One of the weekday during the peak hour period, I pickup an indian pax from KK hospital going to Tekka Mall. As I turn out of the driveway approaching the main road, infront of me is a private car. He performed a right turn and entered Hertford road. When it was my turn to proceed, the indian ask me to turn right and enter Hertford road. He say can turn right and go into Hertford, pointing to the private car infront. I didnt know can turn right, i think cannot, the sign i see only pointed to the left, so i followed the road sign and did a left turn. The pax is not happy and he shouted at me, say i stupid, waste his time. Trying to go by the longer way and eat his money. At the end of the trip, he took the receipt and say he will file a complain against me!
let me ask you a question, if you turn illegally and get caught by TP, who is going to pay for the fine? Who is the one going to deduct points?

I dunno cannot turn right, and i think cannot, so if he is right that can turn right, then i am in trouble, so i dunno if i am right or not, coz since that car can turn right.....was that an illegal right turn?
I am confused about the traffic flow , coz recently while travelling along Kg Java rd towards Thomson, approaching the traffic light, i was about to make a right turn to Hertford road with green light at my favour, then a private car came out suddenly from that KK hospital drive way and came head on towards me. The driver is nice and he gave way to me, waving at me to go first.
That's part and parcel of a taxi-driver's job. Bound to bump into such customers. Anyway, be glad you won't be seeing that jerk anymore. Complaints are common and I am sure your taxi company has seen a lot of such complaints from petty clients to bother about them that much.
U are right not to make a right turn , that's a illegal one .
But down the main road , can u-tun at Owen Road .
Dun worry , u are doing the right thing ...
Let him complaint , let LTA or CDG fuck him up instead .

You are right! I can understand.
Especailly now, there tons out there.
I also do not like 2 types of clients but sometime bite my teeth.
In my line i cannot afford to pick and choose like you guys.
I do not mean to offend you guys but you cannot avoid them but i can not, most of the times.
His 5 cents is bigger than a cow cart wheel.
Glad to know its an illegal right-turn, it seems almost everybody is doing that right turn so I doubt myself I am wrong haha...perhaps LTA might convert that area to allow right turn due to popular demand.

Unreasonable paxes , i juz get down and smoke .
Absolutely nuisance i just pulled my handbrake .
Fark them la , nonsense people , and welcome them to lodge a complaint against me .
Cos i know how to self defense .
Cos i know the proper way of talking properly .
It's their words and our words .
I can imagine how they talk when they lodge a complaint against me .
I cannot fall into the trap by pissing off .
When i talk , i know how to talk properly .
And again , not easy to call into TransCab and complaint , u know ?

Don't want to alight no problem, we go police station. straight away he open the door and run. fucker didn't even close my door.

Today pickup a pax at KKH , this time i see the LEFT turn arrow still there, but other private cars still doing the right turn to Hertford road as usual. It is not exactly a right turn, it is just ahead and slightly to the right, so it is quite easy to go in....without getting caught haha!
The funniest thing is.....LTA is just nearby haha....
