Hello all, I drive a Hyundai Getz 1.1M car. I bought the car 2 years ago. Today when i was driving back home, a moron taxi driver hit my car from behind when standing at traffic junction. The lights were red fro a long time and it was not a sudden brake from me. My car now has a big dent in the rear bumper and the read door got jammed because of the dent. (Will post pics of the damage soon). The taxi driver accepted his fault and offered to repair my car in a workshop called "soon hock workshop" in AMK. He has also accepted to pay in full for the repairing services I am insured by NTUC. I am asking you fellow brothers if i can accept his offer and get it repaired at the workshop he had suggested. What can i expect from the workshop and how will they repair the dent. Or is it advisable to file for insurance claim from NTUC. Thanks and regards, Bala

Interesting, especially when I am audience.... Just collected my car from my workshop as my car went in for a week of hardcore servicing.... The scene of drag racing happened right outside AMK Autopoint where y workshop is. Time is 1630pm.. After I turn out of the AutoPoint and trying to go to CTE. as I was turning out of the main road (T-Junction), A citicab was waiting by the side of the road very near to the junction on the lane that I am going to turn. Then the traffic light turn green from my right as vehicles started moving (me still waiting on the T), a Yellow Top taxi came behind that CitiCab and honk the fella down as he is blocking one whole lane. The citicab refuse to move despite the horning! So, the Yellow Top is blocking me as the traffic lights turn green, I am unable to move becoz the YellowTop is blocking my way and the tupid tupid citicab still refuse to move. So I let both of them have a taste of my horning too! Then the citicab moves! The yellow goes right besides him into the centre lane and both of them were shouting vulgarities at each other, then it happened! Both of them did their version of a PG NightSprint right on the road, I tried following them to see what happens. Both were apparently trying to out-drag each other, the Citicab being a Nissan Cedric and the YellowTop a Toyota Crown, it almost looks like a Nissan Skyline vs a Toyota Supra, except for the thick diesel smoke that came from both their CMI exhaust. The duo race all the way to the junction of NYP and AMK Central. Then at the traffic light (Red), I stopped right behind that Citicab, the citicab guy open his car door and out he came with a baton on his hand, the yellowtop beats the lights and fled. He saw me behind his car and he turn and walks towards me, I beat the red light and fled too. God knows what will happen to me if I sat there like a fool. Citicab drivers are gangsters huh? I reported the whole incident to TP via email. I urge anyone here who happened to witness this "race" and do not mind stepping out to help remove a road bully from our road please kindly contact me at 97649167. The duo just have watch "Taxi" more than once...
