if my car was in such a state as half these taxis were i would be pulled over and fined heavily with the possibility with points on my license yet no one regulates these taxis and they are supposed to be held up to more scrutiny because they are transporting teh public
lets not forget besides taking drunks home taxis transport children to school etc , speaking of which ive seen taxis pull up at schools and dive off with children stood up on the front passanger seat so that shows how well these new seating laws are been enforced
i dont use taxis as much as i used to because i passed my test but when they dont have lights working it can be hard to see them coming especialy at the speeds they are doing, i am no angel myself but at least you can see me coming lol
