A taxi driver and a motorcyclist clipped each other along Airport Boulevard, but the former allegedly kicked the bike in a fit of anger.<\/p>\n
In the video uploaded on SG Road Vigilante on Wednesday (March 18), both the cabbie and the motorcyclist take a left turn, but as they turn, the taxi crosses into the motorcyclist’s lane and they have a minor collision.<\/p>\n
The video then cuts to the motorcyclist on the rightmost lane further down the road as the taxi catches up from behind, overtaking the motorcyclist from the left.<\/p>\n
Hailing the rider to stop his bike, the taxi slows down in front of the motorcycle, forcing both vehicles to a standstill.<\/p>\n
While the video has no audio, the driver can be seen gesturing angrily as he approaches the motorcyclist.<\/p>\n
He then points at his own vehicle, inspecting for damage on the taxi’s left flank.<\/p>\n
The video then cuts again to the cabbie turning away from the motorcycle, delivering a swift kick against the bike.<\/p>\n
He walks away, then turns around again to confront the motorcyclist, shouting at him again before walking over and kicking the bike once more before the video ends.<\/p>\n

According to the Facebook post, the motorcyclist said the incident took place at the split road between Airport Boulevard and T3 Departure Drive.<\/p>\n
He highlighted that this stretch of road is particularly difficult to drive on, with “no one” being able to keep to their lane at the bend.<\/p>\n
“It was also my fault because I didn’t stop immediately after the collision,” he added.<\/p>\n
“I think I was in shock for a good few seconds while I kept checking my leg for injury.”<\/p>\n
“This probably made me look like I was running, guilty, and that the accident was his (taxi driver) ‘win’,” he said.<\/p>\n
He allegedly attempted to signal to the taxi driver that he wanted to go to the carpark ahead to stop, but the driver declined.<\/p>\n
“He decided I needed to stop right right now, so he sped up and swerved to force me to the right and jammed brake in front of me.”<\/p>\n
The motorcyclist claimed that he tried to exchange contact details but the taxi driver rejected his request.<\/p>\n
Responding to queries from AsiaOne, a ComfortDelGro spokesperson said that the company is aware of the incident.<\/p>\n
“We do not tolerate such behaviour and the cabbie is no longer with the company,” the spokesperson stated.<\/p>\n
