Drunk "Aloha" Taxi Driver

Driving down Palani tonight at 5 pm, I encountered an taxi with a sign on top that said "Aloha." The guy was bombed out of his mind. He could not stay in his lane and almost caused a few nasty head on accidents. I was right behind him. He also was doing way under the speed limit. By the time we got down Palani, had traffic was backed way up the hill. I called the Aloha taxi number in the phone book to warn them that their driver was majorly drunk, but the person who answered the phone hung up on me. I tried to call back and he would not answer the phone.

I did not call the police since I encountered the same thing a couple of years back and the police would not do anything. The police dispatcher did not even know where I was located when I gave her specific cross road streets. Scary to have someone like that anwering emergency calls!

Anyway, I thought I should warn people about this company.

Very, very scary.
