Another taxi driver goes off at the deep end...
http://www.guardian.c...icences?newsfeed=true
The BBC news report on the radio took great pleasure in mentioning the killer was a taxi driver. They seem the need to mention occupation - when the killer is a taxi driver.
But then again taxi drivers to seem to crop up with alarming regularity when it comes to a violent crime such a murder or rape. Several years ago in the US, postal workers had a spate of commiting murder, enough to coin the expression 'going postal' - are taxi drivers the UK equivalent, and why would this be?

would suggest that taxi driving would suit/attract certain personality types rather than the job being the cause.... then add the exposure of constant high stress city driving to the mix and it would possibly increase the risk of abberant behaviour...

taxi driver gives someone who has devious intentions plenty of opportunity and a good cover.
behaviour that would be considered weird and unlikely without that guise...becomes normal and expected.... waiting around streets, watching people, lurking outside houses, picking up strangers, being out and about for hours at all hours of the night etc etc
although most are perfectly decent people, it does give the weirdo the best 'options'
