30 Vendetta - Taxi Drivers

I hate taxi drivers.Can't they drive properly?

When was the last time a taxi driver swerve into your lane, or driving errantly around you? Minutes / hours ago? And the worst part is the traffic police are not penalising most of them. But if you are driving a car, that makes a difference?


Logic? No, just compassion. Compassion that taxi drivers are earning a living and if they get caught, they probably lose their day's earnings. But this compassion is not going to save lives. Instead it is going to destroy more.


Anyone heard the news about the ACS captain who got knocked down? By who? A taxi driver. His world was shattered. From a national rugby player to learning how to walk again.


My point is, Taxi drivers are reckless and they are not repentant. Even though they see news of their comrades knocking down people, they continue to drive the way they were driving before. INCONSIDERATE, RECKLESS, SELFISH, YOU NAME IT.


If possible, I would like taxi companies to set up a posting website so that drivers can post taxi driver's car plate no. on their website and they can be blacklisted. It's up to taxi companies if they want to take action.


If you know that you are dying today, please book a taxi for the whole day.
