NYC Cab Driver Prefers Watching TV Over Watching His Speed

After the horrific incident that led to the maiming of British tourist Sian Green in August, and the recent news of the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission’s oversight that kept 4,500 dangerous drivers on the road, you’d expect better behavior than this from New York City cabbies.

(Yes, that’s a portable television resting on the speedometer.)

The cab was driving through Times Square, which, predictably, was bustling with pedestrians according to the person who snapped the photo. “This is how people die,” the tipster elaborated.

I apologize for using this format to reach out to you, but I’ve not had any success at trying to find an email or number for you. Can you please send me the details on this cab/driver, or your tipster so that we can quickly take the appropriate actions? We agree, this is unacceptable and will NOT be tolerated! allan.fromberg@tlc.nyc.gov
