I dont have a gripe about taxis in general, but they do drive using a different method to the rest of us, for example:
:they approach junctions and put the bonnet over the line before they stop to see if anything is coming.
:they double park in the road either to pick up or drop off.
:they honk the horn to announce arrival, this is regardless of time of day or night.
:at two lane junctions they use the right hand lane and shoot forward, cutting in.

This is my observation, I am sure people can add to this list, as has been done with the creeping forward at lights.
