Dear Mr. Tan,
I was shocked to come across this post by a taxi driver on a taxi driver's forum. According to the taxi driver, he got into an early morning accident by hitting the back of a cement mixer at 4.50am on the PIE. From the pictures he posted, the cab was severely damaged. Yet according to his account, the taxi company did not question the nature of his accident or driving. According to him, they "immediately" proceeded to assign him a new cab.
There has been much debate online about which taxi company is lax in sorting out their reckless drivers and taking them off the road. I believe this incident serves as an indication of how lax or stringent some companies are. We should look into how to control and eliminate such driving and administrative practices, not let them continue.
On another note, recently the LTA has decided to raise the maximum age of taxi drivers to 75. I believe this was "suggested" by one of Presidential contenders during the race last year.
