Ugh. That's why you should always use a seatbelt in a taxi.
As the article states, the film was loosely based on his life (it's about 1% true). For the true story read the book.

I agree that we should wear seatbelts.
I also think nearly every taxi driver I have ridden with has made far too many reckless moves, to the point where I won't use them now. This incident reinforces that position for me.

It's a sad commentary on today's world that when I saw this topic, I was half-expecting that it was some sort of murder-suicide. --Bob
