I heard Alexi Sayle (minor celeb in the UK) saying the other day that he had a friend who drove a Prius but got rid of it because he was fed up of people randomly getting in because they assumed it was a taxi.

I have always said, however, that if you're looking a for a good value reliable car you should always take note of what cars taxi drivers buy.

He currently has a feature on Radio 4 where he interviews random train passengers. Possibly not the radical outcome he originally envisaged?

I had a complete stranger suddenly get into the passenger sear of my Prius when I was dropping off a friend at the metro station. We had locked eyes as my friend was getting out, and I waved out of politeness. I guess he misunderstood and assumed I was driving a cab/uber/whatever. My friend later said he got the impression the guy thought I was selling drugs.

I'll think twice the next time I feel the need to wave out of politeness in future.
