Men hurt in fall from roof of cab Thursday 9 February 2012 Two men were injured today, one seriously, when they fell off the roof of a moving cab in Sheffield city centre. They jumped onto the roof of the black cab as it stopped at traffic lights on Carver Street the junction with Division Street at around 2.35am and fell off as the cab drove off towards Charter Square. Police said a 29-year-old from Woodhouse suffered a fractured skull, while the other - an 18-year-old from Intake - escaped with a minor head injury. Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 and quote incident 57 of Wednesday, February 8. Source; http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/local/bre ... _1_4225906 |

The thing with this is would the driver still be alive or even in a coma in hospital if he had stopped still and tried to order them off the roof. Its the same as those idiots that try to jump on and off moving freight trains to get a cheap ride home they were taking their lives in their hands doing it. Perhaps they saw that film that was on a few weeks ago about John Lennons early years there is a scene in that where they do the same thing but with a bus by standing on top of the bus shelter and climbing onto the roof PS like the avatar gusmac ! |

I don't believe that you have spent the last few hours looking it up. If they can't find anything under something then whatever will have to do. |

I think 'driving with undue care and attention' might cover it if they are so inclined to charge the poor taxi driver for moving with idiots on his roof |

I know someone who got some points for nearly the exact same thing, CU50 Causing or likely to cause danger by reason of load or passengers. |
