Lexxmexx Neutral Newbie September 4, 2007 Share September 4, 2007 (edited) Just now around 1am when entering tampines along the road from tampines flyover, I was driving at 70km/h and kena taligated by taxi until I reach the main junction. After turning right, this taxi continued to tailgate me and decided to filter right and sped past me along the road before Shell towards the church. After overtaking me, he just sped past the traffic light when it was red. Luckily didn't kena anyone Too bad didn't take down his car number. What was he trying to prove? Think he is very experienced and his 3 litre car very powerful is it? NB[furious] Wanna complain but will this chao taxi driver kena for beating the red light even when there were no cams?

Madsumm 1st Gear September 5, 2007 Share September 5, 2007 I heard.... correct me if I'm wrong.. Taxi's new insurance policies doesn't cover taxis who slam into your back. They have to come out their own costs..etc. It to their total disbenefit.. Just let them kiss u... hehehehe :P If you realize now, a lot of cabs keep a distance to the car in front. I was wondering why, till my friend told me about this change in insurance coverage. Rgds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion 5th Gear September 5, 2007 Share September 5, 2007 i second that.I was once overtaking all the taxi on the road.until further up,i realise there is police with speed cam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullifi3d 4th Gear September 5, 2007 Share September 5, 2007 yeah, i tend to notice this trend, at some point in time they will speed at 110km/h on the expressways and some times they will maintain at 90km/h. And its not just one or 2 taxis, its the whole lot of them on the road. Maybe they know more about speed traps and TP ops then we do. So i guess its a fair judgment.

Viviobluerex Clutched September 5, 2007 Share September 5, 2007 That's the key issue. Whenever they sped past Red Lights and a car or lorry coming unsuspectingly from the "Green" side means ......... http://kcarclubsg1975.spaces.live.com/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come they dun get caught. There are too many off them at night. The authorities are badly outnumbered how to catch them all. We as drivers have to be extra careful. http://kcarclubsg1975.spaces.live.com/ ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
