Snappyg9 Neutral Newbie July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 Was driving along SLE today, when the taxi in front of me suddenly jammed brake. Luckily I managed to brake in time. I overtook him to prevent the incident from repeating, but was stopped by TP for careless driving. I pointed out to the TP about the braking incident, but he say he did not notice it. Instead, he issued a summon to me for "careless driving". I have a video recording of the incident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbMpo8UHqk4 Am I in the wrong? Could I appeal with this video? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the taxi e-brake, there is ground for appeal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahim Neutral Newbie July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 (edited) from what i observed the taxi jammed brake because of the presence of the tp wrx.(taxi may be over speed limit thats why) , then you move to the left and then cut the taxi abruptly afterwards.

Blackyv Turbocharged July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 u didnt notice they were speeding?.. from the way they overtook the left cars, im sure the speed is in the range of 100-120km/h ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimnfire 4th Gear July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 looks like you cut back into the taxi lane almost immediately after you overtook him that is warrant for inconsiderate driving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My speed is 92km/h-97km/h/h. And my blackbox is with GPS, so the speed is recorded too except that I left it out in case it was used against me... Yes I think the taxi braked because of the TP, the TP said I overtook the taxi for "revenge". I told him if that is the case, I should have jammed brake back.

Cybertech 4th Gear July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 How come TS did not notice the TP coming out from slip road? If it were me, I will not do anything after changing to middle lane and let the TP happy happy drove on till out of my sight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't wanna be a hero bro. I overtook him cos I didn't want a repeat of the e-braking again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMCTR Neutral Newbie July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 Uncle was observant about TP's presence, so break to the speed limit. You misunderstood his actions, so you overtook him.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Bear Turbocharged July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 I didn't wanna be a hero bro. I overtook him cos I didn't want a repeat of the e-braking again. You could have kept a further distance but do you really think he will repeat it again? btw, it does not look e-brake but just hard braking. By the way, did you signal when you change lanes?

The Taxi DID NOT JAM BRAKE. From scrutiny I can tell it's a tap on the brake, the rear of the taxi did not even pop up. I see that you picked up speed at 0.30 indicating pushing of the taxi... then abrupt overtaking and inconsiderate filtering. If I was the TP i would book you more ... Try to challenge with your video and sure kena slap with more fines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanevomax 1st Gear July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 i think the problem liase with you ..... couldnt disagree with the traffice police. initial you are ok , until when taxi speed slow down when he saw TP , and you got piss off ,follow by overtake recklessly. - TP coming , taxi driver balance his speed to prevent trouble - dont know you saw the TP or not , still dare to overtake from the left - and after overtaking , you just slice inside without a safety distance - finally , are you speeding? if you agree with the following , you should be gald that your license is still valid.

Mcf777 Turbocharged July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 why they took so long to chase after you? The road is so empty.Just need 10-15seconds to catch-up with you. Or are they thinking what type of charges to charge you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shor 1st Gear July 29, 2011 Share July 29, 2011 My point of view, your "cutting" back in front the taxi is deliberate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
