Don't ...

get in my cab, drunk and belligerent and get pissy with me when I ask you to put your seat belts on. It's the law. (Except for cab drivers, school children on a bus and city buses everyone else in the state of Oregon has to wear a seat belt. I don't like it, except that I don't have to wear one while driving a cab, because I feel that once I become an adult, can drink, drive and vote then damn it I'm adult enough to kill myself however I choose. But that's just me.)

And if it comes to the point that I have to explain this to your drunk, belligerent ass and you say something like "Fuck that. I am not wearing a seat belt!" Then don't get angry if I choose to not give you a ride. It's my right as the driver of a vehicle to kick your ass outta my car.

Not a good week to be a taxi driver?

Whaaat? Your schoolkids don’t have to wear a seatbelt?? I’m pretty sure over here, the only drivers not required to “belt up” are those morbidly obese. Not much chance of them flying through the car windscreen I guess.

We can, as a driver get fined for allowing a passenger to travel un-belted.

I didn't know taxi drivers didn't have to wear seat belts. I always wondered why they never did in chicago. But its a different species of people out here.
