Taxi's

I had to travel to Osborne Park today for work by taxi. It scares me, the condition of some of these taxis.

On my return journey to work, the speedometer did not seem to work unless he was sitting over 80, because anything under that speed and the needle was jumping around like mad, the fuel gauge was not moving off empty & the transmission was stuffed!

The driver pulled out in front of a truck that was bearing down on us pretty fast, and being an automatic, it should have picked up speed fairly quickly, but it felt like it had stalled and was chugging along.

I'm glad it was only a 20 minute drive back to work. Anything longer and I think I'd have preferred to take my chances on a bus!
