Cabby Mohd Yusri, 30, was driving along Jurong Gateway Road at about 7.50pm last night when he saw white smoke in front of him.
He thought it was just exhaust from the cars in front.
But when other motorists kept honking at him, he figured something was wrong with the SMRT taxi and immediately got out, turning off the engine.
It turned out that the other motorists had seen flames licking the undercarriage of his taxi and were trying to warn him.

so young driver, once age eligible, go take VL and start driving already!
Fire started from undercarriage. Could be oil leakage getting onto the hot exhaust..
