Question 6 of 30

What would you do if a passenger began to do drugs or anything illegal in your taxi?

This question is one that tests your morals and courage. What is most important is that the interviewer knows you'd never condone illegal behavior and will do your best to avoid such an ordeal.

Of course, the ideal action to take would be to calmly tell the passengers to step out of the vehicle before reporting it to nearby police. However, there have been cases where volatile and potentially dangerous passengers become aggressive, which is why some taxi drivers choose to stay silent. Tell the interviewer that you're mentally prepared should such a situation arise. Also, mention that if the taxi company already has a protocol for dealing with this kind of circumstance, you'd gladly follow their protocols.

      1st Answer Example

      "I would be happy to learn more about your protocols when it comes to passengers breaking laws while on a taxi trip. My current employer asks us to stop the car and call the police; however, it is much easier to do this when you have a partition between yourself and the passengers."

      2nd Answer Example

      "If a passenger began to do drugs or any other illegal activity in my vehicle, I would pull over and ask them to leave. Then, I would report the situation to dispatch. Is this the protocol you follow here?"
