Not only are these rather large vehicles a jolly way of transportation for the drunk, the lazy and lame, they are also extremly dangerous. The Glasgow cab does not break for pedestrians. It doesn't want to and it is mostly operated in a way that it is not able to. Trying to get into the way of those shadowy gigantic street beasts can kill people of all ages on foot, bike or crutches.
Apart from their murderous driving style, the operators of these monsters are a funny bunch. Here's an excellent journal of one of them.
