NY taxi drivers = excellent

NY taxi drivers get a bad rap for driving like madmen. Well, they do drive like madmen, but I always feel absolutely safe and secure in a NY cab, even as we're zooming across three lanes of (oncoming) traffic with inches to spare between us and the other cars. I give myself over the way others give themselves over to Jesus.

Here's the thing: the cabbies spend eight, ten, even twelve hours a day driving the city streets. If you did anything day in day out you'd become pretty good at it. So I say: they drive like madmen -- but highly skilled madmen -- making them, well, not at all mad.
