Dubai taxi doors
hi all
possibly a silly thing to ask but why do loads of taxis only unlock one of the back passenger doors when you get to your destination? it really bugs me when i have to crawl over the seats to get out because the driver cant/wont unlock the door on my side any ideas??! |

Re: Dubai taxi doors
It's also an RTA offence to do so and can result in blackpoints and fines.

Re: Dubai taxi doors
101 and 117 are so serious they are the same.
Imagine if you got fined and impounded for 101, then they decided to repeat with 117. If I was a rozzer, I'd do stuff like that for shits and giggles. |

Driving wihtout plates seems to be twice as serious as causing a death...

Boss, please can you.....*insert solution to stupidity* if that fails, 2. Excuse me, please can you....(a bit sterner) 3. Listen, if you don't stop XYZ stupidity, I'll ring the RTA whilst I'm in the car with you. What's your taxi number? Personally - I've got to number3 once. I prefer not to give them a hard time because so many people do, but when you're not in the mood and they're being a prick....number2 is perfect. A stern ticking off |
