A**hole Mercedes taxi driver aggressively honks and tailgates cyclists

An impatient Mercedes taxi driver repeatedly honks aggressively at cyclists and recklessly drives like a 10/10 a**hole.

On Monday (Aug 9), a group of cyclists were cycling along the junction of Thomson Road and Balestier Road at seven in the morning when they encountered a rude taxi driver.

The Mercedes taxi driver could be seen tailgating the cyclists as they turned right at the junction in the video.

He aggressively honked at them despite not being in the same lane as the cyclists.

Towards the end, the taxi suddenly sped up and cut in front of the group. The taxi then took the left filter lane towards Whitley Road without observing the proper safety distance.

LTA's rules and regulations for cycling on the road

While the cyclists received backlash for riding on the roads, it seemed that they were following the proper rules and regulations.

They were wearing helmets, rode in a single file as close to the left-hand edge as possible and switched on their front and rear lights. They were decked out in national colours and did not use any mobile communication devices while riding on the road. 

Netizens’ reactions

While there is a stigma towards cyclists, there is no need to be such an a** towards them. If the taxi driver wanted to warn the cyclists, he could have honked once instead of continuously honking at them. Besides that, his reckless behaviour could have resulted in a severe accident on National Day.

Why is it that cyclists can do whatever they want on the road but not drivers??

I believe it goes both ways. If cyclists call drivers A-hole for that behaviour so can drivers call cyclists A-hole for their behaviour.

So stop the pot calling the kettle black. Cyclist are just as A-hole if not worse.

Let ask us ourselves this question.

what is the purpose of all car manufacturers installing horn at the steering wheel? For the purpose of warning to prevent accidents?

so let have an open mind do not be so petty! Do not take every horn sound as aggression from the driver!

taxi driver might just wanna issue warning “ hey watch out I am coming in fast”!

I believe  cyclist will rather be horn by taxi to be alerted and avoid an accident then ended up paralysis for good!
 

not every horn is aggression, but to prevent a potential accidents horning are needed most of the time!

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t

    5 ways the Polestar 2 Core Edition proves less can be more

    With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand.  What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA. But there's plenty more that has come out of Sweden besides flat-pack furniture, meatballs and impossibly-catchy pop songs. Founded as a standalone brand just eight years ago and headquartered in Torslanda, Sweden, Polestar is a design-forward electric performance brand that wants to put its Sc

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok
