Only 4 years for that killer on Singapore Road?

Taxi drivers are the same in Asia except japan. They squeeze, cut, chiong,...as if the road belongs to them. I respect the lady who took down all details and stood as witness against the driver.Originally posted by mattdevil:I can understand the thots running thru the rider's mind as i have had experiences that taxis cut into my path without a care, it just makes my blood boil.. These damn taxi drivers should be thought a lesson, Think all u s'poreans should just stop takong taxis for a month in protest for the current standard of taxi drivers, that'll wake up the taxi companies management and finally make them understand that we demand good service.
I guess in singapore this is only one thing you can do, when you see a taxi break the law, take down the numbers and report. But be prepared the trouble to stand witness later. I have done this twice. First against a taxi who drove against the traffic in serangoon garden, though there was no car on the road and it was 1130pm, report was made to police. Second was against a taxi who stopped dangerously to pick up passenger. Don't know what happened to the first case, but the second case, reported to the taxi company, they called up and say thank you and said they gave the driver a warning, true or not never mind, nin be song liao. -
This thread reminds me of another case of road rage.
The Chairman of one of the taxi comapanies beat up a young driver. He was spared the jail term in the sub court. What pissed me off was he was aquitted after appealing to the high court. Why didn't our CJ sit on this case? haiz... -
Why indeed, especially if CJ's decisions are precedents to go by for any sitting Appeals Court to follow - with or without the presence of the CJ.Originally posted by Archirodon:This thread reminds me of another case of road rage.
