Have you seen the new Hyundai Palisade on our roads?

It is normal if you haven't seen this monster of an SUV powered by a 3.5L V6 engine, pushing out a total of 374 BHP and 336Nm of torque.

It is very rare to spot a Palisade cruising around.

It is so rare that this taxi driver decides to leave his mark on the Palisade. Watch it here:

What Happened?

The accident occurred at Halus Link Junction towards Punggol. 

A Silvercab taxi and Hyundai Palisade travelled alongside as they approached a 2-lane filter lane. 

As they negotiated the gradual left turn, the Silvercab abruptly cuts into the lane of the Hyundai Palisade.

The taxi driver's inability to keep within his lane while turning and his ignorance of not checking for surrounding traffic resulted in him sideswiping the Hyundai SUV.

Despite being a larger vehicle, the massive 8-seater SUV was forced out of the lane, causing it to cut across the solid double white lines.

It was fortunate that no oncoming traffic was present at that point in time. 

Thoughts

TBH, it seems like a norm for taxi drivers to drive however they like.

More often than not, it seems pretty common for taxi drivers to take up 2-lanes, drive recklessly or cut other drivers off in an abrupt manner.

But now that I think of it, doesn't that describe Singapore drivers in general?

Netizens' Comments

Exactly how I feel. 

NGL, that is straight-up facts 💯

I wondered what substance he was high on for him to leave a comment like this.

And then I saw his profile picture. Nuff said.
