I agree, the cabbie ought to have exited off the highway if possible, but if that girl was wailing on the back of his head, what can you expect him to do?
I don't know if she deserved to get run over... but she sure as hell didn't need to start assulting a cab driver in a drunken fit.

i doubt it on the door lock thing. seems too dangerous. in case of accident and the such, also thats probably illegal for non-police types.
and the partiton. only in real big cities. i have never seen a cab with one actually.

h: It would be easy enough to tie into the SRS circuit, so if the airbags or a g-sensor goes off, the doors unlock. :dunno:At any rate, it's unfortunate that she stepped out onto I-15 and got mulched, but given the circumstances and what I've read, I don't think the driver was negligent.
