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]

cripple in a cabme and 2 mates in ablack cab in that most ignorant of cities, edinburgh. It was a short journey 2 mins at most so when i got in i just sat in me chair thinking ill be alright refusing the time wasting of safety harnesses that the driver was quite in favour of.so im facing backwards one mate beside me on those fold down train seat thing another in fornt of them. The driver now decied to have a flashback to a earlier time when he was a f1 driver and proceeded to put his foot down go through several red lights nearly kill a young family and shout at them for just existing and we in the back (me especialy holding on for dear life) somehow managed to get through this racist pyscho driver from hell. Ill admit that we made the normally 3-8 min journey from princess street to ugc cinema in 3 maybe 4 seconds. Its the last time i ever say no to safety harnesses just because im damp.
