BigMech Neutral Newbie October 3, 2010 Share October 3, 2010 well, it was nice of TS to give way to him. Kudos to that. I can't imagine any person who would horn and high beam every one in front unless it's a true blue emergency. Let's give him some benefit of doubt. Nothing to do with incapacity to deal with new power. My cars get more and more powerful; I also don't go around tailgating every bugger. Just keep a distance. But I've noticed a lot of jokes[note the word; not jokers but jokes.] tailgating me even when I'm cruising at speed limit in the middle lane. They need fodder for their low ego? kudos to TS too! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMech Neutral Newbie October 3, 2010 Share October 3, 2010 It depends... Usually when i took Sonata taxis .... Its much cheaper than Crown taxis... Reason is because Sonata taxis are much faster while Crown taxi is kinda slow... Esp during pick-up,etc... [shakehead] true! sonata is one of the powerful taxis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear October 3, 2010 Share October 3, 2010 how about making all Taxi drivers own their own cars rather than rent from taxi companies??? i think this really works....just look at those delivery bikers from fast food chains..... previously, the bikes belonged to the fast food chains, and not personal owned.....riders ride it uber recklessly..... but ever since they required the fast food delivery guy on bikes to actually own their own bikes..... things have changed for the better.....

Csnewbie 1st Gear October 4, 2010 Share October 4, 2010 taxi drivers also dont wan. Cos taxi companies likely to get discounts for bulk purchasing taxis. Individual buy up cost & will up fares. Servicing also difficult. (i sound like J22 alrdy) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i sound like J22 alrdy) many countries, the taxis are actually personal owned..... their job is a taxi driver....earn back the cost of buying the taxi, then profit from thereafter.....
