Many taxi drivers disregard our safety

The photo page showing Las Vegas cab drivers picketing against the Uber movement (Las Vegas Sun, June 4) shows them holding signs saying “Keep Our Road Safe”. While many people may side with them on the Uber issue, our local taxi drivers are the last ones who should be walking around holding such signs. I suspect many Las Vegas drivers have witnessed our noble taxi drivers speeding, making unsafe lane changes and engaging in overall aggressive driving habits on more than one occasion. I believe the Uber drivers use their own vehicles, which I would think they would be inclined to drive with more care.
