Shocked by taxi driver’s actions

10:04am Thursday 12th April 2012 in Letters

I HAVE long noticed that taxi drivers turn on to roads and approach islands without signaling and drive at whatever speed suits them.

However I was shocked to find out that a taxi firm could make a passenger get out of the cab when the driver decided he was going no further that night.

A family friend had to collect her daughter from the side of a road at night as she had run out of money on a fare that had been pre-booked.

To date the taxi firm has not commented.

Maybe to safeguard our children we should ensure taxi companies provide the service they are paid for and not accept shoddy practice.
