we always blame the taxi drivers for driving dangerously.... I am guilty of that too BUT if you look closely..... the person who flags the cab can be at fault too
I saw once a couple flagging a cab at a junction where cars just made right turns... its so dangerous for the cab to stop n pick them up.... yet if the cab dont his income will be reduced.
some flag cab at the very last minute like as if testing the reaction of the cabbies.
but then.. there ARE some cabbies who are damn dangerous on the road.
-
think one of the reasons is tt they wanna pia as many trips as possible within their shift......earn money mah.......so they drive fast......make illegal turnings to pick up passengers at the other side of the road......
can understand lah....but i still hope they consider the safety of their passengers........ -

The bigger taxi's are 3litre diesel driven.While the smaller ones are 2litre diesel driven.
Not all taxi drivers are poor or reckless.Of those who are,you probably can attribute it to the long working hours on the roads.Anuone will tend to slack or lose a little of that full concentration when you spend 10 hrs or more on the roads.
As a driver,all you can do is to do you part and keep a look out for such recklessness in order to protect yourselves.There nothing pretty much else you can do about it. -
oh well... we can't survive without taxis either.

I normally flag for those taxi which is travelling near to the pavement and avoid those moving in the center or outer lane cause I've seen some actually stop in the lane suddenly to slow down and filter just to get me. Too dangerous lor.
