Drunken unker wanted to beat me up
Permalink  

I have always gone all the way out to avoid drunkards by avoiding pub areas but suay suay this happened to me....

I picked up two men from Balestier Rd last Sat afternoon. It didnt occur to me the older man (60+ yo) was drunk. He was slurring in his speech and I thought he was intellectually challenged. It was after a while that i realised he was drunk. On the way to Toa Payoh, he started to hurl hokkien vulgarities at me for no rhyme or reason. I remained silent cos his younger friend (40+ yo) kept restraining him and apologise to me. When we reached his destination, he touched my shoulder to tell me to stop. I moved away and told him off, that he cannot touch me. Then he refused to get down the cab, kept throwing tantrum. I lost my cool by then, i screamed at him to get out. He then wanted to beat me up! What a f**king loser.

Had his friend were not with him, I would have kicked him outta of cab or drive him to polis station.

I have been thinking about this and decided I will stop my cab at a place with many people and get outta of taxi and screamed for help first and call police. That should work

a make shift stall beside the escalator on lvl one.

Interesting. I always thot about getting the front and back camera but afraid may get myself into trouble bcos passengers might complain. Are there any "official" restrictions on this ?

I think LTA does not allow it cos it's an intrusion of privacy. Comfort has an interior cam that is activated only when the distress button is pressed.

http://www.stcars.sg/guides-articles/motoring-news/comfort-cabs-being-fitted-with-third-eye/a/102113

Some info here:

When contacted, theLand Transport Authority (LTA)said it is in discussions with ComfortDelGro on installing the new terminals with inward-facing Web cameras in the vehicles.

An LTA spokesman said: "We have imposed certain conditions on the taxi company, such as ensuring that the video images will be saved securely and are accessible only by authorised personnel."

An LTA spokesman said ComfortDelGro will be required to demonstrate to the LTA how the camera works, and ensure "there is no intrusion of privacy", before the cameras go operational.
