My issue with taxi has always been the scams, not even the long detours.

The local law requires that the taxi must take credit card and/or debit cards. If the machine is broken, they can’t take customers till it’s fixed.

30% of the time they tell me that the machine is broken and they want cash. When I say I don’t have cash they offer to drive to the ATM so I can take out some cash, while still on the meter of course. When I asked them to turn off the meter to take me to the ATM, they say it’s illegal.

yeah i refuse to take taxis on principle because they are so scammy.

i’m a pretty pushy person and they give up but it is draining nonetheless

I realised that as a socially anxious person who wants to be more confident, an LLM might come useful in summarising the local law to this effect quickly and especially the right steps to take.

why would you feel confident repeating words you didn't write citing laws you dont know to a person youre afraid of?
