[quote=“redwagon”]Actually Llary, that fact has been established before via govt. figures. I forget the source now, but I have seen stats to back this up. I recall the numbers came up about 10 years ago when it became a matter of note that a disproportionate number of kidnappings and robberies were committed with a taxi involved somewhere as a getaway vehicle etc., and there was some discussion then about vetting the applicants for licenses. Of course nothing came of that.
Oh, and something like 80% of the drivers that have been incarcerated were in for violent crimes.[/quote]

I always thought that was just Michael getting a bit too exciteable though… please don’t tell me it’s really true?! I had a friend back in the UK who went through hell and high water just to get a taxi license (and that was for private hire, not the black street cabs). Maybe I should tell him to give Taiwan a try - Criminals Welcome ™.
