I fly jets all over the world and the most dangerous part of my job is the taxi ride to and from the airport !!
London cabbies seem to have it well sorted. They work a small area, know it like the back of their hand, are well presented and generally very pleasant to chat to.
It can be done !!
In Melbourne I will not let my family in anything but a private hire car now.
A cabbie would not let a mate put his bags in the boot. After some words he reluctantly opened the boot to find his relief driver sleeping in there..
