Damn, but given all that, how does everyone else drive? Is it the taxis being especially reckless, or is there a car culture of recklessness because the police aren't around enforcing traffic rules? In most asian countries, at least, if the taxis are reckless, everyone else is also.

;o) Taxis are worst. Everyone else has much more respect, although, everything that is done by taxi drivers can also be seen from others, but rarely.

Police does not have sufficient personnel to catch them all. But I think, because with their drivers license taxi drivers would lose their job, the police looks away much more (this is a pure guess). Taxi drivers are also well connected and have their police info system. That is a fact,as you hear it, when you use a taxi. There is constant exchange about traffic control over radio.

Do the uber guys have a taxi driver background and are used to being reckless? :o)
