I realize that most of the cab drivers nowadays are very reckless on road. For example, when I was on my way home after work today in bus 106, a SMRT cab suddenly drive out from roadside to the bus lane without any signal when my bus is approaching the bus stop. It is very dangerous as they nearly knock into each other. Lucky the bus driver manage to brake in time and I nearly fell because the bus is very crowded and i'm just standing beside the front door...
The cab drive drove off and at the same time he wind down his window and put his hand out. I tot that he will signal apology but the cab driver think he is not in the wrong and point third finger to the bus driver!! The drive driver is very angry and note down the cab plate no. 5098.
This incident really makes me very piss off with this kind of cab drivers. They do not like to signal when they cut lane or making a turn and caused me nearly had an accident for a few times when I’m driving on the road. I think most of us have deal with this kind of drivers or seen this kind of scenario on the road.
Sometimes I really wonder why these cab drivers cannot drive with more courtesy? They like to speed, cut lane or making U-turn in dangerous manner to show the other that they are very skillful drivers or to show that they are road bullies? Why they didn’t think of the consequences if they get into serious accidents b'cos of their stupid action? They are not only putting their lives and the passengers’ lives at risk, but also taking risks to have their taxi licenses been suspended as well.
Anyway, I will not pity these cab drivers if they lost their jobs as they truly deserve to be punished! As for me, I learn my lesson to drive more carefully if there are any cabs in front of me.
