confrontation with a honda
-
Last night centrepoint outside left 3 lanes so traffic as expected chaotic.
Lexus in front cut into my lane and I forced to cut in front of a Honda Accord.
After tat, buat song the Honda jam brake and slow intermittent ahead of me, finally at Concorde traffic light Mr Beng stop behind me come out.
Pax and me see from mirror he very agressive knock window. Wind down ask him what happen? Turns out he very buay song have to give way to a taxi and ask why he has to give way to me. Pax about 1.7m, looks muscular.
What would you do next? There's no right or wrong in this instance, me no devil but no angel either.
Myself in this instance have to go blur and say didn't even see him, but say sorry if I accidentally offend him. Anger in him deflated and he went back to his car.
Private cars in sgp travel at their time and leisure whereas this is a career for us where time really is money. Revenue driven is our target and to get out of sticky situation sometime better to eat a minute or two of humble pie then to escalate into hours of screw up.
Would some of us forumers do it differently?
On a different note, Wed night smrt mdt advance bookings for thu morn was up 10x at least, and Thu night for this morning also very high. Morning cabs also disappearing?

You did right, deflated a situation. On the road, we are not trying to win a medal or race.
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, most important is not accident and no injury

You sure you drive cab?
You're at your most VULNERABLE with your window wind down. People punch you faster than anything.
You can be RIGHT and wind up in hospital/police station for hours or days, revenue zero or
WRONG for a minute and go and continue earning.

Pls explain what is road bully? Under the law there is no such thing as road bully.
Road bully that is reported in press refers to cases of assaults resulting from traffic incidents, the courts take a very dim view of those.
Here there was no assault only exchange of words in other words a dispute. And Terry did the correct thing in deflating something that could have become more heated and lead to violence.
You record and make report la, see what the police do with it. Take to your lawyers, they will laugh heartily all the way to the bank if you insist on pursuing

this shows that u can't read the situation....
the driver is MUSCULAR....
to apologize is simple.... or u want to kena panda eyes ?
resolve it in a amicable way....
if u fight... 2 drivers get charged... u may even lose your TDVL.... think further..

one kick at his knee and he will be crying like a baby. But of course, I always remind myself, no fighting, no fighting. Not bec of TDVL license, but bec I can kill with bare hands.

true, that our stupid sinkie law,
when someone hits you, you cannot hit back, that is consider fighting. Our stupid law dun recognise self defense, unless you life is in danger, that means a knife.
When I am driving, I will never hit back, but if I am walking on the road or in a public place where my identity cant be traced easily,I will break the attacker hands and legs.
of course, I have to be careful, my full punch can crack skull.
