A question for an Ex-Cab Driver! Was/is it true that it was illegal for a cab driver to wear a bullet proof vest?
I never heard of that, but it was illegal for us to even keep a butter knife by the front seat. We had to be completely weapon free even a butter knife. One cabby told me once he was cited for having a plastic butter knife on his front seat lol! Hey it’s NYC, we don’t want the criminals rights to be violated! He has a right to rob and kill cab drivers. I swear, there is no job on earth more abused by a government than NYC cabs. That’s why I quit, I couldn’t take it anymore. I was getting tickets almost every other day...Dropping someone off - ticket- picking someone up - ticket- with the excuse given I was “Blocking a traffic lane”...Well sorry there officer, but my taxi cannot float in the air.
