oh, forgot.... i've also had taxi drivers who refuse to turn the meter on and want to negotiate a price. i tell them that if they don't turn it on, i will either get out of the car or they will take me there for free... after much argument, he will turn the meter on and funnily enough the fare is half the price of what he wanted me to pay (which i knew all along anyway), so then i have a go at him for trying to overcharge me and he admitted he does this to women passengers... i was very annoyed !!
