Been a frequent taxi-cabber lately due to late-night supper after work, same for tonight too.
However, been a hell-night-rider just 10-minutes ago.
Apparently, this taxi-driver is on the way back to Ang Mo Kio and my trip home is his last trip before turning in for the night. So along CTE, there's this 'split' leading to Exit-3 and the other, back to Yishun. He began to brake quite occasionally, though not jam-braking, but it's enough to make me feel nausea due to the churning of the stuffs inside my stomach. After which, he asked if THAT is the way he should go although it's quite obvious to see the BIG YISHUN on the signboard. I supposed that he himself knew that he's falling asleep and therefore, trying very hard to maintain his direction, making sure not to cut across the line and caused inconvenience to other drivers, however indeed some drivers behind us got frustrated because I heard quite a lot of honks. Finally he made his stop at the traffic light(phew, what a relieve!), but no!, he began zooming in and out of his dream-land because I can see his chin getting nearer and nearer to his chest, and I still have to remind him that the light had turned green after 2-minutes. o.0! Being kind enough, I began talking to him, also to ensure that I'll be home safely. And so, here I am, safe and sound, though still feeling quite.. unwell.
Perhaps the company should invent or purchase a device which sent a soft electric-rush through the wearer when a slower heart-beat than the customised-set heart-beat was being detected. It shouldn't be a strong electric-rush to prevent driver(s) from jerking up from their dream-land and turn the steering-wheel 'accidently' or jam-brake which causes unnecessary accidents and invite unnecessary adverse-feedbacks from both the users and passengers. A must-have-rule should be implemented, if not a heavy fine, perhaps is the best way to keep both drivers and passengers safe.
Note: The above mentioned is only personal opinions which is not necessary to be done although we passengers need to pay a lot more than what we paid in the past.
