i'm a bit inbetween when it comes to taxi drivers
as i've known some very nice ones, especially the lovely bloke who drove me 9 miles home in the pissing rain at 3 a.m, after a row with my boyfriend, even though he knew i had no money. i told him if he called the next morning, i'd give him what i owed him, but he refused.
on the other hand(quite literally), a very good friend of mine was knocked off his bike by a taxi driver, resulting in the loss of his index finger. the company denied all knowledge of this driver. however, we knew someone who worked for them, who told us that the boss had told the driver in question to lay low for a month or two, until the police stopped sniffing around. the police caught him and both he and the owner of the company ended up being sued for quite a large amount of money.
