If you aint happy with taxi drivers to pick you up from home or work or whatever your issues are with them catch a train amongst thousands of others or hitch a bus ride. |

Ride a motorcycle through city traffic on a daily basis and you'll quickly come to realise that taxis are your worst enemy - the u-turns are the biggest problem.
White Van Man is second on the list. Then Mobile Phone Girl. Anyway, on topic - I wonder if some bunch of drunken bums just pushed it off the jack...

They're bloody dodgy alright.

Having worked in the taxi industry myself for 7 years (not as a driver) - I have seen both sides of the fence.
The problem is that not many Aussies want to be a cab driver and depots are struggling at times to put drivers into cars; albeit decent ones. Here's an interesting link: http://www.theage.com.au/news/nation...941402627.html

I think the taxi driver wants to show the world how much power his taxi has got by snapping all the wheels studs at once trying to rip a burnout! End result wheel disembarked from the axle!
