My usual driver couldn't make it this morning so he asked his friends to come and pick me up. I had already used Regi before and wasn't impressed and here is why:
1. He was late, so at 6am this urks me
2. He starts off like Jenson Button.
3. Across the road to the hotel is the F1 Race Track and the road in a few places has some pedestrian raised areas, you know they are about 10 feet wide. Regi races towards these and then slams on his brakes to save the shock absorbers, although he doesn't know what they are, he just does it! When there are no raised bumps he slams on the breaks anyway, just in case.
4. He says which way Sir? Either the Airport road or the new island way. I said ' take your pick, I don't mind ', so he takes the new island road.
5. We race along the highway, but every couple of seconds, he takes his foot off the pedal and then a couple of seconds later pushes it down again. So it's a stop start effect!
6. At the end of the highway we hit town and traffic lights. Regi slams on his brakes again and when the lights turn green he is Jenson again!Seconds later he takes his foot off the pedal etc - you get the idea.
7. There are road works and loads of lights and pedestrians crossing even at this time of the morning, with all the school buses picking kids up. Anyway we approach the lights, they turn red and then Regi hits the breaks. The Pedestrians see him and jump out of the way!
8. Sir! this is what I was telling you, this way is no good! (Ergh, When did he say this? I gave him the choice!!)
9. Then there is the crossing lanes of buses and Regi trying to get past on the outside, squeezing room between a bus and the concrete divide, oops! no space there so cut inside and around and then , yes you guessed it , screeeech at the lights with people jumping.
10. Eventually I got to work, ' Regi you are a crazy driver ' he says ' Thank you sir, very nice ' Didn't mean it as a compliment you idiot!.
11. Text my usual driver ' Don't send that crazy driver Regi again ' .
