Taxi Driver’s Viral Outburst Sparks Industry Debate

A viral video of a taxi driver yelling at a female passenger—telling her to “go back to her country”—has ignited national outrage and sparked a heated debate about respect, safety, and accountability in service industries. The driver, Dwayne Weeks, claims he was dealing with an intoxicated, confused passenger who gave him only a general location and was filming him in anger. He apologized, saying he could have handled the situation better. The passenger, visibly frightened, asked where she was being taken, prompting his dismissive and racially charged response. Other drivers weighed in, highlighting how such incidents unfairly damage the entire industry and revealing how many female passengers now prefer female drivers for safety. The incident has reignited conversations about power dynamics, passenger behavior—including alleged refusal to pay and vehicle damage—and calls for Transport Control to address complaints.
