RTA: Taxi & MID Forester
-
pics from hwz forum
Will the SAF driver be sent to DB?
-
nothing new..
RTAs mostly either involve taxis or motorcycles..
-
most likely yes.
-
i think most likely db..
-
TP not at scene ah..
most of the time, they are the last to arrive one..
-
depends on his superiors.
if his superiors want to cover up, the driver would just get sol or extras.

When transport charge their drivers, they don't really care whether it was the driver's fault or the civilian fault. The driver will still have all the accumulated millage reset as well as made to pay for the damage to the vehicle on most occasions. He would be consider lucky if he was not charged already. Not fair but thats generally what happens to drivers involved in any accident.

Based on the picture,this accident seem to have happened at the the bus bay just opposite Yew Tee MRT station.
Driver sibeh suay,of all places to kanna,kanna at a place so near to the DB camp.....

so they expecting e driver to e brake to avoid e accident? e brake later behind car cannot brake in time and crash e MID vehicle how? or wat, swerve into another lane and potentially cause e whole road to be closed of a collison?I dunno wat the heck e Army wants. not their fault also charge. imagine if tis is on a serviceman driving his or her own car and is e same incident, so tio charged by TP lar?

Serviceman buang his car,only affect another vehicle or a few...."personal"
Serviceman buang MID vehicle = offense against the general public because it is paid with taxpayer's money.Hence the stricter rules.
I hope that the serviceman will be given a fair review if it is not any fault of his since I have seen some taxi drivers driving recklessly b4.
-
the taxi brake and swerve left coz' got passenger flag last minute is it?

maybe just a slight paint chip or wat lah..
usually big vehicles don't suffer much damage in a minor RTA like this incident..
-
I have had drivers having civilian cars banging a MID vehicles rear when the MID vehicle is stationary at the traffic light and the driver was still stripped of all his millage so how fair do you think MINDEF treats their drivers?

you dun get it, same accident but TP dun charge you cos not your fault at all. so why same incident diffierent set of outcome? if you have not caused any accident, why should you be made accountable for it? let e insurance settle it
pls la, if everything bring in tax payers $$, it's to no end one. cos for e cab, taxi co settle e bill, too many langa later excuse for fare hike?I've seen reckless army and taxi drivers before but if it's not your fault, he should not be even held accountable for it at all

this one it all depends, if you are very near e stop line and you just stop (when you should be clearing e junction) while behind car can't brake in time, it's your fault. tis kind of accident I've seen it before in my own eyes bef on a MID tonnerif you've stopped for some time and car behind bang at you, then it's diff story

I know what you mean,I find the severity of sentencing for a serviceman involved in such minor accidents too outlandish too.End of the day,as long as you are in green,there is nothing much they(the drivers) can argue with or against....

Regardless whether its the driver's fault, millage is immediately reset due to accident records. This is what the transport supervisor told me when i was inspecting the vehicle and base on the statement submitted to me, the driver was not at fault.

MID vehicles are really hardy thats for sure. Out of 10 accidents report i have to write, i think more than half the vehicle was not damage and i had to just charge the driver the minimal inspection charge with paintwork since i cannot submit an accident report saying no damage was found and no repairs were done.

nonsense lah, where got driver mileage reset such thing, it depends on ur camp lah.. for my side, accident as long as u can pay.. sua sua go.. everything resume normal..
