Too Eng already

Went for supper with Chris juz now cos hungry. On the way home, met a real rude merc cab loh. Im quite free now & dun feel like slping so decided to email a complaint to Citycab in the name of Chris ;D

"14 January 2007 at 1.30am, i was travelling along Jurong West Ave 1 and was waiting to turn right at the T-junction that leads to Corporation. SHB1717D (merc cab) stopped in the yellow-box at the T-junction to pick up passengers. When the lights turned green, i started to turn right but it was still stationary in the yellow box without hazard lights on. I gave a light horn and high beam to alert the cab as my car and a biker were unable to proceed. Thereafter, both of us travelled along Corporation with me behind. It started to turn left to Boon Lay Ave and began slowing down to a stop soon after before turning on the hazard lights. Hence i changed lane to overtake it. After being overtaken, it started to high beam me from behind right until i stopped at the cross junction as i was heading to Jurong West Central 1. It turned left to Jalan Boon Lay after gesturing to my wife.

In the first place, it is not allowed to pick up passengers in the yellow-box. Secondly, slowing down unnecessarily and putting on the hazard lights thereafter in order to high beam me from behind is provocative and inconsiderate. Thirdly, gesturing to a lady (my wife) to show his unhappiness is uncalled for.

I understand that cab drivers work long shift resulting in exhuastion and hence unable to concentrate at times. It is, however, not correct to display unprofessional and provocative attitudes when it is in the wrong especially when it compromises the safety of other road-users.

Perhaps, the driver of SHB1717D who was driving in that area at the time of 1.30am, be given counselling and refresher courses on road safety as well as improve his mannerisms.

Overall, most of the Citycab drivers i've met are polite and safe drivers. I would appreciate a reply on your follow-up actions pertaining to this unfortunate incident."

Tink they will reply? I tink they sure get alot of such 'enquires' lol..
