Is it acceptable to request a taxi driver stop using their phone while driving?

Making calls or texting on a handheld phone while driving is illegal and unsafe basically everywhere, and you’re entirely within your rights to tell them to stop and, if they don’t, complain to the taxi authorities or even the police.

If they’re using a hands-free device though, and vast majority of cabbies are, you’re likely out of luck. This is (usually) legal, and dealing with bookings is a critical part of their livelihood: you’re already in the cab, they’re trying to find their next fare.

Of course, you can always request they stop, and ask to be dropped off right then and there if they don’t. But if you’re in enough of a hurry that you’re in a taxi in the first place, this may not be a realistic alternative.
