Shortly after leaving work today, I was driving in an urban, residential area on a street with five lanes and a posted speed limit of 35mph. I was in the "fast" lane going my usual 5-8 mph over the speed limit when a white SUV swerved out from behind me into the right lane, sped up well over 45mph, and swerved back in front of me. It proceeded to weave between another car and into the turn lane.

Normally, this wouldn't have stood out to me. I wouldn't have thought twice about it. But this particular vehicle had a huge sicker on the back window - a picture of children's smiling faces, a phone number, and the words "Precious Cargo On Board".

I certainly hoped not!

I wasn't familiar with this particular child taxi service before today. But now, I'm fully aware of who they are, what they do, and why I'll never use them.
