Cabs outnumber privately-owned vehicles in the city of Chicago by four or five to one most of the time. Of the 14 accidents I've seen at the corner where I work in the past 15 years, 11 have involved cabs. This is a call for tighter regulation, mandatory training, and higher violation penalties on cab drivers in the city.

Cab 151 And Another Unidentified Cab Lane Breach
Cab 151 is the rear-most cab in this picture. It is stopped at the traffic light halfway into one of the oncoming lanes. Basically, half of it was over the directional dividing line between East and West-bound lanes.
As the light turned green, BOTH West-bound cabs pulled into the East-bound lane I was driving East in, as they were attempting to make a left turn into the Southbound lane of the cross street before I could cross the intersection.
This compounds illegal lane use, going the wrong way, and failure to yield the right-of-way.
Around 19:10 CST this evening or a little earlier.
