    Only in HK?

    Flipping over his taxi, as in rolling over the car? Lol wonder how he managed to pull that off. Usually that requires high speed and results in significant injuries.

    Shame, driving a taxi is probably what he has been doing his whole life. Wonder what the poor guy will do if they take his license away.

    In a frightening moment on Tuesday night, a 70-year-old taxi driver suddenly fainted while traveling through a cross-harbor tunnel which scared a female passenger into pressing the brakes and stopping the vehicle in time.

    Enquirying minds want to know how the passenger jumped into the front and pressed the brakes in a few seconds!

    According to surveillance camera footage in the tunnel, the taxi drove forward for a few seconds before the passenger stopped it.
    I am assuming she was in the front seat...

    No clue where the handbrakes are in this model .. also not sure where they're in the old Toyotas which have bench seats.

    Is it next to the steering wheel or in the middle area covered by the paper?
