Taxi drivers do the wildest things

Behind the wheels for almost all the time they are awake, they have the most experience in driving, and it is so that they think they are the king of the roads.

They do many things. Some heroic, some stupid, and some just plain dumb.

Yesterday, I saw one squeezed through 2 cars in a 2 lane road. Wonder how many side mirrors had he damaged before mastering this skill.

One of the most dangerous times was when the driver drove into a road, in the opposite direction. Then slammed the brakes when he saw an approaching car. Thank God I'm alive, I mean Allah, no, Buddah. Heck I am free thinker.

They always like to talk. Its alright to be talking throughout the whole journey, but its not if he is scolding. Once my friend forgot to close the boot, and the driver scolded him all the way from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay.

Another mad driver drove at 120, in addition to going left and right, in and out. The driver was a female. Awesome.

And one had his car decorated with many (keyword: many) statues, and was listening to scriptures while driving. So spiritual, so Buddahic.

There they are, roaming the streets now.
