The Almost Accident
I was on the way to Parkway Parade to have dinner with A. I had to travel by ECP from my office. At 6+pm, the traffic in ECP is bad. The Jam stretches from Keppel to Marina Vista. I was cruising with the traffic on the Lane 2. All I remember was drive, slow down, stop, drive, stop, drive, slow down ..... and stop. I was somewhere near Tajong Katong and I look at the rear view mirror, suddenly I saw this taxi coming towards me quite fast. I know I had to do something, I quickly move a bit forward though there is a car in front of me but luckily I kept a distance that allows me to do that.
The next I heard from the taxi was screeching sound and the driver horned at me.
Hello!!!!!!!
U are in a traffic jam and you horned at me!!!???? And the stupid driver did not even watch the traffic carefully. He almost hit me. Luckily, no accident. I continued with the journey and changed to another lane to avoid him.
That reminds me of another Almost Accident.
I was driving along St Andrew's Road (in front of City Hall Padang on a Saturday afternoon going towards Raffles City. The traffic light at the junction of Raffles City and Singapore Recreation Club turns red, so the cars come to a stop. There was a taxi on my right lane decided to switch into my lane and I move to his original lane. But the car in front of him was too close and his car is not able to move into the lane fully and his butt is sticking out into my new lane. So I had to stop just behind him. There was a Camry behind me driving slowly and eventually stopped behind me. While waiting for te green light, both Knighty and I suddenly heard a screeching sound and a loud bang. Apparently there was another taxi just do not know how to see the traffic condition and couldn't stop in time. He wacked into the Camry behind me. I was lucky that the Camry did not hit onto me to create a chain reaction. I left the Camry driver to strangle the taxi driver.
