Thankfully, the taxi quickly realised his mistake and stopped the car just a few metres down the road.

Imagine if the taxi went way too far ahead.

The passenger then walked briskly to the taxi, pointing back at the road, as if gesturing that he didn’t get on previously because a car was approaching.
