Traffic Accidents involving Taxis

Heard over the radio that there were 3 traffic accidents involving taxi over last week. That reminds me of the minor horrible experiences I have during a taxi ride:

1) First happened at night, which I was going home and travelling along TPE, as there was little traffic, the taxi driver was going at 120km/h and he even put one of his leg up. If there is an emergency, how can he have enough reaction time to put down his leg to stop the taxi in time?

2) Second time, JY and I were on our way home from Singapore Expo, the taxi stopped at the traffic light, the moment the traffic light turns green, he didn't even look up to check if the van in front has moved, he just step on the cluth and the accelelator and *BUMP* hit the van in front. He still got the cheek to ask for the taxi fare from JY........

Horrible experiences, that's y take taxi only when absolutely necessary.
