endanger other road users. and putting everyone's life at risk. if he really do wat passanger tells him to, he should be off the road...Originally posted by gnoik:Then wat make u so sure the passenger wun ask lehz? -
Besides sex drive, yes, I do drive and I sure hell not need a chauffer.
What is the point of soliciting for witnesses here? Isn't it likened to looking for a needle in the haystack? IMHO, it is quite pointless which was what I meant from the start.
Please do not make assumptions and fire your missiles away. Thank you.Originally posted by nullifi3d:Well you obviously don't drive. Hey, try taking over the wheel once in awhile instead of letting your chauffer be a slave to you. -
That car is passe and is now in NZ or somewhere in Timbucktoo. Please don't post it again as it rake up sentimental values. I now drive a turbo Lancer only.Originally posted by HENG@:u calling someone who drives this:
chauffered? jumping to conclusions too soon are we? -
Let me tell you this. I once took pictures and video with my HP cam and showed how a cab driver showed me 3rd finger and yelling KNNCCB etc. I downloaded it on my computer, zipped it and emailed Comfort after that.
The next day, they sent an email response and a week later, a formal email was sent citing the actions that they took. On speaking to some cabby, getting complaints is taboo as it affects their ratings and they lose some kind of bonus. They will be in the losing end.
Moral of the story? They have to really behave.
In your case, it could merely be a case of sleepiness. Live and let live. It is his rice bowl.Originally posted by jastinn336:i, almost met incident with a comfort taxi, yesterday morning at ECP.
