Cabby checks facebook on iPhone while driving one-handed

A STOMPer became concerned for his safety when the driver of the taxi he was in used his iPhone to log on to facebook, while driving with one hand.

Said the STOMPer:

"I took a Prime Taxi at about noon today (Feb 2) and this cabby kept checking his iPhone even as the vehicle was moving.

"I found out later that he was checking his FB account.

"I mean, come on! He's not even making an important call! Is your facebook update more important than other people's lives?

"How can he do this and endanger the life of a passenger? I think cabbies should be more responsible and not risk the safety of their passengers like this."

Just now outside bus stop B12 along Tampines Ave 7, 2 taxis stopped suddenly 10m or so before the bus stop. Bus sv3 on SBS902Z slammed on the brake in time to avoid hitting them from behind. I believe the second taxi was also caught off-guard by the first taxi in front. Really irresponsible taxi passenger and driver for stopping before a bus stop.

不惊
来自新加坡的出租车司机通常称为“猴子团伙”,优躲藏在丛林中等待“On-Call”的一个集团。否则进行各种有趣的东西来招待你。
