The driver was probably African. They drive like bats out of hell, and in addition, the photo on the hack license looks nothing like the person actually driving your cab. One of my most terrifying rides in New York was with an African driver who went berserk, ran every light up Madison, was going about 60 - and wouldn't stop when we told him to stop. Finally he reached traffic he couldn't get around and we threw money on the front seat, opened the door, got out and ran for our lives.
This is how it starts, with the Cabbies!
The YELLOW CAB FATWA!!!!LOL.
A minority of people refuse to enter a cab with anyone who is apparently Muslim these days. Bigots!!! ( sarc.)
"Police tracked down driver Abderrahim Lasba" - has anyone check his immigration status.
