Silvercab taxi fails to keep in lane while turning and strikes the new $240,000 Hyundai Palisade. Ouch.

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

    Forget resolutions, just focus on starting fresh

    The start of a new year is always a happy time for me. Apart from gatherings and mini reunions, January is when I reflect on everything I've accomplished last year, while mentally noting the things I still need to work on. Resolutions, though, are not for me. While it's not wrong to list some and strive towards them like goals, I think making resolutions is not the optimal way for me to reach new milestones, because more often than not, they're declared 'in the moment'. Or worse, after you'

    The best covers are the ones you don't expect

    I'm not a fan of Christmas.  Let's first set aside the unclear and potentially contentious origins of this particular 'holiday', and my general apathy towards religiosity. (Christians celebrate it as the day of Jesus' birth, though some evidence suggests his actual birth was in the spring. Some historians also note that the Christian traditions of Christmas can be traced back to Pagan roots and the Saturnalia festival, and the chosen 25 December date was an attempt by church leaders to appr

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 1

    Some of my colleagues will know that I make electronic music outside of work and school. A stark contrast from the impression I give off (several people throughout my teenage years told me I seemed more like a classical guy). Truth be told, I wasn’t always into music. Growing up in an average Singaporean Chinese household, my main sources were either the sporadic exposure to radio stations, or more frequently the theme songs of whatever was playing on KidsCentral/Okto (RIP free-to-air kids
