I was travelling on the first lane this evening (9.47 pm) along ECP towards Changi Airport after Fort Road Exit when a blue comfort taxi SHA**** suddenly cut into my lane abruptly from the second lane without signally. I highed beamed at him to show my displeasure. After he moved out of the way to the second lane, i duely switch off my high beam. But what going to happen next was totally beyond my expectations of a taxi driver who is earning a living off the roads.
He switched to the second lane, slowed down his vehicle before coming right back of my ride in the first lane. He then started high beamed me. Deciding against a duel against the driver, I move to the second and let him pass me first before switching to the first again. But this asshole decided to exact revenge in other ways, jam braking his vehicle when apparently there are no other cars in front of him at all, almost causing me to kiss his backside too!!!
He then moved away and cut into the 2nd lane, almost like an invitation for me to move beside me. I then move ahead and while we were travelling side by side, guess what this fuc*er do!! He began driving very near my vehicle almost with an intention to side swipe my ride. I fuc*ing hot liao but all the while when these things happen, my CO was beside me. She told me to cool off and make our exit at Bedok. Decided against a "war" against the taxi, I slowed down my vehicle and started making my way out of Bedok exit. But this driver has other ideas, while i was travelling along the last lane towards the Bedok exit, this taxi cut into my lane again and began road hogging. It was till I reach Bedok exit that he has no choice but to let me exit because his customers are to a different destination.
I wonder if any bros / sis here have similar experiences? What can I do to go after this errant driver?

Taxi got highbeam meh?What model was the taxi?Usually drivers highbeamed from other driver behind him will let the highbeamer pass him and then follow him with the highbeam on aka back at him.It all depends on who was the one who turned on the highbeam in the first place.Since this was you, the solution is not to let the person that u highbeam go behind you,if he slow down,you slow down too.......If its the other way,say it was the taxi who highbeamed you to give way to him, then let him pass and highbeam him,he switch lane,you too change.......its all a cycle...
Let me tell you 2 experince i had abt highbeamers...
1) I was on the way home from a wedding dinner at CHIJMES in June when a Toyota Corona(or i tink Corolla)(not the taxi Corona model) highbeam us for no reason at the King Albert Park Overpass.....we let him pass and highbeam him(with foglights on too) all the way to Bukit Timah junction where the fire station is,then we off the highbeam as The Corona was in front of us...then when the light turn green we overtake the Corona and it highbeam us back all the way to the train overpass further down...then we let him pass and highbeam him in return again untill to the point at upper bukit timah rd where we u-turn to out house....
2)We were on the way back from Alexander Hospital to home via AYEwhen a Red Toyota Altis was behind with highbeam on(highbeam was on since we saw it on the rd)...first we tried to make him pass by slowing down even more(we were slowing down as the light was red) but he did not budge......

then the light turn green and we went very slowly at 40km/h on the ramp down to AYE for the second attempt to make him pass....he pass and we went behind him and highbeamed him,he turn to the 2nd extreme lane and we did,he turned to the 1st extreme lane and we followed,i tink he was trying to see if we were highbeaming him.....we followed him all the way to the part of AYE before the ramp up to Clementi(we go home by the ramp too) then we pass him....he seems not to notice he had highbeam on as he did not follow us and not turn off the highbeam the whole time we was with him.........(i pity other cars that he highbeams)
