I was driving on the duel carriage dekalia road today. I was in the right hand land when i saw coming up behind me at least 90+ a taxi, the limo type. I had to swerve into the other lane otherwise he would have hit me from behind. As he past he almost lost control and nearly crashed into the crash barrier in the middle, missing it by mere "mm's". He then rebounded into the other lane almost smacking straight into another car. Before he got to the port round about and without pausing drove straight out in front of a lorry and two cars.

He had passengers and if it had been me in that car i would have been making a mental note never to travel by taxi again. I would certainly have been terrified and in fear of my life.

A week ago i was driving along the agia napa motorway , over the speed limit in the right hand lane, over taking another car. When i had a taxi over take me on the right hand side using the thin hard shoulder!

Have taxi drivers always been this mad? Or have they just got worse now they think they have the power to hold the whole country to ransom?

A taxi never overtook me When you say "90+" you mean kilometers or miles?

taxi drivers are exempt from all forms of prosecution they have a government minister behind them also a powerful mafia type union so what do you expect on a motorway I've been travelling at 120 MILES PER hr on limmasol paphos m'way and been passed by a loaded taxi.
the words to use on getting in a taxi here are 'is that as fast as this thing goes'!!

Who needs taxis and buses? We have cars.
