TAXIS AND SPEED LIMITS
Sir.—Much has been made recently of the alleged fact that very few taxidrivers are involved in motor accidents. But how many do they causa by the reckless way in which they cut in and out of the line of traffic and swing rapidly around corners? One niav be driving along quietly in the stream and, without any warning, a taxi will loom alongside and then, in ahead, compelling a sudden lowering of speed or a swerve that may. easily cause confusion to those behind. And judging by their behaviour on K emu era Road on Saturday it is clear there are manv taxi-drivers who do not appear to "think the 30 miles an hour limit applies to them. \ idiii.
