(this is a repeat from cars forums, as a forumnite kindly directed me here)
I was the idiotic P-plate driver in the champagne coloured vios which suddenly right turned out from the Shell petrol station along East Coast Road and Karikal Lane at approximately 7+pm this evening.
I was turning right into the right most lane from the petrol station but did not notice two blue comfort taxis speeding towards Changi direction, because when I looked left, the road was clear and I purposely drove over the chevron marking leading to the petrol station because I thought the lane would be clear.
Upon turning into the right most lane, both of you horned at me and one taxi took evasive action into the left lane (it was a 2 lane road) and accelerated, while the other taxi braked hard, horned and high-beamed me. I tried to speed up but due to your speed being too fast, you still had to brake quite hard, and to the taxi and his passenger who was behind me, i apologize sincerely for your mental anguish and frustration, and hope you are able to read this.
I have learnt my lesson and will try to avoid other similar incidents in future, because I know my actions will have consequences not only myself but other road users as well.
I am sincerely sorry.
