Odd that you mention Hummers, I drove by one on the way back from failing
my test. Given the keys to both, I'd still pick the troublesome cabby. And
I'm sure they want the older ones off the road, under five years old is
exempt. So the rich have no worries, and the average guy/hot chick gets an
extra hassle and expense.
