So if you see a taxi waiting at a side road do you let them out?

I'm a very Christian driver and let a lot of people out but don't let taxi drivers out.

    I'll let anyone out from a side road, if I can accomodate them safely. There's a side road on the way to work always choc a block - basically because of all the school running going on - but you don't know if it's a school runner or some poor b'stard who chose the wrong place to buy a house. Nearly every morning I'll let someone out from there, (didn't this morning because I was running late. :D

    What in Heavens name is a Christian Driver ?
  • You missed an option! The one that says you don't let them out - they force themselves out.

    If there is a passenger in there, let them out.

    If he is on his own, no chance

    You should let them out, they might recognise you and return the favour!

    Apparently they have fish on the back of their cars.

    And that fish is meant to mean that the car is only to be used on the Sundays or the weekends? For insurance purposes - or maybe that's a myth.

    I occasionally let them out when I'm feeling accommodating. I hate not being thanked for letting people out though, especially taxi drivers. What's the accepted method of showing your annoyance when this happens? My sister hoots and they usually then raise their hand in thanks, but I just mutter under my breath.
