Mini Cabs From HellWe've all taken a dodgy cab in our time. One guy asked me to give him a back-rub in exchange for letting me off the fare. I was like, "here's the cash mate." Another chappy claimed to be Paddy Patel - a child actor from UK TV series Tuckers Luck - he drove like a speed freak and regaled me with stories that "playing a black Irish boy. England wasn't ready for it." So go on - tell us your worst and we'll tell the world.
[edit: for those confused by the term mini-cab, London has two sorts of taxis: highly regulated, licensed and salt-of-the-earth black cabs that you see in films and a whole bunch of unlicensed, uninsured, random cars driven by nutters who aren't supposed to pick up from the street (you have to phone for them). They are universally rubbish]

eye tests in zimbabweVictoria falls zimbabwe, having been down the tourist market and bought too many wooden elephants and bush catapaults, myself and 2 friends flagged down a cab and jumped in the back with out checking out the driver.
This was our first mistake as when the driver turned round to ask us where we wanted to go he turned out to be so cross eyed that he could cross the road with out checking either way.
Our second mistake was all 3 of us breaking down with the worst fit of giggles as soon as he had pulled away. All 3 of us unable to stop crying with laughter only distracted the poor guys attention from the road because he spent more time turning round in his seat to see what we were laughing at than looking ahead / sideways (however he managed it) at the road.
the funniest most terryfing cab ride ever
