we have to be careful here what we say regarding how taxi's are driven  ::)

Interesting shot there, wonder how he managed that. Maybe avoiding something that came out in front of them?

Not bad considering you spend all day on the road really, i had a prang when i was 17, i was reversing and was looking back, forgot to check the front and swung the front side into a post. Ooops!  ::)

Learnt my lesson though, check the front and back when reversing!

I know that as in Bury, in the early hours, they just put their 'I can park anywhere I like lights' on and park up in some stupid places - on yellow lines, next to traffic lights. (Wigan/Dean Rd)  >:(

Obviously taxis in Swindon aren't driven/parked like this!  ;)

Last time i crashed a car it was my merc.....the base operater was calling me (not usual as work get sent over a data box) asking me time for pickup..location/etc.....so i was a bit distrated....i pulled outa a junction without double checking it....straight into another car  :-[

Toyota should have guessed!

That rear light cluster to me looked like a Saab.

Shows Citroens are cheap for a reason!

Funniest bit was the woman running out of the house screaming "I was f-ing sat there." as though the guy intended to do it.

I agree actually some taxi drivers do pull up in stupid places.......but having said that sometimes the customer says ' stop here drive' so its sometimes difficult to please other motorists and the customers....plus did you know you are allowed 5 mins on double yellow lines?

I had a taxi driver crash into the back of me a year ago. "sorry, I was on my radio"

That's a good excuse for.....I wasn't watching the road at all, but the police incident that was in progress :y
