Givechance 1st Gear January 30, 2013 Share January 30, 2013 (edited) Don't need to ask. This taxi already can see the front white MERC taxi trying to change lane. There was AMPLE opportunity to changd lane before the odyssey came along. The taxi was able to see damm clearly there was Road works in front. Which is why this taxi is keeping such a huge gap between itself and the front white MERC taxi, hoping to change lane as obvious from the taxi already touching the dotted lane lines......but somehow still delay its lame change untill the very last moment. But knowing taxi and many kiasu drivers......purposely like to take the empty lane(repair lane) to short cut.....and purposely only want to cut in ( change lane) at the very last moment...in order to one -up the rest of the road users. Odyssey must have seen it coming and thus want to prove a point. Edited January 30, 2013 by Givechance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF 4th Gear January 30, 2013 Share January 30, 2013 Not sure if KS is a MCFer boh, so you can email him at [email protected]. But likely he'll ask you to email TCH 'cos Teo is in-charge of Home Affairs. Then Teo will tell you the vehicle is on urgent official duties but 'cos unmarked car, no siren available.....

Steptronic Supercharged January 30, 2013 Share January 30, 2013 It is typical of any driver here - Government, taxi or private - does not matter! Do you want a ministry formed to explain all these incidents? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless from my side mirror I see them cutting into the blocked lane from behind and chiong to the front to cut queue, that one I no give chance.

Warthog Clutched January 30, 2013 Share January 30, 2013 This Odyssey driver sibeh kuai lan knn Please send email to Shanmugam directly, see what he replies. Mr Shanmugam don't get paid so much to handle trivial affairs like this. This incident reminds me of my friend who was unhappy with UOB services and demanded to see Wee Cho Yaw (the Chairman of UOB).
