It involved a taxi?? can make some wonderful assumption about who caused this accident.... lets see did the cab just stop for no reason at all? Was the cab cruising at about 5 and then speed up to 45 for no reason at all? Was the cab running the light because they all feel that yellow just means drive faster.....Was the cab driving like it's cousin the Jitneys and just didn't GAF about anything else on the road at all? One of these assinine assumptions is probably right is the sad part

Dido! I must admit that I am no fan of taxi drivers. They almost disgust me as much as Jitney drivers do.

Actually I know the other driver and he is the cause. His licence should have been revoked years ago.

I know the other driver and that he is actually the cause of the accident. I know it's tempting to jump to conclusions but this man will not wear his glasses and is obviously suffering from dementia. I suggest we retest older drivers for vision and reflexes at the minimum. Just because you have a driver's licence doesn't mean you should be driving.

Lord, the last thing we need is taxi crashes ........ gives the tour operators more reasons to take away their business.
