Dear,
Here comes another safety alert for everybody.

I think the message is clear and what me and you are supposed to do is
to share to as many people as possible.

Remember:
* Take the reg. number once you board a taxi,
* Inform your colleague/relative of the taxi particulars and the route,
* Let the driver understand that you have informed somebody else about
the route.

The story start-

A close friend of mine has told me of what happened to his wife on
Tuesday 12th February 2008!

She drew from Bank House ATM Tshs. 300,000/= and she was heading to
Regency Hospital. She went for a taxi at Old Post Office, during the
course of bargaining for price with the first Taxi driver, another Taxi
pulled around and the driver asked where this woman was heading to. He
was told and agreed to take her after dropping the other passenger as
they were heading the same route.

She was surprised when she saw the taxi going along Ally Hassan Mwinyi
road even After they passed Salender Bridge, on asking she was told that
they were going to drop the other passenger at Oyster bay and thus they
took Kenyatta Drive. As the drive way was clear this taxi was traveling
at a reasonably high speed when they asked her for the Phones and the
money she withdrew from the ATM of which she gave them.

When they were approaching Masaki the Taxi slowed down due to the number
of vehicle in the drive way. She took this chance to scream for help;
the guys were not amused, they opened the car and pushed her out and
sped off.

The good Samaritans and the onlookers went for the rescue; she was safe
then and they told her she was luck to be dropped un hurt as the average
number of such victims, most of them injured is about 10 to 12 per day;
all of them claiming to have hired taxis from Posta or city centre.

"Please let it be known to others and be careful with Taxis in town! Let
you friends know, let members know so are your neighbors"

Regards-
