Cabby picks fight with driver for parking too close

[MadDog70]

 

A cabby attempted to find fault with STOMPer Carol at a petrol kiosk for her parking too close to the taxi last evening (Mar 18). When a bystander came up and supported the STOMPer's cause, the cabby challenged him to a fight.

 

The STOMPer wrote:

 

"I stopped my car at a Caltex petrol kiosk at Jurong West around 7.30pm yesterday (Mar 18) for my two-year old daughter to drop off her dad's mail into the letter box as she enjoys doing that.

 

"I parked my car in front of a Transcab taxi and was about to head into the kiosk store when the cabby confronted me about my vehicle.

 

"He tried to pick a fight with me for parking too close to his taxi, making his vehicle unmovable.

 

"When I told him that all he had to do is just reverse as there was no cars behind him, he continued arguing with me.

 

"Am I supposed to park my car three feet away from his car and cause a hindrance to other vehicles moving out of the kiosk instead?

 

"He even challenged a bystander, who sided with me, to a fight and accused him of siding with a woman so I asked the bystander to let me handle it as I didn't want to get the other party into any trouble.

 

"The cabby even told me I should pay him for his time that was wasted; I told him, instead, that he should stay put while I call the police but the quarrelsome man drove off instead.

 

"My daughter was so frightened she was crying in the car.

 

"Is this the kind of cab drivers we want on the road?

 

"What if he lords it over a meek woman or a tourist?

 

"Will let Transcab know about this and hope they do something.

 

"I feels people complain too much over trivial stuffs sometimes, but this incident is ridiculous and totally unnecessary."

It's very close to the cab but the taxi was not blocked in as there's space at the back for him to reverse his car out....if he was he was boxed in then I can understand his anger...

[Tarzan666]

But behind taxi like not much space to reverse from wat i see in pic.

Not sure whether in front of the black sunny got space or not.

Boxed in also... just point out the problem to the other driver and ask her to shift her car slightly lah... No need to get angry over it. Sometimes I see a lot of ego problems out there where one party cannot be polite and the other party also cannot give way, definitely lead to arguments.

 

I mean... c'mon, it's a lady driver so such things (poor driving, and parking) are expected

[Hermit]

Then, all of us will be busy picking fights with cabbies who stop by road side- making us inconvenient..

kns!

from the picture, if you compare the distance from the taxi back tires till the end of the "white" concrete road, i would say he has more than enough space to reverse out, maybe b4 TS came he has a straight forward drive out, now he must reverse out so very the tu-lan

[Ender]

Lady driver bloody inconsiderate. Normally if I stop infront of the car waiting, I make sure there's some reasonable gap for the behind driver top turn out without the need to reverse. Basic courtesy.. Unless parallel park, then no choice need to do reverse to come out.

[Caramelised]

just not his day in good mood for the taxi driver lah. Ever chase by a Taxi insisted I stopped my car as I had hit his rear when changing lane. Park at the side of the AYE and confirm nothing unusual, the Taxi just drove off without saying SORRY, These are some of the Taxi driver either in bad mood or trying their luck to see if anyone can be foolish enough to pay them creating some issues.

 

 

Just not your day.............................

Maybe his reverse gear not working. Die die must go straight.
