M: Hello, Juliet. I know you are one of the few women taxi drivers in the city now, and you drive for a living. What made you want to become a taxi driver in the first place?
W: I took pride in driving well even when I was young, for I had to wait until I had a car to learn to drive. When I finally learned, it was something I really enjoyed and still enjoy. I remembered how smart those taxi drivers had seemed driving so well, and dressed so neatly in their uniforms and I thought I’d like to do that myself.
M: You really enjoy driving, I see. And how long have you been a taxi driver?
W: Er, all together 12 years.
M: Mm, for quite some time already, hasn’t it?
W: Yeah.
M: Then, what did you find the most difficult about becoming a taxi driver?
W: I can still remember when I was first learning to drive—it was scary. I didn’t know yet how to judge distance, and when a big truck came near it seemed like its wheels would just come right over me. Anyway, soon I learned to judge distance. I began looking ahead, stopped worrying about trucks and about what was moving on either side.
M: In your opinion, what does it take to become a good driver?
W: Eh, besides driving well, the most important thing a taxi driver needs to know is the streets, and I knew the city well because I had lived in it for a long time. I knew all the main streets, and even the side streets. And of course you have to keep updating your knowledge of the streets, because the city changes. There might be a new road appearing somewhere one day.
M: Now, what about annual leaves? Do you have them?
W: Oh, yes. When I first started, I had only ten days. Now, I have three weeks every year, with pay.
M: Just out of curiosity. When you go on vacation to another place or city, do you drive there as well?
W: In most cases, not. I prefer to be driven by others, if we go by car. I would also prefer to go by train or plane, if there is a choice. I have already had too much driving in my life. So, when on holiday, I just want to relax.
M: I see.
