Well I've been abused by passengers, but self-evidently not murdered by any, but if my experiences led to a campaign against crime against drivers by passengers, are you saying that I would have to leave assualts and murder out of it just because I hadn't suffered it myself?
If it led to a campaign? Do you think there may be a reason there isn't such a campaign? It surely can't be for lack of subject material.
Please campaign away at your will but DON'T go around suggesting that Murderers and assailants are not being punished and we need laws changed in order to do so. It would be however stupid to treat all your passengers as murderers and rapists, and if you do sir you will attract objections from people like myself.
There are campaigns like
hail-safe that are fairly high profile and she could have joined up with to make difference. They warn women of risks of using cabs when alone and they offer advice on what to look for etc. I have no objection to that but it seems this lady needed some subject material for her media studies project and decided to make innocent taxi drivers a target of her attention. I hope she didn't make the grade in her degree course based on this project, otherwise as is suggested on another thread, God help us. Now that she has modified her objectives, there is little to argue about but ifs and buts.
