Yeah we have all been in a taxi,
a lil story that happened about 20 minutes ago. I was driving home after a CFA callout (fire brigade) my mate, my mate is a p plater, and i were casually driving down a street to get to my house and here we see a car behind flash its lights which was a BA Wagon Taxi. We werent doing anything wrong, sitting on about 50kph in a AU i6. Then my mate taps his breaks a few times to basically say whats the go and anyway the taxi throws his indicator on and then boots it and my mate decides to give this taxi driver a run for his money and he decides to essentially say na mate not on. The conditions were raining and very wet and oily, This went on for about 50m and we decided that this guy was crazy and backed off, by this time we were about 1.5 car lenghs infront and bam went to about 140-150 in a built up area. We were amazed at his actions and hopefully he got a face full of highbeams up the hill. Coming from a police-hoon-strict town. Anyone else had experiences like this? |

Your mate brake tests him the accelerates to stop him overtaking, he is an idiot and worse than the taxi driver.
Another P plate menace that does not deserve a license. |

taxi drivers are angry think they are the best drivers when they cause half of the accidents on the road. You can drive aggresively but they drive like maniacs in europe.

Go find a mirror, take a good hard look at it then ram your bloody head against it. Then go and ask the local doctor about a vasectomy.

I'm not defending Taxi drivers but the fact that it was a Taxi is pointless. Why start a thread of TAXI drivers speeding after one incident. Then try and give Taxi drivers a bad name.
Maybe his wife just called him to say that something bad has happened at home? Do you know the full story? |

One word for you and your mate, and both are filtered by the swear filter I constructed.
