People in that area are idiots, that's for sure! In this case, the taxi driver doesn't seem to be at fault. However, the taxi drivers contribute to the mess, when they stop in the middle of the road to load up passengers! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> We were stopped by a taxi driver in June who stopped in front of the boat bar and blocked traffic BOTH WAYS, while he loaded up his TWELVE PASSENGER van, VERRRRRRRY slowly.

Agreed, especially around Sunset. People walk in the road, walk on the top of the road divider, after drinking, and it is scary to drive by there, worried that people will fall into the road in front of your car, etc...

Alcohol just isn't an acceptable excuse for stupid behavior. Where do you see not taking responsibility? She paid for damages, no? She made a mistake, got carried away, and ended up hurt. Not sure what being judgmental does at this point.

Not sure what being judgmental does at this point. I agree, she got hurt, I'm sure she learned a lesson. She was probably so scared, I feel bad for her. Like Durathror said it was a mistake. Let's hope she is okay, that's what I am thinking about.

The police also should come by and stop the taxis from stopping in the MIDDLE of the road, blocking traffic both ways and picking up people.

It is entertaining though....as a trauma nurse in BOS these are my clients <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> What does that mean exactly, when you say, you are a trauma nurse and these are your clients?

"in BOS"...well, because the type that do this in SXM participate in similar self injuring actions when at home...thus...they usually end up in an ER somewhere and become clients (or patients) of that facility...

boucharda said: It's bad enough to stand across the street and get sand blown through your skin but to hold onto the friggin fence and not expect a rock to penetrate your skull is just plain dumb....and...it's no fun to watch...much better to watch multiple hat chasings and a couple of 180's into the ocean... Not too long ago a young lady was struck from the fence and landed on the middle barrier, was badly injured.

As to Lesley's comment, here's a video link to the incident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzA7YDLl2fMThis young lady lived on the French side according to reports in the newspaper and should have known better. Last I heard she survived after hitting her head on the cement curb. Also, I'm fairly sure that Jim White coined the term, "You can't fix stupid" when he was at KMOX. I've used the term many times.
