Russian Taxi Driver Flips His Car While Trying to Flee from a Small Fender Bender

If this Russian taxi driver isn't under the influence of some hallucinating drug or at least plenty of alcohol, then someone should give him an award for being this year's biggest nitwit behind the wheel.

Taxi Driver Shows us How to Impress Your Passengers with a U-Turn

Luc Besson, we just might have a new candidate for your Taxi franchise, if you ever consider making a fifth movie, that is.

While we're not entirely convinced that the yellow sign on the roof of the white sedan does indeed indicate that it's a taxi (we also see a grey-colored BMW 3-Series E30 Touring with the same sign crossing by), the intrepid driver should consider himself lucky for not ending up in the face of the Toyota Highlander.

Chinese Taxi Driver Makes New York Cabbies Look Like Cautious Old Ladies

Forget about crazy roller coasters and Disney World scream machines; if it is a real-life scary ride you want, just try to find out details about the man sitting behind the wheel of this taxicab in China.

We don't know if you have ever seen the dashcam footage that we stumbled upon by chance on YouTube and which, for the record, was filmed back in 2008 (you can’t watch them all on time, can you), but it sure left us pondering about many things in regards of the behavior of taxi drivers…

BMW Tool Power Drifts Tuned M6 Coupe Into a Taxi Cab and a Motorcyclist in Vietnam

A BMW fan club event that took place on the streets of Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City ( formerly known as Saigon) this past Sunday had an unexpected outcome when one of the drivers thought it would be a great idea to entertain the small crowd by power drifting his tuned M6 Coupe around a corner.

The owner of the matte-black M6, which is said to have some 700-horses lurking under its hood, lost control of the car and smashed into a park taxi van, narrowly avoiding its driver, but not the scooter rider that was located in front of the cab – fortunately, he was not seriously injured.

Dramatic Footage Shows U.S. Marine Brutally Beating Up Cab Driver [NSFW]

Working as cab driver can be an extremely hazardous affair, which is probably why some taxi owners have started to install cameras facing towards the passenger area in their vehicles.

The attacker was later identified as Gunnery Sgt. John Adam Kinosh of the MARSOC Special Operations School at Stone Bay.
