Durban - Skipping traffic lights, driving recklessly... Many taxi drivers believe they can get away with horrendous road behavior in South Africa.

Sadly, most road users allow unruly taxi drivers to continue to endanger motorists. Try and confront a reckless taxi driver and you might end up in a heated confrontation... or worse.
