Driving a car at a high speed (速度) along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs (交通标志) beside the highways and they will take you to where you wish.

But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smaller road to the most popular bar (酒吧).He has to be at the service of all kinds of people at all times. He usually goes home between 2 and 3 o’clock in the morning. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs.
