I do not believe this for a second

I simply do not believe that. The drivers go through EXTENSIVE background checks, driving courses and numerous other requirements just to be able to drive. There is no way after doing all of those things someone throw an object at your daughter.

Reckless Cab Driver

by RLW16 at Citysearch

At approximately 2:45 PM on Wed. 08-05-09, I was driving North on IH-35 toward my home in Round Rock, TX, and was just coming into the South end of Round Rock, when I saw a Yellow Cab (Mini-Van) whipping in and out of traffic, and at one point, was doing approximately 90 miles per hour. He cut in front of a number of vehicles, in effect “cutting them off.”

He then went for the Highway 620 Exit, cutting across four double lines (against the law), and cut off two more vehicles. He turned going West on Highway 620 and was speeding and whipping in and out of traffic all the while, and talking of the phone the whole time.

Unfortunately he got held up in slower traffic, and as I almost got up along side of him (with less than 1 ½ car links between me and the car in front of me), he suddenly whipped in front of me, nearly causing me to have to go head-on in the oncoming lane to avoid him. When I flashed my lights and honked my horn, he began shaking his fist at me and shooting me the finger !

I became so mad that I motioned him to pull over so I could pull him out and whip his a$$ ! He never would pull over, and kept whipping in and out of traffic, cutting off more drivers.

This man appeared to be a foreign national, and apparently that’s how they drive in the country of his origin, but this type of driving is strictly unlawful in this country. The man is going to cause a serious accident someday, and someone will be seriously injured, or worse ! If it happens to be someone in my family who is hurt by this man, I’ll not only see him personally in court, but will also see the Yellow Cab Company there.

It would be in the best interest of Yellow Cab, NOT to hire this type of driver. If I were riding in this man’s cab and he was driving in this manner, I would demand that he stop and let me out, no matter where it was !

At the very least, I personally, will never ride in a Yellow Cab, and I’m telling all my family and friends about this incident.

Good luck to Yellow Cab in the future, they’re going to need it !

Road rage drivers and glass projectiles...‎

by Manwich at Citysearch

One of the drivers got road rage when I didn't excelerate my automobile the millisecond the light turned green. After honking and swerving violently into traffic trying to get next to me, he threw an empty glass bottle in my passenger window which collided with my 14 year old daughter's head and zoomed off in a cowardly escape. I didn't get the number of the cab because I was tending to my injured daughter, so I suppose they win...this round. All I can do now is ask you, the good citizens of Austin, to spurn Yellow Cab as you would a rabid dog or pedophile, and maybe write some angry letters as my family and I are planning to do. Thank you.

• Pros: None
