November
Fare evasion is a crime ..... punishable by some law apparently and thats fine if one is willing to give up 3hours of ones evening losing cash waiting for the police to arrive.........
Sometimes fare evaders can be rather funny tho
.....
A night in november 3 young guys got into a taxi at the " fighty " nightclub , they all sat in the back and were very seedy and vague in where they wished to go ......The taxi driver immediatley figured something was up.
Driving north along "Hapman"road he heard the boys whispering about where they were going to stop and they decided on a quiet side street up in "lenfield", as the driver pulled in the boys immediatly opened both back doors and tried to leg it ...... which was all well and good for 2 of them but the 3rd got his foot stuck in the seatbelt cord, tripped up and smacked his head into the road ........ He wasnt very happy
....... The friendly Godlovvin Concerned driver jumped out and proceeded to laugh his guts out at this poor soul that had just knocked out a tooth and was in quite a dazed state........
The poor lad was rather nervous also as his mates had left him posted and he had no cash to pay for the ride......
I figured he had given me Enough of a giggle to cover the fare and decided to drive him home anyways on the promise he didnt bleed on anything in the car , he agreed. On the trip up the road he proceeded to moan and gripe about his 2 not so good mates that left him in the lurch so i offered a cunning plan to cure my warped sense of humour.
He knew where the fellas were heading and where they would come out on the bush track they had run down...... It was decided to go round the other side and park in the bush with no lights etc until they got there.... They turned up about 10 mins later strutting there stuff back onto the road where the warped driver and bleeding, dazed, newly found friend switched on the lights and sped towards them with the horn blaring and high beam and spotties........ They ran and they ran and they ran , i think they might even still be running

The bleeding,dazed,toothless young man is now a regular client of the drivers and always has the coin to cover taxi fares.
