You say that, and yet I was in a taxi recently when we were stopped at a set of lights. The cab driver turned around and asked me if I'd mind him asking a question. I said of course not. He then asked if he was allowed to turn left on a red light. :o:o
Whoever passed him for his license clearly didn't check too hard, and apparently he'd seen so many other cabs do it he assumed it was okay. Thank-god he at least had the brains to ask me first.
