Have you seen the new Hyundai Palisade on our roads?

It is normal if you haven't seen this monster of an SUV powered by a 3.5L V6 engine, pushing out a total of 374 BHP and 336Nm of torque.

It is very rare to spot a Palisade cruising around.

It is so rare that this taxi driver decides to leave his mark on the Palisade. Watch it here:

What Happened?

The accident occurred at Halus Link Junction towards Punggol. 

A Silvercab taxi and Hyundai Palisade travelled alongside as they approached a 2-lane filter lane. 

As they negotiated the gradual left turn, the Silvercab abruptly cuts into the lane of the Hyundai Palisade.

The taxi driver's inability to keep within his lane while turning and his ignorance of not checking for surrounding traffic resulted in him sideswiping the Hyundai SUV.

Despite being a larger vehicle, the massive 8-seater SUV was forced out of the lane, causing it to cut across the solid double white lines.

It was fortunate that no oncoming traffic was present at that point in time.

Thoughts

TBH, it seems like a norm for taxi drivers to drive however they like.

More often than not, it seems pretty common for taxi drivers to take up 2-lanes, drive recklessly or cut other drivers off in an abrupt manner.

But now that I think of it, doesn't that describe Singapore drivers in general?

I wondered what substance he was high on for him to leave a comment like this.

And then I saw his profile picture. Nuff said.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of

    Less caffeine leads to more dreams

    There's nothing like a double espresso to kickstart your morning, especially if it's extracted from medium- or dark-roasted beans. What a tasty way to begin the day. I enjoy coffee, but I'm not a caffeine addict so it's not a must for me to consume. In fact, lately, I've only been drinking it once or twice a week - doing this ensures that when I do drink it (to power my way through a hectic day), the caffeine kick will be well and truly felt. I did not stop drinking coffee thrice a day
