A taxi driver gone wrong in his driving business

[Starmix]

Even if you are a taxi driver, you need to follow the legal laws. It's crucial to violate the traffic laws of the land apart from the licences like driver's licence but also the spare parts and accessories of the car.

Two months ago, I hired a taxi for work. My car was in the shop for maintenance safety. It took only 4 hours because there were 4 cars ahead of mine so I went to work by hiring a taxi. That morning it was raining so hard. I sat in the front seat and noticed the taxi has no wiper. The driver wiped the glass shield using his towel. I told him to operate the wiper he said damaged.

There was a heavy traffic and the glass so blurred and all of a sudden from nowhere, a highway patrol knocked the glass and the driver was in panic. The high way patrol checked the wiper but he found none. The side mirror was not fixed.

The high patrol confiscated his driver's licenced and issued him a ticket for penalty fee. He was instructed to report to the office of the LTO the next day to settle the matter.

I have learned from the other taxi driver whom I interviewed that the said driver was suspended for driving for failure to comply the traffic laws. No one is above the law, we need to operate legally.

It’s dangerous, and I’m glad you weren’t in an accident. Drivers need to be responsible and follow the laws to avoid penalties and accidents. I hope he learns from his mistakes.

It was so timely; we stopped on the highway because of the traffic. I was in a panic at that time. The front glass was so blurred, and the driver was in his middle 50s.

As long as you are making money, you have to follow laws. Once you make money, you are liable top pay taxes and follow all laws.

Making money must be done legally and follow the laws and regulations especially if the business is about taxi rent. Eyes are watching us once we manage a business.

Yes No body is above the law and rules on ground provided you are human but people just like to flout the rules and get themselves into huge issues

They think that because there are many people here and there they will not be caught with their wrongdoings. Life without illegal activities is at peace.

We have a lot of them like this in my country, they just do things recklessly and drive anyhow they like without any regard.

The said taxi drive was not able to pay the huge penalty. The cost of his taxi wiper is very small compared to the amount of his penalty. It's not good to be insensitive in dealing with business. One wrong move means a hundred fold regrets.

No offense but it's a good thing he was suspended from driving. He could have gotten himself and his passengers killed.

There was a heavy rain that afternoon but the driver didn't replace the broken wiper. I was indeed terrified. I cannot go out from the taxi due to the heavy rain Flood also started to scatter in the road.
