That's egregious. How long ago was that? Was it a legitimate cab?

Until very recently, NYC's TLC required drivers to pass tests to prove geographical knowledge and basic English.

It was in the 1970s. I know others with similar stories. Yup, a legitimate yellow cab. There may have been a legal testing requirement, but I assume you know how that goes in the big city.

Yeah, wasn't shocked, just curious. I do think it's gotten better since then.
