Topic: Dangerous Foreign Taxi Drivers

FUCK!

For the second time this week my drive home was almost turned into a serious accident by a fucking useless prick of a taxi driver.

The other day, whilst heading along K Road, the taxi in front of me was indicating Right..even though there is a large, clear sign that shows that turning right is forbidden at that intersection.

Does he continue through? No, he stops short right in front of me and starts to wait. I beep the horn several times and flail my arms wildly in the direction of the pretty 'No right turn, shit head' sign, and he finally moves on.

When we come to the next intersection, he is halfway through (with me following behind) when the light turns orange. Does he 'continue through if unsafe to stop'? No. He stops dead again. I am not expecting this turn of events, and slam on the brakes, just avoiding smashing into his rear end.

I reverse back, he does not. Cars come into the now blocked intersection and begin threading their way around him. he eventually moves back.

Right. So.. tonight...

Waiting at the set of lights that controls the Southern/North-Western Motorway entrance, I am in the far right lane, a taxi is in the lane next to me. As the lights go green, I pull around the corner into my lane. So does the taxi. What's that you say? "In YOUR lane went the taxi?" Yes. In MY LANE FUCK HEAD!

I pulled to the right and applied the brakes and the horn. The taxi swerved violently to the left and braked heavily.

I pulled ahead of the taxi, then slowed down so I could get its details. It slowed down too.

Heading onto the quite deserted motorway, I kept at around 60, and sure enough, he eventually passed me.

Anyone on the road, avoid North Shore Taxis...especially those with the license plate WF6483.

(Oh, I forgot to mention. Both drivers were of Indian/Pakistani descent.)

Hmm, obviously terrorists. Their aim is to cause disruption, confusion and fear. Welcome the war my friend.

Fuckers. Foreign taxi drivers are the worst. Most of them don't even have their license. We got in a cab once at Sky City (Central Auckland) and asked to go to the Viaduct (about a 5-10 min drive away). This guy didn't know where the Viaduct is then admitted that he'd only been in the country for a couple of days and was driving his cousins taxi!

On the positive side you have the body of the car to give you some protection.
It could be far worse, these immigrants could be practising medicine like they were in their previous country.

No wayyyy...a paki taxi driver? I dont believe you...

Hehehe, yeah I know what you mean. If I approach a cab and there is the slightest HINT of curry...well I'm moving on to the next cab.

Yeah "practise" is a good definition of what they do...they need to "practise" some more. The indian doctor I saw a few weeks ago was a shocker. Barely spoke bloody english, damn.
