... the rules of the road. They drive like every one has to give way to them!!!
I was driving the last weekend when I almost had an accident with another car who did not check his blind spot when exiting the expressway.
Another rant post.
I was going straight on the road when this Cab, who was exiting the expressway, just dashed out without warning of any sort.
This cab, instead of stopping and checking his blind spot before entering the road, he just drove straight out! No signal. No turn of the head to check for traffic. Frigging like he own the road!
I had to swerved into the next lane just to avoid a collision as hitting the brakes is not going to help!
So I horned him, swerving to the next lane to avoid him. Luckily there was no on-coming car in the next lane. Instead of being apologetic, he actually sped up, came up beside me and stared daggers at me! WTF!
We all share the same roads. Take the same exam to get our license. And the same exam also spells out the general rules of the road.
Some people just have no respect for the other road users. Or even respect for the rules that govern the road!
Sigh~~~!

Yeah! It's not just cab drivers but it can be any other drivers as well. However, most blame would fall on cab drivers since they are driving for a living. haha Whenever i'm taking my friend's car, he would always share his experiences with me as i can see what's really happening right in front of me too.. lol I really hate those drivers and i do hope they meet with an accident, but don't let them die.. lol

Hi ahgong, I truly agree with you...people are do disrespectful
of others on the road and I find taxi drivers seem to think that
they own the roadway....They are terrible and they don't even care
about the next driver...they act like the road belongs to them and
we are invading their space....They cause accidents and keep on going
like you stated...
Stay safe and be careful....
