Thanks to Bernard Chapin for making the video and let his viewers know about this problem,
Here is the problem folks, Australian women, specially young white one are getting drunk specially during weekends, they are giving orders and instructions to the drivers whom are not listening or obeying.
The DailyTelegraph report the news with the headline "Culture clash as chicks vs cabbies"
ANGRY white females are clashing with migrant taxi drivers - forcing the industry to develop cultural training on dealing with drunk, aggressive and assertive women.But drivers warn such confrontations cut both ways.The headline and quote above is an attempt to justify drunk women behavior and label their opinion as prove of independence and empowerment, that immigrants male drivers just don't understand "Australian women can be more aggressive and assertive than some new drivers might be used to in their own culture," the angry white female and immigrants taxi driver is a cheap technique to show who are the Indians and whom are the cowboys when help from pictures of a white young woman and a brown taxi driver.
The industry says significant resources have been devoted to training drivers in Australian culture and attitudes - and women, in particular - with experienced drivers helping recruits learn the ropes.
But tough-talking Australian women are still proving a culture shock for many. "Australian women can be more aggressive and assertive than some new drivers might be used to in their own culture," Queensland Taxi Council president Max McBride said."In world terms they are free as you can get, as they should be, and they know what they want and they don't mind saying it.

The brown immigrant taxi driver can't handle white independent woman's opinion, that is the premises here and Amber Holland is fed up, drivers better deal with it, they as Asians are costumed to control women, and they better know that Australian women are strong and so empowerment that any whom don't fallow their order must be reeducated to obey, right?
On the other side Australians can be rude and aggressive when they've been drinking. "A lot of Asian-type countries aren't that aggressive in the way they deal with people so that's a cultural difference," Mr McBride said.NSW Taxi Council chief executive Peter Ramshaw said drivers were offered free help studying English and trained to deal with passenger conflict.
"Our training covers how to deal with passengers who can at times be difficult. It's about avoiding conflict," he said.
Amber Holland, 19, from Wollongong, said she was fed up with cabbies who did not listen to her.
"Taxi drivers are generally quite rude," she said. "They don't listen to our directions.
"A lot of Australian women know what they want and where they want to go and I don't think they like that."
But Sydney driver Shah Dewan, who has worked for Taxis Combined for four years, said it was the women he picked up who were rude.
"I have to deal with drunk women, especially on weekends," Mr Dewan said.
"They are good-looking, dress well and are nice before they get in the taxi but, when they do, they are different.
"They talk loudly, they are demanding - there are too many problems to list."
Under freedom of information laws, The Sunday Telegraph has obtained an "in confidence" proposal for values training for cabbies commissioned by Liberal MP Teresa Gambaro, in 2007. The $30,000 pilot program aimed to teach new drivers Australian "norms and values".
Ms Gambaro said the proposal, which did not proceed, was developed in response to concerns raised by several taxi councils.
Emphasis mine
Women's drunk state is never brought into account while men culture is shown as reason for the problem, so they clash, women intoxication is not put as excuse for drivers to NOT pay attention, in fact Amber herself claim to know what she wants
"Taxi drivers are generally quite rude," she said. "They don't listen to our directions."A lot of Australian women know what they want and where they want to go and I don't think they like that.",
Lets imagine a different scenario, you want Amber? ok, imagine you are giving this rude taxi driver the address where you want to go, after a party, you alone in the cab and this brown guy is taking you where you want to go, you tell the driver the direction even though the alcohol level in your body is on the sky, he obeys your order because you know what you want and where to go,right?, the intoxication is NOT reason to NOT pay attention of what you say, now imagine you tell the driver to stop in the dark and have sex, but your first offer him oral sex and he accepts after sex he takes you where you say is your home, it must be your home because you know where you want to go.
Next day you woke up in the street without a clue where your are, you call a friend and tell her to pick you up, you believe you were rape so you go to the police, you are examined and semen is found in your clothes, you press charge against the taxi driver for rape.
Women in Australia will believe they were raped if this happen to them, including you.
Now answer this Amber:
How are you capable of making complex decisions like direction and address that are harder during night to a random taxi driver while intoxicated but enable to consent sex in the same level of intoxication to the same random taxi driver?
Depending of your answer you have two options here:
1-You must admit that the taxi drivers are doing right by not paying attention when you give them orders and directions while you are in intoxicated state the same behavior you would like to expect from the driver when you tell him to have sex while drunk.
2-You are able to accuse the driver of rape because he must not take what you say in intoxicated state serious.
Both options give you one problem, if the driver must not take what you say serious like having sex because the alcohol in your body, then how is he is suppose to take your directions and addresses you give him serious in first place? in the moment he release you are drunk, how does he know what you are going to regret when you get sober and what not.
You are trapped in a paradox and the driver solves the problem very easy, he won't pick up women in the night specially from bars, problem solved.
Then people like you will come saying how hard if for women to get a taxi, the problem you have is that taxi driver are refusing to pick up people from bars and thanks to the high number of women parting at night, women will have more trouble to get where want to go.
Of course this an imaginary story but considering Amber's opinion and life style this could happen to her and other Australian women soon, many women take the decision to have sex while intoxicated and after the sex just regret it and accuse of rape, there are many men specially young men whom were arrested while in college for this.
New definition of rape put the burden on the male when the woman they are having sex with is intoxicated, when men get drunk and something happen to them is their fault, when women get drunk and something happen to them is everybody else fault.
An any attempt to put responsibility on women is considered victim-blaming or rape-apologist.
The posters, which suggest drunk rape victims were to blame, have angered anti-rape campaigners
- The West Mercia Police were forced to apologise
- Hundreds were put up in pubs in Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire
- A web page link and video have been removed from the police force's website
