some more taxi views

I'm finding this photography remarkably therapeutic - no more road rage for me - a calm hand produces a steady photograph!


check the man smiling - and note the hat - the majority of perpetrators wear  a diversity of hats! I'm hoping that my dear friend Dudley will find a moment to share his artistic skills with me on that front...


sorry - the hat is not visible.



my favourite spot for the name and shame game!



see the hat?



An ode to Windhoek City's town planning department - I must get some kind of appropriate quote from Hugo on the subject :-)!


I couldn't do the follow up here, but a video-clip would have had everyone rolling in the aisles!


Ain't he busted - that's another observation I can make - most of our Windhoek taxi-drivers are male. 
Taxis driven by women are inevitably fitted with hats.

It's time for a name and shame game with windhoek taxis

Having watched the mayhem at the taxi ranks at Mareua Mall and the University of Namibia entrance, I think it is high time that we create a website where we can post our photos of taxis breaking road rules. I'm not sure how easy it will be to identify the owners of the taxis in question, but a public site with photos may help City police come closer to creating a demerit system for wayward taxi drivers and their owners!

Some picture to follow!
