Default America's taxi capital: Bethel, Alaska
With one driver for every 62 residents, the Albanian and Korean cabbies drive circles around other towns. Well, it's just one circle: Only 10 miles of road are paved.

LOL...darn cabs. No matter where you go here you see them. Most of them are alright, theres a few loose cannons. The worst ones are from the company Lincoln drives for. They tailgate all the time. To me, all the young Kusko Cab drivers are the worst drivers in town. I can't stand any of them. I'm surprised no one has gotten killed yet. Most of the towns speed limit is 35 and of course 25 in residential areas, they never follow them. The drive out to the airport the limit is 45, they go about 55-60. There is no need for speeding here and yet they still do. I get along better with the Korean cabbies, not as cocky as the Albanians.

Default Albanian speak out
I am sorry Warptman, Most of my family drives for Kusko Cab and I used to drive out there, I know, I never drove over the speed limit, the one time I did I was bringing an EMT to Ambulance call because his car would not start. I am not a "young" albanian but I was 25 when I drove out there, so that is eight years ago, before I got into the construction trade. You have to realize, did you drive with caution as a youth, I bet you still do not.

Respectfully-

Kadriu
