Recently I got two painful reminders about black taxis. They are not professional and don’t know that moving a seat can hurt people.

The first one was when I was maneuvering my ample buttocks into the front seat of a black taxi.  The seat was pulled all the way up, but I thought I  could get in.  In the middle of the process, the driver pulled the lever which freed the seat to slide back about a 18 inches. I simply fell into the car and got hit in the back of the head by the top of the car. It was a big ouch.

The same week, I got in the back of a black taxi and the driver, again without warning, slid the passenger seat backwards and nailed both of my shins.  Remember. black taxis are driven by amateurs. Be careful of that front passenger seat.  Also, don’t hang your arm out the window. Drivers often close these windows without notice.
