I hate it when teams get eliminated too soon. Especially when it's due to a bad taxi driver.
On this weeks episode of The Amazing Race, Amy and Daniel were sadly eliminated when they had the misfortune of getting into a taxi that did not know the city. The taxi driver was unable to find Wijaya Motor where teams were to find their next clue. By the time they found their destination, most teams had checked into the pit stop.
How is this even possible. Isn't it a requirement of taxi drivers to know how to get anywhere and everywhere in your own city?
According to Education-Portal.com a taxi driver should have a "knowledge of local geography and map-reading skills are essential."
This information is based in the United States, but I should hope this should apply everywhere, even in Indonesia.
I felt so bad for Amy and Daniel to be stuck with a taxi driver that couldn't find a simple locations. I wish that The Amazing Race wouldn't eliminate teams in these situations. The sad thing is that this happens every season and the taxi drivers never change. Someone always ends up coming in last due to a taxi driver that doesn't know their own city.
To all the taxi drivers out there, learn your city or invest in a GPS, everyone will be appreciative.
