I understand where you are coming from..cos i like to eat and don't like to cook

 

thats exactly why people who likes to feedback about traffic infringement might not necessarily want/like to be a traffic cop..its 2 different matter

 

to me, they are almost the same thing.

 

how you want to view them is up to you.

I wouldn't report... because no immediate danger.

Motorcyclists are more at risk here.

 

HOWEVER, if the taxi driver was signalling left, then filter out (or in this case, he signal right, then filter lane).

Then suddenly horrendously turn back left into the main road.

 

Confirm will send to LTA (because he is causing an immediate danger to cars behind).

Lots of people make illegal u turns (especially when you get lost) BUT please regard safety as the important thing

Just to share a true story from my Uncle.

 

Once he spotted a taxi at night while he's having supper, the cabby stop the car beside the road (illegally) and run to coffeeshop to buy something.

 

My uncle see liao, buay song, took picture and then send to Comfort delgro to complain the taxi illegally stopping at roadside.

 

My uncle just want to teach the driver a lesson and hope comfort give him a stern warning.

 

Then Comfort reply him, they TERMINATE the cabby.

 

My uncle was shocked, he just want to make the cabby wake up his idea, he didn't mean to smash his ricebowl.

 

And from the pics he took, the cabby was parked in a non-obstructive way and only gone for 1 minute or 2.

 

Nevertheless my uncle was pretty guilty about it.

 

So before we complain, maybe we ought to think if the cabby deserve the consequences or not. If wat the cabby did is dangerous and unremorseful, report. but if what the cabby did is petty stuff, let's give and take and give benefit of doubt.

Yup, that's why i only asked for opinions... I didn't file a complain... I think in the end he checked clear and it was actually safe to do it... Albeit illegal....

NB....only warning for committing 2 traffic offences within 90seconds. Should sack this assshole.

 

Quote from the letter

"We have looked into the matter. The driver should not have driven in the manner as alleged. For his poor road behaviors and attitude, we have given him a warning and firmly reminded him to adhere to safety standards set out not just by the Company but by the Traffic Police as well. Your complaint has been filed in his service record and we will monitor his performance closely."

 

Anyone complain him again, I am sure he will get the boot : SHC7344B

Ok la, give him chance to amend his mistake, now he drive on road will be more careful knowing that if he anyhow drive , he may get video recorded without him even knowing. At least that is the deterrence to make sure driving on the road is safe.

Whether the company take action or not, we dun reali know... terminated by one, employed by another... if we have proven beyond reasonable doubts sent to TP is the best.

If the illegal 'U' turn did cause any accident, then report him to the authority. -_-

 

If no harm done, just leave it, sometimes once in a 'Blue' moon, I also did illegal 'U' turn when traffic is clear. [cool]

 

If that taxi driver did it daily/always (if can be proven), he need to be taught a lesson .. :angry:

I say report. The U-turn is only slightly further in front but he chose to blatantly disregard the traffic sign. Probably would have given him some leeway if the traffic was so jam pack till the next U-turn but it wasn't.

 

Whether or not it is a safe illegal U-turn, let the TP decides.

Feeling the same ^
