A DUMFRIES taxi driver admits he has considered quitting his job after being subject to abuse from customers.
The driver – who wished to remain anonymous – says he received personal verbal abuse from a couple of passengers which left him frightened.
And he told the Dumfries Courier that he hoped by sharing his story that people could be more kinder.
He said: “There’s been a couple of horrible experiences, it really made me think whether taking personal abuse is worth the job.
“I had to remain calm and not shout back because you just don’t know what people can be capable of. I didn’t want to be physically attacked.
“I wanted to share this and plead with people to be kind.”
