I have seen many private hire cars going too fast, all in a rush to make the next $
I don’t see you blaming those taxi drivers when they go at 120-130kmh on the express way?
Gaston Quek that’s because I don’t see them going at 120 to 130 kmh on the E’way
Thor MG I’ve experienced taxi drivers going 150kmh. And when the traffic camera up ahead or when they need to slow down, they jerked the car super badly.
