Taxi drivers are exempt from wearing seat belts for safety reasons
When I was a taxi driver and had a dodgy character get in I used to leave the seatbelt off so I could make a swift exit if I needed to.
Apparently it has happened in the past that a passenger has used the drivers seatbelt against him and wrapped it round his neck...
