bloody taxi drivers are all the same

at least some are decent enough to have a bit of chat/banter with when youre getting a lift home half cut.... the rest are just knobs 24/7

Well not all Taxi drivers are bad, I drove for 4 years in Berkely, Oakland and SF for a laid back potsmooking hippie cab company called Taxi Unlimited There was Yellow cab, Luxury cab, Arrow cab and some I forgot the name of in the area and we had the lowest accident count of all, during the fours years I worked we had two fender benders with no people hurt. The annoying drivers at that time was mostly Caddilac drivers who really thought they owned the streets and could park in the most stupid places blocking traffic etc.

yeah, the private hire drivers are cockends in general.  They tend to be clueless f****s to a man.  That said, the trip from the Airport to the centre of Kracow yesterday morning was almost as good as a rollercoaster.   If you like GTA3 you would have loved this guy.  He was slamming his foot to the floor in an E240, and Ive driven them so I know how quick they can be.  Where I live we also have a railway bridge that the road goes under.  Ive been almost all the way through and had a taxi driver try to make me go back, and its pretty regular to have arseholes try and make you back up there.  Ive got out of the car and lit a cig up before now.
