I take it you've experienced such an occurrence ?
Got some evidence/reports of this happening to a Brit ?
I have never witnessed a taxi driver even using a mobile phone while in the car with him in 22years.
Caution and common sense yes, scaremongering...no.
I have read about it in the Manila times nearly every time i go there and also my gf there said it happens a lot, especially with taxis around the airport
I think that maybe you dont use the taxis much in manila because its hard to get most of them off the phone and pay more attention to their driving, i had one driver even txting as we were going along, really these drivers are on the phone nearly always
in general the taxis are quite safe there (i use them every day) but in certain areas it requires more caution
anyway what are you going to save by doing this a few hundread pesos at best
