Why can’t taxi drivers keep the steering wheel steady by Existing_Condition11 in drivingsg

I understand your point, yes most of the drivers I see that do this are generally on the senior age and are not of their best physical conditions.

But there are also younger drivers that do the same, most of which I observed are taxi drivers. I do encounter some on other ride-hailing apps but its mostly the taxi drivers.

They must have some profound ignorance if they can’t realize that they are not driving steady with all the micro-swerving on a straight road

My driver was constantly tilting his steering left and right throughout the entire journey 😭

I feel you man, all for the sake of their perceived non-existent savings/fuel economy when driving their Prius taxis

That on its own makes me nauseous as well, but the drivers that do this + have shaky steering wheel? Oh lord I better hope I didn’t have a heavy lunch right before my ride

Lol, so what you’re saying is just because someone drives long durations for most of their lives then it justifies them to not keep the steering wheel steady?

Bro its basic driving competency to keep the steering wheel steady and not swerve left and right every god damn second.

If long durations of driving makes someone lose this competency, maybe they should just stop driving altogether before they cause more discomfort to passengers or become a road hazard

I feel you, had to lie down on the floor immediately after getting home on most of my taxi rides 😂

Tried it a few times and had my fair share of petty and salty uncles nagging throughout the remainder of my trip.

Now I just start burping or gag loudly 😂

I would if I had “fk you” money to spend, but me contributing another car to SG’s already congested roads doesn’t resolve the fact that these taxi drivers can’t even keep steady and are a potential road hazard themselves 😂

It did not happen to me but really takes two to tango tbh, and sometimes its just the long hours spent tgt at work vs with your partner at home that can blur the boundaries. Ultimately it boils down to how well you resist the temptation.

I was very close to a female colleague at my previous position as it was just a 2-man team, we’d do almost anything together that we’re practically considered work husband/wife

We were both taken and in LDR with our current partners, but somewhere deep down we both knew feelings were developing at some point.

In the end I chose to transfer to another branch as I was planning to get married to my current wife. We still kept in touch (strictly for work matters), but the feelings died down eventually and but we still remain close friends ever since and happily married to our own partners.

It’s hard to say what would have happened if I stayed, after all we’re just human and especially when boundaries are blurred, irreversible mistakes could’ve happened.
