Who says taxis are safe?

Post by saka_ZXR »

Was on my way home from work about half an hour ago and saw a taxi from the local taxi rank rammed head first into a huge stone wall, the full of the front of the car was crumpled up, must have hit the wall at atleast 40. Dunno if there were any passengers in the taxi at the time as the ambulance was already there as i was passing.
If it's broke spray it with WD40, if it's still broke spray it again and leave it over night, if it's still broke, bin it.

I tend to find they drive incredibly slow, only once have i been with a twat taxi driver who was doing 60mph in a 30mph zone. All four of us in the car were stunned, he was in a real rush.

I know yeah theyre b****rds on the road, they pull out without warning thinking they're the only thing on the road!

I had one of them too mate, he had a proper lead foot, if there was a car doin 25 in a 30 he was edging out on blind bends to see if he cud chance it, safe to say i wont be ringing him for a taxi again.

Fair do's i wanna get home fast after a night out but i also want to make it home, preferably not in a box.
