Accidents waiting to happen (3)

A Wuhan cab driver surnamed Yang told the Global Times that while he had not had problems with the brakes on his taxi, he heard of many other drivers who had been involved in accidents and blamed their vehicles' braking system.

Another driver surnamed Liu was quoted by CCTV as saying his car is like a bomb.

"I have driven cab for over 10 years, and this car is like a killing tool," Liu said.

Drivers also worry about possible explosions now that 70 percent of the city's taxis have switched from using gasoline to liquefied petroleum gas.

Wuhan started to replace cabs with C-Elysee in April 2011 and the fleet of them transports 950,000 passengers a day.
