In tonights local rag a piece about a taxi driver who beat a passenger
with
a wheel brace after he critised him for allegedly exceeding the speed
limit
and running red lights.
The judge didn't jail him on the grounds he'd lose his job.

Do we really want taxi drivers who assault passengers that object to being
driven through red lights?

Am I odd because I think any respectable company would sack him anyway for
beating up a customer?

The council's Licensing Committee may well remove his licence for a period
anyway -- which will hit him hard in the pocket.
