Dangerous driving by taxi

[Dinzmetal]

got side swipe by taxi on the way to werk juz now. was on the left lane when the taxi from the right swerve in to my lane maybe to pick up passenger. manage to siam out the way but still bike hit the taxi slightly. when i honk at him, its as if nothing happened! tat really pissed me off sia. if he would have apologized, its a different matter and i could have forgave him but noooooooo. i also understand tat there are more taxis than passengers nowadays and the taxis hav to compete with other taxis. but such actions by the taxi driver can lead to accidents and even death. im really dissapointed tat the government have not put quotas on the no of taxis on the roads. (or have they?) anyway, i think this would really prevent them from competing fiercely with one another.

I have experienced myself many months back. I was riding my sp4 along bedok reservoir on right lane and on my left lane there is a double decker sbs bus. This idiotic taxi drivers on his blue cab was behind the bus carrying a passenger. He was following very close to the bus and when there is chance , he just cut into my lane without signalling. Due to my years of experience otr with those reckless drivers, i reacted fast by jamming my brakes and horn him straight away .He was like rushing for recarnation man, the road is only a 2 lane road and there r so many traffic lights along tat road. When his vehicles was in front of me he jammed his brakes to create an accident and tat really pissed me off .So i decided to take down his no. and call his co. to complaint and still the same reply from them ...Haiz...Really have to curse & swear

Lookup for STREET SMART and or Safety clinic somewhere in the forums, about road safety for driver and rider, very informative and useful.
