A black Thursday…

Posted on | August 20, 2009 | No Comments

Today my lady luck decided to take a break. I nearly met accident uncle and aunty.

I was driving to Tiong Bahru for my evening class and it happened along clementi road. A SMRT cab was turn out of the ulu pandan road into the main road (clementi road). What he did next gave me a shock. I was driving on the 2nd fast lane at a constant speed, since lights are all green. This SMRT cab without even bother to signal, veered his cab directly into my lane within a fraction of a second!!!! At that very instant, I was like “WHAT THE F**K?!!” The next few seconds, my adrenaline rushed, my hands and legs auto-piloted, managed to swerve my car to the first lane to avoid “kissing”. I was quite lucky at that point of time, as the comfort cab was driving quite slowly on that lane.

I have seen people changing lanes without signaling their intent a lot of times. These people think that the roads are theirs, and their skills are god send. I strongly feel that if they want to dig their own graves, do not implicate others. If people can learn to be more thoughtful and less self-centered, there will be a lot less accidents.

The second incident happened around 2315hrs, when I was driving home from Toa Payoh. I was driving behind a comfort cab along Upper Aljunied road (2 lanes). The cab all of sudden jam his brake, stopping his car in between the two lanes. I was like “Not again!”, swerved to avoid the stupid cab. I seriously cannot comprehend what he was thinking at the point of time. I meant, if you really need to stop urgently, you can drive to the side of the road and stop, and not recklessly jam brake for nothing.

The cab authority should increase the standard of cabbies.

Coincidentally all these happen on the first day of seventh month.
