  Lady ?

  4 days driving experience since get your class 3 ?

  I think now u need to be trying out 110km/h on the highway ..... rather than familiarise with those road .

  Cos most customers all in a hurry , if u are not gutsy enough to go at high speed , u will have problems .

  Also ..... ur income will be less if u are not fast .

  As for Sunday , easy , just Q up any taxi stand that near your location .

  Good luck .

  I am not discriminating lady drivers .... when we drive a cab , we dun see sex , we are just quicker .

  Customer wise , i think they respect lady drivers more .

  But night shift wise , lady drivers will have more occupation hazard than men .

  So better dun la to drive night shifts , especially now hang cheng pie pie , u'll never know .

  Are u Karate 9 Duan ?

  Yes, Poolman Shifu is right. my license is 3yrs old. Drive only 4 days on road. Taxis license not yet a month... maybe need few more Sundays to try out on speed first.. 

   

  Also to get register is a karate course asap...

  imo...i think driving skill is most important for cabbies... road knowledge is second.... cos every accident costs up to 2K.... need 2 sundays to earn that amount.... must drive carefully and quickly improve driving... good luck
