sibei angry , might be making a complain soon , if my car no ppl , maybe i wont complain , but my car got ppl , and he make me jam brake , what if something bad happens? innocent life....
How you know the people inside the taxi not tow hong one.
Don't know where to go, but tell the TD how to go.
Give and take, we TDs are alway there to be blame, what to do, 24hrs on the road, everytime accident involve taxis, you can see peoples said, knn taxi again, these TDs like and like that,...but knn, we are also earning a living out there, trying hard to ferry paxs like you people to the correct places and can end up like a robot using voice control, turn left, I turn left, voice said turn left then turn right then up the hill later U turn and turn left into the first carpark, I also hv to follow, acknowledge pax with a ok smile and repeat that in my head.
As said, give and take, you are also earning a living, we are also earning a living, by seeing that this red wish driver is at six and seven about his decision, meaning he is having a hard time to decide or getting information from paxs, allow him to go thru graciously, you do good to other, you will get some good to yourself in return. I alway wave to drivers who give way to me, and I give way to others too, some pick up lorries are driving at a very fast speed, I also give way to them, knowing that they have to reach the company before the siren goes off, otherwise the driver may get penalised for coming late that result in the whole bunch of workers late.

Why must so particular about cabby,
Pls la, nowaday, 99% of the driver in sg otr are doing the same thing....
If u'll a cabby b4, u'll know why, sometime is the pax suddenly ask U to turn left or right
in last min......
"Uncle, traffic light turn right hor"
"Sorry,sorry not this one, next one, hee hee hee"
nvm , i knew it , all these replies from fellow cabby will come and shield each other , but nvm , so its my fault for jamming brake , its my fault that the cabby cut into my lane at high speed. sorry fellow cabbies , i shouldnt complaint here. sorry arh!
I am not a TD, but am also a driver, and have experienced these things, and also have done the same things.
Just don't carry for more than 15 seconds. Never knock good enough, forget it and carry on with the day.
I do not know tat r u very less time on the routes, every day/ nite U can encounter one or two careless n inconsiderate driver. sometime blur driver, just becareful n alert urself on the route, Ur vehicle inside got one thing called HONK use it, not to irratate them, is use for avoid accident. U might be a very young guy inpatient type, like me in young time hot temper. after 20yrs driving in Sin routes, right lane in expressway can drive 80km/h, u honk at them, they still think they in the right. if u driving everyday on the Sin routes, Ur mood will spoil everyday. After many yrs of driving on Sin routes can be Monk Of the Route.
I dun have such problems ....
Why ?
Cos i am a defensive driver , are you ?
If i am at a "go straight lane " like you say ..... and if left lane meant to turn left , i for one , expect some kayu driver , whether or not they will do it , to cut in .
If they signal their intention , good , be it a civilian driver , or taxi driver , i will let them go thru .
Good driver or not ... depends on how defensive their driving skills , not how fast they go .
Good driver or not , not all the time depends on how well you control your steering , it's how good your ROAD SENSE .
Do you have it ?
One has to expect the unexpected while driving .
I drive , seldom i need to jammed brake .
One thing , it is very important to be fast at the right time , and must be spot on when is the right time to be slow .
Those road signs , with or without the 60km/hr sign board , has their reasons to be at this speed .
Singapore roads are not meant to race .
The safest is to drive according to road speed and speed base on road condtions .
Those heroes want to be hero , let them be one .
Just drive relax ....
They want to cut , cut if they want , all they want .
Just relax .
Just tell yourself , today they missed an accident , i shall not say tomorrow if they so lucky ?
Eventually they will met with one , if base on their driving patterns and style .
As long as you maintain that safety driving standard & defensive driving , u will not met with any accidents .
Also , a good driver , can always , by using body language skills , to anticipate what the other one driver is trying to do .
Not all drivers , only those drivers who can be a hazard to you .
Yes their body language .
See their body language , and observe , and forecast ..... if nothing happens from them , good , u can proceed safely .
Insuance company see my name very happy .
Never let people claimed me .
Only claim people .
Jamine see my name sian , must pay me NCB $100 every year .
I think really...as drivers, if something like that can spoil your day, then anything else can. There are all kinds of drivers on the road, yes we do curse and swear at them but that should be it, nothing more. Live and let live. Every driver has been a pain in the ass for any driver before.
wa, everday angry over petty things .......... alamak no endin ![]()

Yes, you can sense that the driver in the lane along side you want to change lane, even when there is no signal, by seeing his vehicle movements.
