Psycho taxi drivers not a myth
Have you ever gotten into a taxi and thought "this
guy's a psycho!" Well if you were in Peru you might have been right. 40 percent of the 640 taxi and bus drivers that
took part in a university study actually showed psychopathic attributes including "aggressive, anxious and antisocial
behavior." The best quote though is "drivers showed they would not feel any guilt in injuring or running over a
pedestrian." That's nice. Now can the same folks do a study in Chicago, New York and L.A.? That 40 percent number might
rise. And to add some levity to today's offering: please create a caption for the image to the right that fits the tone
of this post. Winner gets free chuckles.

Peruvian cab driver, Juan Sanchez, preps his taxi for the afternoon shift. He claims that "32 psi is the best tire pressure for achieving a balance between tread-wear, fuel economy, and maintaining traction through blood and over bodies."

But is 40% high or low compared to the general population?

Rising prices for compressed air, a side effect of unchecked inflation, has forced this motorist to resort to theft.

LIMA - Peruvian taxi driver Alonso, inflates a competitors tire with propane before applying a timed hidden igniter. Lima taxi drivers frequently sabotage their competitors taxis as they compete for lucrative tourist fares during the busy summer season. Tourists are urged to use public transportation.
