And what a ride!!! Of course, the driver/uncle was really friendly as usual, questioning my destination. It looked as though this is going to be another typical taxi ride, calm and serene. Not until that cab turned out from the CP, I realised that the driver may have played GTA with his kids or grandkids.
Ok, this blog post is everything about the ride, it was one of the best rides I ever had! Ok allow me to break it down for you. Ha~ Ok, first the cab turned out of my block. At CCK Street 62, there is a new EPS gantry being installed to a carpark entrance to 625/627. Unfortunately, its full and hence there was a long queue of vehicles attempting to wait and enter the carpark. In addition, there wasn't a way for the cab to switch lanes temporarily to overtake the long queue to drive on.
Driving Aggression #1: Cab driver sounded the horn so long without letting his palm go at the steering wheel's face. It was really long! The Benz in front jitao tio chua start to give way by steering the Kompressor to the extreme left of the narrow lane. The others followed suit! Meanwhile the cab driver winded the window down and shout "Move la!" in hokkien. In the end, we managed to get past this "obstacle" and he still ain't happy and sounded the horn yet again repeatedly. I was holding my laughter all the way in the cab!
We're finally en route along CCK Way! He's speeding along and everything is going smoothly and fine! Or is it so?
Driving Aggression #2: We're on KJE going to head towards Brickland Road and guess what? He's on free hand! Ok that's not the main thing about it, the main thing was a pick-up carrying gas canisters in it that just swerved in front of us. The driver immediately swerved to the right lane and sped in front of him and back into the lane. He even jam brake in front of that pick-up before stepping on the accelerator. I guess he forgot a young passenger in his vehicle. And also, there's a vehicle travelling quite slowly and we're tailgating it and horning it!
Driving Aggression #3: Finally we're on Brickland Road! Ok, normal to have heavy vehicle around because there're many heavy vehicle park along Jalan Bahar. Red Lights up front with 2 out of 3 lanes occupied with them. So he went to the one without it. And he was so impatient! Green Lights and off we go! He's swerving left to right with such minimal space! Top speed 140km/h! WTF!
Driving Aggression #4: Well well... onto Bt. Batok West Avenue 5! The road that contains many probation drivers. Ok, a pick-up was parked to aside and a under-study driver was on the 2nd lane from the left. Ok so of course we're on the 'moving' lane which has the under-study driver. He's so impatient that he went on the wrong side of the road to overtake it!!! OMG!
This 4 concludes the thrill ride. He's still as he is when I first boarded the cab, friendly. Guess he is going to release his bowels or something, he's going way to recklessly!!! All along in the cab I was giggling and sort, as well as bracing myself for an accident.
Congratulations Uncle for not having any accident today, not sure for other day though... maybe just a matter of time. I don't really stand for road rage-rs, I'm those who is courteous and cautious, I think?
