And of course, passengers also play a part when they just want to drop at any place at any time, apart from dropping at expressways 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the part about many cars honking. Sounds more like only the cam car honking. seems anything on Stomp is exaggerated with hyperbolic titles. Like the previous post about the Renault Megane... "and then speeds off"... the Megane moved off slowly with hazard lights indicating that he seems to want to pull over....... well maybe he "speed off" after the video cut out... but still, Stomp really seems to just exaggerate for "newsy-ness"... I won't be surprised if I submit something like "two cars have accident at junction"... become "two drivers involved in head-on crash"... crash is a stronger word Edited June 15, 2015 by 7hm 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzy Twincharged June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 It is an option...[very expensive]. Oops. Didn't realise that. So far all the newer mercs I sat in had it. The driver can practically let the car drive itself of the expressway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the Taxi driver had got enough time to cut infront of the car and the Taxi on his hazard light. The taxi must stepped the brake as he was stopping. From what I saw, the cam driver too impatient and it was impolite to honk at the Taxi. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most taxi driver don't want to risk not being paid by the passenger so they'd rather listen to what the passenger say than care about the cars behind.
