I have been in taxis all over the world - but the worst in my experience, even surpasing India, was Istanbul.

One of the critera for getting a job as a taxi driver in Istanbul is to have zero imagination - they drive with no care for the consequences of thier actions - Yellow Perils

I remember being in Turkey years ago, in Bodrum. We got a taxi from our hotel into town and they driver took several short cuts, racing through back streets, no seat belts, looking at window, chain smoking......he was bloody Iranian! My first impression of Iranian drivers was not good!
