Now that the woman has her own car, she’s been discovering some interesting things on the roads in Cape Town. @taraberwin also shared that she didn’t drive in London due to them having a "tube" everywhere – a slang term for the London Underground, the city’s railway system. As a result, she hadn’t driven for nearly six years.

When talking about taxi drivers in London, @taraberwin said the following:

"Taxi drivers in London have a reputation of being like, quite brazen, quite brave and just kind of you weaving in and out a little bit."

She further explained that taxi drivers in South Africa give her "anxiety." @taraberwin recalled an incident where she was driving on a main road and a taxi crossed six lanes on the highway, leaving her in shock.

@taraberwin expressed that the taxi organisation is allegedly a "mafia" and, according to her, a "corrupt organisation" that tries to get money from people by coming up with schemes. She stated the following in the video:
