You think legislation will stop the problem? It's already illegal. Be aware of your surroundings, call 911 when you see a problem and stop whining. Really?

I had a really similar experience this morning, but my hands were full, I started to feel threatened, and wanted to stop engaging him before I thought to mention the police or the fact that no, he actually doesn't have "the right" to say whatever he wants to anyone. Thanks for sharing your somewhat more triumphant story.

I was sexually harassed leaving a bar one night and started crying. When I got into my cab he started driving, but decided to kick me out of the cab claiming I was "too drunk". I tried to explain to him what happened and he started to scream at me. I refused to get out and I called the police. They came, hailed me another cab, and fined my driver for refusing to take me to where I wanted to go. We need to stop being afraid to call the police on these cab drivers.
