so the cab was AED41 and I gave him a hundred and told him I wanted the exact change, he told me he only had AED 50 so I took the hundred back and told him to come back to my work when he had the change and got out,

he pulled up after me and told me he 'had the change' and gave it to me.

I did tell him he was a wanker before I left though, miserable twat.

These clowns drive like lunatics. If they were that afraid of cameras....they'd not be blatting about like F1 drivers.

I'm taxiing daily at mo (buying a car is a risky investment right now)...and was in a taxi and they guy was roaring up the back of other vehicles and flashing his lights. I said to him "is that really necessary?"

He just laughed.

I'm convinced that if you warn them about a camera they'll slow down...and then speed up...and eventually maybe kill someone.
If you don't warn them.....they might lose their months income or whatever....but that's not a life lost and maybe they'll learn no?

At first I felt guilty....now i'm convinced it's only justice.

When I went to London last month, I've never been dropped to the airport so fast from where I live. Basically the taxi driver was setting off every single camera on emirates road. Maybe he was quitting that day lol.
