Do you know what taxi firm it was chav? You might have a weird loathing of all things 'taxi' but we have a number of mates out there trying to make a living tonight.

panther · 07-02-2007, 20:03

taxi's!! they are always speeding. is there 2 cars involved or just the one?

grego · 07-02-2007, 20:04

Is it the bend down the dip Chav? Some people drive like maniacs down there.

WillowTheWhisp · 07-02-2007, 20:16

yep right in the bend just before the dip and every time some idiot overtakes me there it has been a taxi

i dont think it was a bettys taxi although the entrance to bettys is just after the dip

to be honest i cant be sure what firm because unlike the driver of teh car involved i wasnt acting like a dick on the road and was paying attention to my driving especialy that part of the road

hope some poor passangers havnt sufferd because of this

Like Tinks said chav....your obsession with taxi's is getting worrying......

Hope no passengers OR driver were injured..........don't suppose people go out on a drive with the intent to crash

I can't belive the way people drive even though it's snowing or there's a risk of ice on the road. People think the more expensive their car is, the more safe they are in cold weather.

Was in a taxi Saturday night and he was driving like a maniac down there, also talking on is mobile for the first part of the journey.

you should have reported him Grego. Because it's drivers like these that give all the good Taxi drivers a bad name.

Yeah, you're right Slinky, though we were just glad to get there in one piece, he was a new driver, didn't know how much to charge us and his English wasn't brilliant. Dont normally have a problem with that taxi firm either.

Next time report the driver.

It's like any sevice!! If you're not happy with it complain. You wouldn't go for a nice meal and eat cold food then just get up and leave without saying something.

Not all Taxi drivers are bad drivers, and believe me being the wife of one....they don't exactly have the easiest job in the world. All the Knob heads of society get in taxi's, and it's not the safest job to do either.

BUT I would never hesitate to put a complaint in to the council about a UN-safe taxi or driver.....that's what the system is there for.
At the end of the day you could be saving someone else's life by complaining.
