  There are 2 types of learning people, one is proactive type, learned before the actual happening, one is pre active, learned only when one get the pain, lost and burnt. But as long as you learn from your mistake, be it pro or pre, does not matter much. The worrying part is some die people can never learn even you burnt them alive, like gambling, womanizer, drinker, and so on.

  I always make sure td starts the meter. Reminded a few. Cos i hardly take cab so can't estimate fare.

  As I said, after a few times no start, you will feel the pain, because like my mentor cum brother ah fool said, you will be shortchanged by pax on the fare if you do not on the meter, with no meter, pax can even said, zero, that is how the laws apply. Same like you go supermarket, if cashier receipt come out zero, you also do not need to pay anything. But most pax are reasonable, they will pay a certain amount, and you cannot further argue because...it is your fault. So, as you go along and forget pressing meter, the pain of losing will creep into you, end up, die die also you learn to press..understand bo..that is how my mentor ah fool learned

  Drive taxi, dun go hardup for all these $2 or $1 stuff, like if CBD erp $1, I also chiong in, can take $3, you also gain $2, the most important is meter is running. Best is earning more than your mileage. If you achieve that, you are my discipline.

  Spoke with a nice td recently. He is a retired and drives as relief night shift for 5 days weekly. His target is $70 to $80 daily.  He advises me to try on Sunday since no bus lane operational.

  Dun talk to retirees lah, 10 old TD, 10 assholes, and I am one of them. Younger TD should talk to younger TD inorder to learn better, we net income $30 to $70 dollars one, forget it, you will become poorer and poorer by listening to them.

  The problem is young tds mostly enjoy chatting with ladies only. Most ignored me... probably they jealous abt my looks.

  Then later my lau char bor ask for $30, how? mai lah, how old already, still want to chiong meh, chiong still can, but after that, very tired, no power, no money and no drive, worst is kenna stuck...everyday call you, jialat. So to evade all these, I went to SPC toilet near kampong arang and PCC, then went for a break at the food court. Then after that, SPC uncle scolded me not to park at SPC for break, I farked him back, then get a call from MOUNTBATTEN SQ, first time go there and pick...3 pretty ladies, showed me an address on HP, Sengkang rivervale, then show me a card said that they are from the Deaf and mute association of Singapore, just next door only, whole journey very quiet and peaceful, poor girls, so young and pretty...if be my wife, good, at least no make so much noise like my lau char bor

  Hi All,

  I'm new to SGForum, and I can't find a recent thread on Traffic offences/summon.

  Anyway I am a seasoned driver I passed 10 years ago when I was 18, and I have a fairly clean record.

  Recently, my parents (who also have clean records themselves) and I have been recieving summons, for quite ridiculous things.

  For one, I have been driving along the Holland Village Flyover for many years without a problem, and suddenly I received a speeding ticket for crossing 10km/h which is 4 demerits.

  Now, out of the blue, I received another summon for Failing to conform to red light signal - $200 fine and 12 demerit points 

  Its at the Holland Ave x Taman Warna --> Commonwealth road (the traffic light opposite Holland Village Shopping Centre where you turn right at Pedestrian crossing)

  Funny thing is that I dont have ANY recollection of any camera flashes, or even turning when it was ember. 

  It was literally a quiet peaceful day, I was getting a coffee at baker & cook and driving home I wasn't in a rush or anything! 

  I don't know if I should appeal?

  I will still try my luck to appeal.

  So, your posting here is to tell us to Drive careful at Holland Village, do not beat red light, and drive calmly + dun drink and drive. Well, thank you

  There is no such thing as Luck in appealing, it is only yes or no.
