What makes a taxi driver good? Is merely having good driving skills sufficient? Well, in all truth, it isn't. Yes, excellent driving is one of the many positive traits of a competent taxi driver but a taxi driver also has to be conscious of their surroundings- the people who enter their taxi, the activities that go on in the taxi, the things that people carry with them and so much more.
Every taxi driver should know how to defend themselves at all times. Moreover, these recent years have seen many armed robberies on taxi drivers where cash, phones and other valuable items were stolen. Various weapons, including guns, knives and many more, were used in the robbery. The number doesn't seem to slow down, so it is high time to take your step.
