Frankfurt taxi drivers

Do these people actually have driver’s licences?

Do they EVER follow the laws of driving?

O.K. Before I go on I want to tip my hat to the few drivers who are gentlemen of the road – I have met a few – although I think they are a dying breed.

On Friday I was driving down the A5 toward the Frnakfurter Kreutz junction. I am on cruise and it is set to 99 KMPH – in a 100 KMPH zone.

Cars are merging in from the right from the A638 junction – so I indicate and move into the middle lane to allow them to join freely.

One taxi however is not content to just joint the inside lane – he keeps moving out, without indicating, into my path forcing me to swerve into the outside lane – where a taxi that was follwing him to join the A5 – has swept behind me and was then overtaking (of course taxis are not restricted to 100 kmph and with big powerful Mercedes can accelerate at full power) . So he got upset that I was forced into his path.

Both of them then proceeded to box me in and break sharply in front of me – not once – but three times. I guess they wanted to teach me that whenever I saw a taxi I should run for cover and realise that they OWN the road.

I was forced to pull in behind an articulated truck for protection.

Taxi drivers – go to hell!!!!
