>>This is a true story. A few years ago my wife, our eldest son and I took a taxi from Vienna to the airport, and the taxi driver watched a soap while driving on the very busy motorway to the airport. After your "enlightenment", I understand that since the driver already had started to watch the soap before the drive started, he had a huge dilemma.

>What beats me is that you LET him! Or rode in the taxi at all. It's like getting into one with a drunk driver.
I agree, but...! First of all, we did not notice until the taxi was on the motorway and the driver turned up the volume. And secondly, we were in a hurry and we had already waited a long time before this taxi arrived. And to be fair, he listened mostly, I only saw him watching the screen briefly a few times.
