Is it normal taxi drivers don't need to know english?

9 Comments

In Australia they recently passed a rule where taxi drivers no longer have to know english to drive. The fuck? How are people suppose to tell them where they want to go when they don't understand? It's like going to America and speaking Albanian and expecting everyone to know what you're saying.

I know there are many people who speak different languages but if you're going to permanently live in a country why wouldn't you learn the main language everyone speaks? Again it's like moving to Vietnam and not bothering to learn vietnamese.

I'm so sick of Australia, this cuntry is bullshit.

      Number of terrorists in America: hundreds.
      Number of taxi drivers: millions.
      Your logic is quite seriously flawed.

    Can they understand where I want to go in a language I speak? If not, well, no business for them from me. It's as simple as that really. Understand my directions or you don't get my business.

    Not being racist but if you live and work in that country you should be able to speak the language
