Vancouver Taxis... ARGH!

Sorry, but here is a little rant! Vancouverites in general are terrible, terrible drivers!! But the worst are taxi drivers! Traffic laws don't even seem like guidelines to them. It is a total disregard for human safety. Examples from the last 48 hours alone:

1. Taxi stops short on one of the busiest streets, at the busiest times of day in downtown Vancouver causing all cars behind him/her to stop short and almost rear end each other...to let it's passenger out and work out payment.

2. Taxi cuts off other driver, then drives below speed limit in front of him towards the green traffic light and after the light turns yellow slams on the accelerator and goes through a stale yellow light leaving the car he/she cut off behind.

3. Taxi drives without slowing down to a red light then quickly turns right with out stopping or signaling and cuts of pedestrians in cross walk and oncoming cars.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I BET IF THEY HIT SOMEONE THEY WOULD JUST KEEP DRIVING!!
