Dear all pls don't sabo n spoil mkt la lol
I also encounter such paxs,tell them no U turn, but std reply other taxi driver always turn why only U cannot.like the one coming fr west coast at junction of Commonwealth ave with Clementi rd
Tell them u kena okong recently cannnot afford to lose points. Paxs late ask me to speed them, I tell them I kena okong and see how...Not happy, they can complian lor cos end of the day who will kena if TP or LTA catch us....I got pax tell me I worst taxi driver, so??? We are only out to make a living....Dun stress too much....
For me, full-day bus lane and explicit no U-turn areas I would not violate the regulations.
The only rule I violate is the no stopping at within 9 metres of bus-stop rule. The way I see it is customer wait at bus-stop but decided already if bus come first, I take bus but if taxi come first I take taxi. Also it is actually safer and less-traffic obstructing to stop at bus-stop than at 9-metres away due to the concave kerbs. However I always ensure I would not be obstructing any bus if I do stop at the bus-stop always choosing to stop at the very end or behind an existing bus if there is no other bus coming from behind.
The rules were erected to make our roads more safe and minimize traffic congressions.
It is not you can, i cannot, it is the traffic rules need to follow. if he got any issue with the traffic rules, he may feedback to LTA or traffic police.
Sometimes I also make illegal u-turn but check to see no mata around first. If specifically no u-turn sign, then better not lah, could have camera there or what?
But it is not worth the risk except for desperate times.
My pax so far very good one, always remind me no u-turn, better don't go into bus lanes, etc...
Knn really waste of time n spoil my mood bcoz I hv to explain y i cannot turn n y other cars are turning blah blah. ...
Also need tolerate the unnecessary grumblings fm the cb pax as though iam taking a longer route to cheat them wtf!!!
Imagine the "feeling" wen u driving n they sit infront n behind grumbling n questioning y u cannot turn!!! Wahahaha
Takenote of the location Marina at Keppel Bay
U-turn not near hor must drive till the next junction

Lol, got one time, I blur blur did not see the Vivo sign and go drive there. Later saw it but too late liao, got to u turn, can't reverse, bo pian. Luckily bo tai chi, quite long ago.
Got another time, pax ask me to u-turn at Whampoa Drive to go to Value Hotel on Balestier Rd, forgot there is a no u-turn sign there and at the moment just did not see it, don't know why. Then go u-turn, kena horn and later realised alamak, no u-turn..
When I first started driving, very desperate, stopped many times to pick up pax in bus lanes, of course, making sure no mata or LTA officer around.
Heng, so far so good, sipeh heng.
But I won't do it anymore. now even buses got cameras to catch you. Won't be always so lucky one hor....

When people ask me to U turn on a no U turn road, I will tell them I left with 3 points.
Correct thinking....if exceed 23 pts license would be suspended for 1 week to 3 months. And must pay another $200 and lose 2 days of income to attend DIPs course. Total loss is at the minimum 6+2 days of income + $200 not forgetting time needed to surender license and pick up license. If one only makes $100 per day, then it is already at least $1000 gone + additional fines for traffic offense.
Aiya easy lah. Go in carribean condo uturn come out lah. Why need to go so far do uturn?

Some pax think their money very big. Even if they hired you as their chauffeur, you also must obey traffic regulations. Lan jiao lang cannot change their pattern one, just stop, call TP, ask for their NRIC and tell them to speak to the police first.
Originally posted by bowah:I think we hv no right to ask pple for NRIC nos, just call the police in will do, but I would said, most pax are OK lah, dunno why this getcarter alway kenna these lj paxs…sway lor
Haha
Think must go take flower shower la
If pax ask you to do illegal things like u turn, speed, stop at bus lane, then just tell them : if kena fine, who pays?
The day saw a lady flagging and she is in the bus lane during bus lane hours. Ignored her as I passed by but saw in rear mirror a CDG cab went in and pick her up.... gian png driver LOL
i don't entertain such requests. its like asking us to flout traffic rules at pax convenience. when summon letter comes, who bears the penalty?
everywhere there's CCTV, don't try your luck.

We self-employed so we all determine ourselves whether we want to take the risk and violate the rules. In the newspaper a few months ago already stated that LTA takes a very strong stand on no entering of bus lane.
So kena caught is I think is $130..... not quite worth it to violate.
