If this ever happens again in the future, take a note of the cab's number and call 311 or go to http://nyc.gov/311/.

They take reports of this kind of activity very seriously and will usually prosecute the driver if you're willing to testify.

I believe you can testify via a phone call and it takes roughly 10 minutes.

And how long does it take you to schedule that phone call and fill out the appropriate paperwork?

[gaadd33]

Maybe about 10-15 minutes depending on your reading level and ability to fill out a web based form?
