Use your cell phone!

I'm not the biggest fan of cab drivers.
Manly because they are:
Rude.
Dangerous on the road..
Impatient..
Reckless.

Not all cabbies are, but those of us who drive are witness to this everyday.
Well the other day I noticed a cab driver; race past another cab, honk his horn and dangerously swirve past the cab that was ahead of him.
Why did he do this?
Because the cab that was ahead of picked up 4 blind passengers and since it took these passengers a little longer to get in the cab had traffic blocked for 3 minutes.
This act of aggression sent me through the roof as a witness to this action. So I chased the cab down and got the cab number, called the cab company and reported this. To my contentment, the dispatch told me they were going to pull this cab off the street for the night and send the cabbie home.
So for anyone who witness such aggressive and dangerous driving from a cab.
Get the cab number, which is on a small plate usually near the licence plate on the trunk door, and call the company. Maybe this will make them respect the road. Now if there was only a way to make the rest of us drivers respect the road.

Marco, also call Metro Licensing with the details. They are always keen to get reckless cab drivers off the road. The cab company doesn't really have a vested interest in pulling any of their cars off duty.
