Do cabbies cause most accidents? Taxi driver nearly collides with car cutting lanes

STOMPer larrybird wonders if cab drivers cause most accidents after he encountered this taxi driver that tried to cut into the lane he was in suddenly, almost colliding with the STOMPer's car.

The STOMPer penned:

"There is a hypothesis going around that cab drivers are the cause of most accidents. I wonder how true is that.

"Today I realised it may be correct after all.

"I was travelling along Outram towards the CTE.

"I was moving straight in the third lane way below the speed limit due to a traffic jam when a yellow cab tried to cut the queue on the 2nd lane by cutting into the 3rd lane.

"Without giving me enough notice, he did not check his mirror for incoming cars around the blind spot and decided to go for the 3rd lane, causing a near-collision.

"He did not signal at all and he was endangering the life of his passenger.

"Lately we have seen a lot of videos of cabbies being reckless on the road.

"Looks like it is for real!

"I hope the traffic police can protect the other road users and that the cab companies will carry out disciplinary actions."

Wow! If others record you on your driving and report you to TP means a driver lesser on the road! Kudos!

I don't care for these arguments here. If I record cabbies doing anything stupid, I will not post the video on Stomp. They will go straight to traffic police. Once they get 21 TP or TVDL points, they become the safest drivers in the world.

@both of you.. If typing a lot & whining is considered keyboard warrior then everyone's a keyboard warrior then. Then do enlighten me pple who start giving others nicknames & changed their occupation out of nowhere.. Then what do u both consider them as..? Anyway.. I'm not gonna comment any further.. Post whatever you both want.

Now you both really reminds me of..
Those younger days while in school when kids lose an arguement then they start calling pple lame names.

Good day Mate. Enjoy ur 11/11/11..

Everyone can say & post whatever they like, whether you like it or not. That's the truth.
Agree to disagree..

@ kapostomper & johnedward.. Anyway.. carry on calling me a taxi driver/new driver. But i'm still very curious how on earth you both think that i'm a taxi driver/new driver?

@kapostomper.. Do take some time to RE-READ all my post & tell me when did i call pple names?

@johnedward.. I'm not saying don't horn. i'm just saying it's pretty obvious that the stomper did see the taxi coming out without signaling & he did not slow down too. If he wouldn't slowed down & a honk is pretty reasonable. Anyway.. both of you can call whatever you want about me. I'm not a keyboard warrior but just a normal guy who see things from different views & those who pluck things from the air & out of the blue call others a taxi driver. I'm pretty impressive with both of ur imaginations. FYI, who are you to ask me to STFU? What rights do you have? Not happy with what i comment? Either you suck your thumb & move on or you can like now.. continue crying over spilled milk..
