[nabs-l] Cab Drivers Talking on Their Cell Phones

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Nicole,
I have used cabs privately and when they contract with our paratransit 
service, metro access.
Its half and half I think. VA has not passed a no talking law yet, but they 
have banned texting while driving.
Yes when a cab driver talks on the phone for a majority of the ride, it 
certainly bothers me.
I know they cannot focus on driving as well when they are having a personal 
conversation.  No I
haven't talked to anyone about it; but I've thought about talking to the cab 
company. I'm not sure what their policy is about cell phones. That is 
something I've wanted to find out though.

I'd say if you feel unsafe, talk to the cab company and get the policy. If a 
cab driver violates that policy, then report him/her; get the cab number and 
if possible the driver's name.

Ashley

    Hello everyone. For various reasons, I frequently use cabs for 
transportation, and I had a few questions for the members of the list. Do 
you find that a lot of cab drivers talk on their cell phones while driving? 
If so, does this bother you? Have you ever talked to anyone about it, and, 
if so, who?

Nicole and my guide dog Lexia
