A video of a taxi driver continually playing with his phone is becoming very popular on social media.
The driver is messing about texting using the Line application in his left hand. Sometimes he even takes his right hand off the steering wheel to send a message.
The female passenger in the back videos the ride and explained later that they nearly had an accident as the driver was more interested in his phone than their safety.
Amporn Kapthong, 21, posted the clip on Facebook with the ironic comment: “I didn’t know the law permits a taxi driver to play with their phone during a journey.
And they also seem to be allowed to have a go at passengers who are not in the wrong”.
The grumpy driver in the clip is mad because the passengers are not completely sure of the way. Amporn and her elder sister were travelling from Victory Monument to Sam Sen railway station on Sunday afternoon.
There should be only one of course of action to take following this incident. Immediately revoke the driver’s taxi license and send out a message to all other would-be offenders.
