Last Sunday I witnessed traffic accident on my way home. I was wandering down the sidewalk while I heard a loud noise. Two taxis crashed into each other about ten meter away. I went up and found the two drivers badly injured, bleeding or trapped in the taxis. Lucky, they were rescued in time because of people came to help them and called an ambulance. It was clear that the taxi drivers were such eager to take more passengers that they drive too fast. These drivers lacked responsibility for the safe of their passengers. What they did was dangerous for others as well as them.
