any sportscar worth more than $696k should be given a speed discount of 69 mph.

Serious McLaren Sports Car SLM 10 Accident with Comfort Taxi at Yishun Ave 1@ St 81
- Thread starter shiokalingam
- Start date
There's nothing wrong with driving a supercar at 230kph. It's designed for high speeds. The taxi uncles driving at 80kph pose a far greater danger to other road users.
In Singapore roads, what ‘s the point of driving at high speed when every 50m away is a traffic light junction?
You don’t need a McLaren . You just need a Toyota cab .
You don’t need a McLaren . You just need a Toyota cab .
In egalitarian NZ I would agree with you.
However in Singapore it's all about image and image is everything in a Chinese society.
feel sad for 57 yr old cabby.

Most taxi companies here have taxis without airbags. -TNP

The New Paper
THE taxi driver who died in the Ferrari crash had no airbags installed in his taxi.
Following the incident, some netizens have been wondering whether airbags could have saved his life.
The New Paper found out that most taxi companies here have taxis without airbags.
Prime Taxi, which has a fleet of 700, is the exception - all its taxis have airbags.
And it will introduce a new Toyota Prius model which will be fitted with six airbags for front passengers and drivers by the end of this month.
Its general manager, Mr Eric Ang, feels that continuous upgrades are necessary to ensure the safety of its drivers.
He said: "Of course, it (upgrading of safety features in taxis) is costly. But our drivers' safety is more important."
A check with other taxi operators here revealed that older models of taxis have no airbags installed.
TransCab general manager Jasmine Tan had earlier told the media that its fleet of 1,890 older Toyota Crowns, which have no airbags, will be gradually phased out by 2014.
Similarly, SMRT Taxis director Tony Heng said that its older models will be "replaced progressively with new taxis that are equipped with airbags".
ComfortDelGro, the largest taxi operator in Singapore with a fleet of about 15,000, did not respond to TNP's queries by press time, but its Hyundai Sonata taxis reportedly have no airbags installed.
Passengers TNP spoke to were concerned about the lack of airbags in taxis. Most were also unaware that some taxis are not equipped with airbags.
Student Siti Nadzirah Hassan, 20, who takes a cab once a week, said: "I didn't know taxis have no airbags. I thought that was a basic requirement for cars.
"Now I do not know if I still dare to take taxis."
Taxi drivers TNP spoke to said they would like airbags installed in taxis.
Mr Tan, 48, said: " In the event of an accident, at least I know I will be safer."
Another cabby, Mr David Lim, 47, who has been driving for two years, said: "I have no choice but to continue driving (without airbags installed). I have to feed my family."
"Ultimately (it is) up to the taxi company to decide."
Another driver, Mr Chng, 57, cited cost concerns.
He said: "No airbag. But what to do? I believe the newer taxis will have airbags. But mine is an older one and rental is cheaper by $20 to $30."
Asked if he would pay more rent for a taxi with airbags, Mr Chng replied: "It's hard to make a living as a taxi driver. I would save the money for my family.

How otherwise you think Teo Hock Seng crony and buddy of Ong Beng Seng, owner of Hyundai franchise in Spore can quote low low to NTUC to get contract. There are other stuff missing on these Hyundais. Probabaly all based on African specs. Taxi uncle lifes are cheap cheap. You die your problem as long as NTUC can charge max rental so management can get their multi million dollar salaries and bonuses every year. No one is gonna miss a few dead taxi uncles anyway.
