See the pic properly, the BMW brake not because he do brake check, its cos the front cam car slow down, he slow down and cabby didn't keep safe distance.

Anyway it's dangerous for the beemer to filter like that too...this video proofs it..

Both has  fault.  The BMW actually did signal for awhile so that wasn't cutting in "abruptly".  The taxi driver, seeing that the car in front is signalling to filter in, should have slow down and give way to the BMW.  If the taxi driver drove graciously, by slowing down and give way,  the accident may have been prevented.

The BMW on the other hand, should check for the  speed of the cab before cutting in. If the cab doesn't look like wanna give way, then the BMW should have slowed down, wait for the taxi to pass, then only filter in.

I think what happened is that the taxi drive is unhappy the BMW cuts in, so he tailgated the BMW, but the BMW has to brake because the car (cam car) has to slow down. So in the end accident.

All because of ego issue from the cab and probably also heck care attitude from the BMW by  cutting in anyway.

Agree with all.

Bimmer signal for quite a while, but TransCab (no surprise here) refuse to give way.

Bimmer hard cut-in, TransCab TL, tailgate

Cam car brake, Bimmer had to slow down, TransCab tailgate and kena.

From insurance perspective, this video will probably give 100% liability to TransCab - hurray!

Sorry but the driver did not perform any brake check. Please study the video properly.

happened to me too late last year.

Would mycarforum or Singapore Reckless Drivers share this too. Nearly caused a collision and chain accident too with the compacted road traffic conditions that day.  To think such drivers are sharing the same roads as us.. with completely no regards of safety of others around them and only thinking of themselves first..!

!

I don’t think if you put your signal out, gives you the right to filter. Still have to give way to the traffic. If traffic does not give way, you’re out of luck. Be patient and wait for your turn to filter. Defensive driving learnt in driving school given back to instructor?? 

the pie incident: taxi suay... he allow the bmw to cut in, cam car slowed, bmw brake => what safe distance.. knowing transcab, they would nvr give way willingly.

the novena incident... there is a car a in front of bmw which going for right turn... bmw brake due to slowing car, got wrong meh? turning out into middle lane? ermmm looks sufficient distance leh

Watch carefully, there is a motorbike involved in the collision as well.
