If nothing else his boss will tell him to pay closer attention to what he is doing. Plus - he works in customer service. As a customer you need to let the company he works for know about the service he is providing whether it is good or bad!

As we age our senses get weaker and reaction time increases. In my view you could ask the cab company to get medical fitness test of the concerned driver done. If he is found fit, then his past driving record could be taken as the reference point.A clean record should go in his favour and he should be given another chance. A polite warning should suffice at this stage. Nobody is a perfectionist and we all have bad days. I would also point out here that a cabbie's job is very monotonous and thankless with insufficient income. All these factors build up stress which too could lead to erratic driving behaviour.Everything said,i still feel that the lives of other people on road is equally important, so a polite warning is must. But it would be my thumbs down to a formal complaint.Deepak Sharmahttp://www.clickedbychance.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-28814515427958444452010-12-21T20:09:17.982+10:002010-12-21T20:09:17.982+10:00His age, race etc. are nothing to do with this sit...His age, race etc. are nothing to do with this situation, and are sure nothing to use aghainst the man (not that i'm saying you ever would) it is the safety of the people he drives around that matters, and that should not be forgotten when thinking about this incident. Yes, he could have been having a bad day, doesn't everyone?, but with a job where lives can be ended by a simple slip up, everything should be done to make sure they don't happen again!<br /><br />You should complain, but you don't have to mention any names or discriptions, then the whole company should be made aware of the dangers a tiny slip up can cause!Laura.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17651507666214480268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-27061609344408737932010-12-21T10:52:06.973+10:002010-12-21T10:52:06.973+10:00Anyone of any age or ethnicity can be a bad driver...Anyone of any age or ethnicity can be a bad driver. Cab drivers I think tend to fall into the same trap as all the rest of us do at work, becoming complacent. He was probably on auto-pilot in his brain. I don't know how it is there but here if I were to report a cab driver, not much would happen. So I would report him and hope that it just puts him back to being more "aware" of whats going on.CraftyDemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265868474318660896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-53826422849349522372010-12-21T07:26:32.288+10:002010-12-21T07:26:32.288+10:00I don;t know how things work in your country but i...I don;t know how things work in your country but i don't think you should report him.It might just have been one of those days for the cabbie man.Lenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155594790953693633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-29281201744545142882010-12-21T04:55:16.463+10:002010-12-21T04:55:16.463+10:00hmm, thats actually a tough choice. both sides hav...hmm, thats actually a tough choice. both sides have strong arguements and it could fall either way.

Seriously - that's why we didn't have to wear seat belts while we were carrying passengers when I drove, back in the eighties and early nineties. (The rationale was that drunk, nasty passengers posed more of a danger than accidents, and the Cabbie's Guild actually had good, solid stats to back that up.)<br /><br />However, that's not the reason I say "don't report". The main reason is simple: the cab companies didn't give a shit back then, and I can't imagine any reason why they'd be more concerned now. Your report would go into the circular file, and you'd only be wasting your own time.<br /><br />I'm sorry to say that, naturally. But, you know - there's better things for you to be doing with your time.Flintharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456024642528783549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-77688589021470210642010-12-20T18:44:40.393+10:002010-12-20T18:44:40.393+10:00It's possible that he had a bad day... but thi...It's possible that he had a bad day... but this is really not an excuse. <br /><br />The age can be a reason here. Older peoples responses are not as good as young ones. I think that older drivers are often very dangerous and shouldn't drive.<br /><br />The answer: I think you should report him. Yes, maybe he just had a bad day but this is not an excuse to risk your life. Yes, he may loose his job but it's better for him loosing a job than "killing" someone in an accident.Starlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744373842226110455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795390.post-55857820338572789642010-12-20T18:27:22.697+10:002010-12-20T18:27:22.697+10:00There are no honest mistakes when people's liv...There are no honest mistakes when people's lives hang in the balance.

Longer answer: If you truly ...Short answer: YES!!<br /><br />Longer answer: If you truly think he is a risk to his passengers and others, you should advise the company. They probably wont react in a decisive way on a singular complaint. However, if they have a number of issues that have been raised, they can use the evidence to initiate their company actions.<br /><br />Age, gender, race, colour and creed do not have a bearing here, rather the safety of others.<br /><br />I would feel no guilt in calling or emailing the cab company. In fact, if I did not, and something untoward occured, that would be hard to deal with.<br /><br />If you make a complaint/report, then it is then up to the company to undertake the appropriate actions and afford judicial prudence in dealing with the matter. You cannot own that responsibility as it is solely theirs.Rastas000https://www.blogger.com/profile/07006523697100621491noreply@blogger.com
