10.10.09 ~ more rants

Besides people who wants freebies, I really duno how bad my luck was. Was supposed to meet SL for a 3D movie at 9pm. However, I was late and the reason will be explained later.

I left my house at 8.30pm and if the taxi driver could drive a little faster, I would be able to reach there on time or 5 mins late. Guess what? Fate could be such a cruel thing. What arrived was a Crowns taxi (yellow top and black body). Can you imagine the speed that that taxi driver was driving? A safe 50 km/h and that speed was applied to both expressway and normal road. The driver got the cheek to say that he was driving very fast already when the speed limit on the expressway is 80km/h. BTW, he was driving on the 1st lane and was hoarding the lane where all drivers were overtaking him. Goodness gracious!

By the time I reached the cinema, the show had started. Can you imagine how I feel? What a day! I know that everybody needs to earn a living even for mature drivers. However, they may not realise that they could also pose a road hazard.

PS : For those who are driving Crowns taxis, these drivers are usually owners and are very mature. Yet driving at snail pace! Commuters beware! Usually these drivers are holding the steering wheel tightly and the driver's seat is usually shifted close to the steering wheel. The space between their stomachs and the wheel is minimal. Go figure in terms of safety issues in the view point of a commuter.

PPS : I had to chat with the driver so that I would not get angry.
